There is a huge problem with many large supplement companies promoting their so called natural vitamins and nutrients when they are in fact anything but natural and are in fact dangerous synthetic versions of these nutrients. Now don’t get confused natural wholefood vitamins and nutrients have been proven to lower disease and promote health but the synthetic versions have been shown to increase instances of certain diseases such as heart and cardiovascular diseases, cancer and even shown to increase the risk of death. Certain vitamins are worse than others such as vitamin C, vitamin E and vitamin A promoted which are all found on store shelves and even are being labelled as natural.


The dangers of synthetic vitamin C


Nearly all vitamin C supplements are synthetic and are listed as ascorbic acid and are an unnaturally high dose such as 500mg to 1000mg per serving which is impossible to get into a capsule as a food supplement, A natural supplement will have 100-150mg per serving and will be listed as vitamin C and not as ascorbic acid.


A study shown to the American Heart Association showed a link between taking only 500mg of vitamin C per day and a greater tendency toward thickening of the arteries (Los Angeles Times, March 3, 2000).




A more recent study showed athletes taking 1000mg of vitamin C per day showed reduced endurance capacity from interference with antioxidant enzymes (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Jan 2008).


The Dangers of vitamin E

Vitamin E supplements called d-alpha tocopherol, This apparently natural vitamin E is common in many other supplements. However, even though this vitamin E is a natural form, it is very unnatural for two reasons. First, it’s in an isolated form without the rest of the naturally-occurring vitamin E complex. In wholefoods alpha tocopherol exists with seven other vitamin E compounds: three other tocopherols and four tocotrienols.

Secondly supplements of alpha tocopherol are unnaturally high

“The Heart Outcomes Prevention and Evaluation study reported greater all-cause death with isolated Vitamin E.” N. Eng. J. Med. 2,000; 342(3): 154-160

A research study conducted in March of 2009 showed that “taking synthetic Vitamin C and synthetic Vitamin E actually blocked the beneficial effects of exercise in terms of insulin sensitivity and antioxidant activity.” PNAS, published ahead of print May 11, 2009. “Subjects who received naturally occurring Vitamin C and Vitamin E from consuming fruits and plants did not have this problem.”

When purchasing vitamin E product make sure there natural and contain all the four tocopherols and four tocopherols


The truth about B vitamins

Almost all B vitamins are synthetic and most people would be none the wiser and the dose is not a good indicator however they are usually listed as one of their synthetic names such as folic acid. Natural b vitamins are referred to as active b vitamins and below I will outline the synthetic names beside the natural ones


Thiamine (B1): Thiamine pyrophosphate; Thiamine triphosphate
Niacin (B3): Nicotinamide (adenine dinucleotide)
Pantothenic acid (B5): Pantethine
Pyridoxine (B6): Pyridoxal-5-phosphate
Folic acid: Folinic acid; 5-methyl tetrahydrofolate
Cobalamin (B12): Methylcobalamin; Adenosylcobalamin
Choline: Phosphatydlcholine


In summary always read the label and do your due diligence, because even though the packaging may say natural it probably isn’t so

Hi guys today I’m going to highlight some points as to why everybody needs to de-stress their lives not to just save their sanity but also to save some of the physical damages stress has on and in your body.

 Modern humans are not biologically meant to deal with how much stress is placed on their bodies and minds every day, we evolved over hundreds and thousands of years to become what we are today and this 9 to 5 job is not natural per se it is completely unnatural travelling in a car sometimes taking 2 hours sitting in traffic then sitting in a cubicle or repetitively lifting all day these kind of jobs cause all sorts of physical and mental stresses on our bodies which then leads to all these kinds of diseases of modern civilisation such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, chronic pain in parts of the body due to repetitive jobs etc.

You see humans evolved with a fight or flight or rest and digest parasympathetic systems, they lived a hunter gatherer lifestyle, waking from sunlight then hunting and gathering there food then resting and digesting the food they caught or foraged for and stress would be caused by maybe an animal attacking them but there periods of stress where very brief where as humans today are always under some kind of stress which leads to high levels of inflammation in the body which if left unchecked can cause a whole host of diseases and problems such as high blood pressure, anxiety disorders and eating disorders causing obesity and type 2 diabetes. I’m going to present some of the strategy’s I use to deal with the stresses of modern day life to hopefully help you live more happy lives.

Meditation: I know everyone’s heard it before but it really does work wonders for coping with stress just setting even 5 minutes aside to meditate in complete silence calms me like nothing else. Now I started meditating by using an app called CALM which is great for learning the basics of meditation, now I do classes twice or three times a week and meditate at least 30 minutes a day. I highly suggest everyone ty meditation for stress you will see the benefits quite quickly.
Music: Another thing I started doing was just sticking my earphones in my ears and veg’ing out to my favourite music this little de-stressing trick works wonders for calming me down when things get to tense


  • Start a hobby: taking up a hobby is a wonderful way to relieve your body and mind of stress, my personal hobbies are working out and doing martial arts this just takes my mind off the things that are stressing me out, there are thousands of different hobbies you can take up so do one you love because a happy mind is a healthy mind


  • Diet: Let’s face it most people think they eat a healthy diet but they don’t, simple things like cutting out crappy processed foods and eating more fruits,vegetables and healthy cuts of meat will definitely help you de-stress by getting more vitamins and minerals in their diets that are so important for maintaining a healthy body and mind.


  • Adaptogenic herbs: Now I know it seems like a sales pitch but including one or even a few adaptogens that can help your body handle stress, the one I started with was Shilajit resin which really helped me not just with stress but lots of other problems I was having in addition to that I also take Pine pollen powder and chaga two very powerful adaptogens but there are plenty more adaptogens like rhodiola rosea,ginseng, eleuthero and the list goes on give one or few a try and reduce your stress levels


 I hope these tips and tricks can help you reduce the stress in your life and be sure to comment things that help you with stress and share this article with people you think might need to de-stress their lives.
