Your choice you need to know about synthetics, what's in your capsule or tablet.

[Guest guest]

Reprinted article for those who missed it, multivitamins, good or bad

synthetic or real your choice.

" All in all these multis are very acid forming.

First one is Vit A (50% from Beta Carotene) usually the other 50% is a

palmitate which is a synthetic acid residual. They are using Vit E

acetate which is run off from film processing from Kodak that they

sell the major vitamin companies.

The source of D is not listed either but it is usually a synthetic as

well.

Most B12 comes from sewer sludge. The minerals are not in chelate form

which makes them pretty much unusable when bound with the other

synthetics.

This one contains a chromium picolinate which can toxify the liver or

an extended period and will also heat the body.

With the first ingredient being Calcium Carbonate (chalk) it buffers

HCL so then none of the included supplements can be broken down for

bioavailable use and usually you wind up with a very healthy toilet

because that is whatthe body has to do with most of it is dump it.

5th ingredient is cellulose, this is a filler to make the tablet

bigger so you feel like you are getting your moneys worth.

Microcrystalline cellulose is a naturally derived stabilizer,

texturizing agent, and fat replacer. Sothis will actually reduce the

good fats as well by binding them.

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose is a pesticide resin that they shave

off wood and sell the sawdust as another filler. Silicon Dioxide is

sand.

Titanium dioxide is the standard white pigment used principally in

paints, paper and plastics. It is the most important pigment in the

world, accounting for about 70% of total volume. The pigment is made

by processing a variety of titanium-containing minerals such as

ilmenite, rutile, leucoxene or titanium slag. They use it to make the

vitamin a better color.

There is gelatin and starch and sucrose. Oh yes, sure we all have

deficiencies in these since they are key ingredients, right?

Cupric Oxide is black iron powder which the body usually can't

assimilate,especially when bound with Calcium carbonate.

Triethyl citrate (chelating agent and pH control) in pesticide

formulations applied to growing crops, raw agricultural commodities

after harvest, and animals. This is produced by Monsanto Company and

Zeneca Ag Products.

Makes you feel better already, huh?

Lactose the predominant sugar of milk. They use it in multis to

breaks down milk sugar into simpler forms that can then be absorbed

into the bloodstream.

Chromium chloride is a synthetic bordering on the toxic side.

Sodium Molybdate is used mostly for manufacturing dyes, pigments,

corrosion inhibitor

Sodium selenate and sodium selenite are used as supplements to

poultry and livestock feed to promote growth and prevent selenium

deficiency diseases.

Both compounds have been found in chemical waste sites. It is used to

dehydrate so that you don't flush as many residuals out of the body

through urine, like B vitamins.

Sodium Metavanadate is a recycled stablizing chemical. Actually can

burn in large quantities when in contact with skin in a raw form.

Nickelous Sulfate shows on a safety data sheet to be harmful if

swallowed and reported as a cancer causing agent in laboratory

animals and reproduction disorders. They use it as a stabilizing

agent so that acids from the other vitamins will not break down and

cause the tablet to get mushy.

I don't think I even have to provide all the information on the dyes

and colorings in here that are carcinogens. Of course they do make

the vitamin look good while sitting on your tongue for all of two

seconds!!! :-)

GO GET YOUR CENTRUM!!!......and put it in the garbage because I

wouldn't even give it to someone I didn't like! "

I would be careful of anything you put in your mouth ,specially

something formulated sympathetically .
