There are 3 kinds of VITAMINS!

Come along with me this week as I show you the 3 different types of vitamins on today's market! Today I am going to fill you in on the "Walmart, CVS, drug store" type vitamins. These are the vitamins that I typically bought for my family in the past. They were always on sale and with Extra Care Bucks from CVS, normally I could get them next to free! Why did I switch, you ask? Well, I never noticed any difference in the way I felt and my kids were still always catching colds! I always though that vitamins gave you an edge on immunity! While earning my Autism Specialist certificate, I began researching vitamins needed for optimal brain health.....which in turn, completely turned me off of the "drug store" type of vitamins!

Here is a low-down on synthetic vitamins that you purchase at your local store.........

Synthetic: Drug Store Variety (Man-made in a test tube!)

• No Enzymes (necessary for life - like the life force in a seed, aids nutrient metabolism)
• Inorganic Substances, Artificial Colors, Flavors, & Sweeteners (which NEGATIVELY affectmy children! Check out all the dyes and sweeteners that are in Flinstone's vitamins, ugg!)
• Mirror Image (beam of polarized light rotates in opposite
  direction from natural in Vitamin E)
• Stimulant (short term)
• Imbalanced
• Side Effects
• Harsh Binders and Fillers
• Many are coated with shellac which is nearly totally
  resistant to the penetration of stomach fluids: (from
  “Shaklee Discover the Difference” by Dr. Bruce Miller)

So with me doing the research, I learned that I was totally wasting my time and money to score a great deal on these vitamins! Time is precious to me with teaching full-time and having a family! And so is OUR HEALTH :)
