Natural Vitamins & Minerals (Nutrients)

Hello people, did you know that vitamin and mineral supplements from a bottle simply can’t be compared with all the biologically active compounds found in natural products?

Below are the sources you can get your vitamins and minerals from:

Iron – meat, poultry, fish, and beans

Vitamin A — carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach, kale

Vitamin B12 — meat, poultry, fish

Vitamin E — nuts, seeds, vegetable oils

Fiber – brown rice, barley, oats, nuts, beans and lentils, apples, blueberries, carrots.

Now that you know, what are you waiting for? Make sure you stock up on fresh fruits and veggies and do not rely solely on pills!

Of course I know that many people do not get enough nutrients from their diet alone. Research even shows that over half of the U.S population take synthetic nutrients like multivitamins. Please follow your primary care provider’s recommendations regarding the use of supplements such as multivitamins, calcium, and vitamin D. A lot of our seniors are deficient in vitamin D and have low bone density and are advised to take OTC supplements.
