so one thing I want to cover is this dirty little secret that most everyone doesn’t know about vitamins being in the area of vitamins you know I’m able have a chance to talk with manufacturing companies and I don’t know if you realize this Karen but 90% of all vitamins made are synthetic they’re not natural so what does that mean well if something synthetic it mean it means that it’s made artificially it’s made from petroleum Wow how is that possible I know that’s weird you can make vitamins Dow Chemical Company is one of the main companies that makes synthetic vitamins and so they have ways of synthesizing them or making them from petroleum and like for example vitamin C like you you bought some vitamin C before right now if you look at the label it doesn’t really tell you all where it comes from but the way they make vitamin C is from cornstarch in sulfuric acid I mean that’s crazy isn’t it yes so first of all corn starch has zero vitamin C okay and sulfuric acid know about it see but if you combine these together you make something called ascorbic acid and what’s happening over the years is we’ve redefined vitamins like ascorbic acid is only one little piece of the vitamin C complex it’s not the whole thing and of course people not knowing that to think of they’re getting the full thing and then they’re taking it but not seeing the results so with working with people for many many years I find out the first thing is like oh you’re taking synthetic vitamins you don’t even know it like what so there’s a huge difference it’s like saying artificial flavoring is the same as natural flavoring it’s not well that reminds me of something um I had a friend who was taking high doses of vitamin C and she started to get broken capillaries in her nose yeah well that’s a perfect example I normally vitamin C is supposed to prevent capillary breakage or spider veins or varicose veins or bleeding gums but if you take it synthetic you actually caused that bleeding and that’s because the active ingredient in the vitamin C complex is routine or bioflavonoids it’s not ascorbic acid so vitamin C natural has all these other things that you’re not getting when you take this straight high potency ascorbic acid and you end up creating deficiencies and the very thing you’re trying to get rid of so we need a diagram yes well I’ve just put a diagram up right back here you can check it out between our heads so right there we go good so this is the vitamin C complex in nature as you can see in this diagram the outside of the shell is ascorbic acid that’s like the banana peel yeah egg shell to the egg or the banana peel or the orange peel but the inside of the vitamin C complex you have copper which is a mineral you have both flavonoids that’s rooted you have vitamin K and you have vitamin J and all of these inside complex parts gee-ya vitamin J is the called the anti pneumonia vitamin yeah that’s pretty cool it actually helps you increase oxygen especially when you’re going up inclines so if you’re deficient in vitamin J the J factor you’ll go up a flight of stairs and get out of breath easily so now you’re gonna ask me about the copper - I did ask you about enough okay good that’s a really good question so I prompt prompt that question pull that Ivor thank ya copper is a real key trace mineral to build collagen and collagen is what protects the capillaries so when you’re a deficient in copper you have you don’t have enough collagen so you have you know popping joints loose joints weak ligaments tendons sagging skin all sorts of issues and even a loss of collagen in the arteries can cause leaky arteries and even leaky gut nosebleeds bleeding gums but other than that you’re gonna be pretty much okay okay so I have a question so how is it that they can put this little portion of vitamin C of the real vitamin C in a pill and call it vitamin C well in 1950 if you look at some of the dictionaries before about 1950 and after they basically changed the definition of vitamin C - meaning I don’t know who they is but meaning vitamin C is ascorbic acid when reality in nature vitamin C never comes as ascorbic acid in nature that’s just one little tiny part of the whole deal the whole compound so they basically change the definition and alter that simply probably because most of the drug companies supply the raw materials for the synthetic vitamins so it’s a big business okay so all the vitamins see not all of it and C but a lot most of the vitamin C in the store is not the whole vitamin C no it’s not so where do I get vitamin C there’s a whole vitamin C you always want to get vitamin C from food or food concentrates now that’s why you know that’s why for example I don’t sell a multivitamin or vitamin C hey I was gonna ask you why don’t you sell a multivitamin you beat me to it or actually beat you to it it’s question 4 well because it kind of defeats the whole purpose of the person eating healthy even myself back in what with 20s I was driving around trying to find a vitamin store go on the store buy all these vitamins remember that I was like we had a warehouse of nutrition do they know we still do okay but before we had a lot more we mainly have all my our advice we were searching more now we know it’s good but back then we were searching I had an absence of awareness I’d be in a vitamin store and like I was tired I’m like maybe maybe this will increase my energy maybe I need this I’ve never heard about ginkgo biloba maybe I’ll try that and now we kept buying more vitamins and that didn’t work because I really at the time I didn’t know it but like nothing worked because my diet was crappy I didn’t know what to eat so trying to get your vitamins on top of a bad diet you’re not gonna see results and that’s why I don’t have a mold that’s why I don’t have vitamin C I want you to consume like real food to get that the nutrition that we have fortifies different things it handles different weaknesses within the body it helps enhance things that are hard to get from our diet so that’s why I turn okay so I have another question in there that I just forgot okay she were talking [Music] the jeopardy theme song [Music] I literally completely blanked out on that well we can talk about memory for the next topic no oh here here was the question because um you know hero d3 deficiency or I have this deficiency or that deficiency I’m just gonna take some supplements so does taking a supplement remedy a deficiency just by itself well yes and no for example it’s very difficult to determine what you’re deficient in because when you do a blood test for example in your blood and you measure it might not show up because the real problem is in your cells it’s in the tissues it’s not showing up in the blood huh your bile do whatever can to keep normal blood values so that’s the worst pace place to try to detect about a min efficiency the best place is in your hair doing a hair analysis but even then it might not show up until it’s a very deficient so you really have to understand some of the symptoms that vitamin C deficiencies can create and even then that takes a lot of knowledge knowledge about the body so I think the more scary no we’re not screwed because I think what we have to do is just start eating healthy and we’re gonna get what we need if you need vitamin D for example you’re gonna need about 20 minutes in the Sun that’ll give you your whole day of item D but that one of the challenges is people take vitamin D and they don’t see any changes because they’re not absorbing vitamin D that’s a really big point so the question is why I know why okay but go ahead I know this one okay so why why would someone not absorb vitamin D because they don’t have the K oh she does know that I watched your video she does know probably just that one video okay goo
