For a few years now that I have been seeking advice from nutritionists and doctors on the subject of vitamins, but none could provide a safe and convincing explanation that really helps. But one thing I discovered about vitamins is that if you take too much, you’ll end up with something known as expensive urine.
The reason I said you would make expensive urine is your body absorbs about 15% from a vitamin supplement, assuming you don’t have a deficiency for a particular nutrient. The rest is excreted in your urine.
Your body can absorb around 10 to 15% of the nutrients in a vitamin pill. The rest goes down the toilet as urine. So for every $10.00 you spend on supplements, you could be flushing $8.50 down the toilet. Your money would be better spent on food. The human body prefers to take a food, break it down and take the nutrients it needs. Remember that you are dealing with a cave person’s body. I think you are depending too heavily on the supplement and not giving enough credit to the nutrients in your food.
So what about people who take in multivitamin pills on a daily basis? Does it make multivitamins helpful or excessive? This all...
