I have used supplements for decades to great effect. However, I believe about 80% of all supplements are BS...just a guess. I have limited myself to a very few supplement companies, most notably Life Extension whose supplements have always proven to be first rate and they back it up with real science.

I stopped using Life extension a year before lockdown
They were putting silica in one & it upset my stomach. Pure encapsulation brand now. I’m very weak in autoimmune system from cirs and mold illness. I take extra olive leaf for the “shedding “that seemingly never ends.
I was using Pure Encapsulations as well, but they have been bought out by Nestle so I've been using up what I have and will review it further. It's so exasperating.
So as much as people can say eat better, I already eat great but we still have to rely on quality supplements to enhance what we need. I have asthma and have used vitamin c supplements for years. There is no way I can eat the amount of food to get me the dose I need in vitamin C.
Same here! & I’m gluten free, non gmo , Apeel makes me burp for hours. Every time I go shopping, another company has cheapened their products to keep the cost down. My favorite chocolate covered almonds was the most recent one.
Please stay away from Apeel and Organipeel!!! I trust nothing out of Gates! I eat organic and nongmo for anything I can’t buy organic. But one thing I learned about nongmo to be careful about. It still has pesticides and you really want to eat organic grain and flour products. The worst thing is how conventional wheat is being processed in the U.S. They now harvest it with glyphosate to dry it faster. Well we know you can’t take that out. Plus nongmo corn likely has pesticides so I recommend organic corn products unless you buy from farmers you know. I think a lot of people are avoiding gluten when the issue now because of all the pesticides they are using to harvest it. Who ever expected the US to be the worst in the food industry!! It’s just diabolical.
I believe my leaky gut and “ gluten intolerance “ is actually a glyphosate allergy. I asked the allergist if they had a test ( years ago) & got a blank stare.
Holy smokes. Thanks for this link. Was never sure gluten was the real issue here (not a celiac sprue) but instead the grain THEY tinkered with genetically starting after the war. Only took 40some years to figure out the culprit for what ailed me. 🙄Thought I would have to travel to that Greek island (forget the name right now) that has produced the same grain since antiquity to sample bread again. Think mebbee I'll give these products a shot. Fingers crossed🤞
*edit - "Like" button not working. Still. Couple o' weeks now...
I haven’t ordered yet. Going in with a friend because of the shipping charges. I’m going to order mostly gluten free( oats , corn ) definitely going to try some of the wheat grain too
I’ve been modifying many of the supplements I take as so many companies have been bought out by Big Pharma or other corporations who have done questionable things! It’s so frustrating as I have been doing this almost 30 years and now the companies we trusted are being bought out. Although some of the prior owners have said they will stay involved, there is only so much these companies will let them do. Life Extension is one I am impressed with all the way around. They offer so much more than just supplements. It’s a well rounded company!

Yep. This whole vitamin thing as another conspiracy is exhausting.
But worth a hard look.
Oh no! Thanks for the heads up. Crushing!
I can tell they help when I skip a few days. They have blends I can’t find elsewhere!

I don't get it. My like button has not worked on my laptop for weeks but works fine on my phone. BUT all the other buttons work.

This is another good source I use: https://jovialfoods.com/. Their Einkorn flour is organic and an ancient grain. I’ve used it for years with no problems: https://jovialfoods.com/what-is-einkorn/.
Thanks
Great link.
Exactly right.
