Not All Supplements are Created Equal. There are more supplements available than I would care to count and keep track of. So what is
biggest difference between all different supplements? In my world you can divide all supplements into two categories: 1. Whole Food Supplements 2. Chemically Manufactured SupplementsIf you follow along with supplement news you will know that they are always discovering a new vitamin, a new cofactor, a new mineral, a new this or that. Now let me ask you a question, is it really "new" or did man just discover it. Of course, man has just discovered importance of it.
Nature is great. She provides everything we need in nature. Or said another way, these new vitamins, minerals, cofactors and other newly discovered essential minerals are already found in nature in whole foods. Even if we don't know about them yet nature has always had them in our food. So when whole food supplements are made they already have and have always had all these newly discovered ingredients. Now let me ask you a question. If we as humans just discovered something, do you think chemically manufactured supplements have this newly discovered thing in it? NOPE! The only place to get all cofactors, minerals and essential nutrients before we know about them is whole food supplements.
A perfect example is Vitamin C. Everyone says vitamin c is same thing as ascorbic acid. That is like saying an egg shell is same things as an entire egg. They are completely different. Ascorbic acid is only "shell" around what is rest of Vitamin C. But when most people manufacture Vitamin C, they just manufacture shell or what is ascorbic acid. Whole foods have then entire "inside" of every nutrient whole foods supplements are supplying.
