Vitamins

-

This post is for the kids...or adults who act like kids, just kidding. Let's talk vitamins. I think everyone prefers gummies, but usually they are full of artificial colors and dyes. 

Typical Vitamin Gummies: 

Here's where my new favorite product comes in. 

Ilama Naturals Gummies - both for adults and kids with cherry and strawberry flavor. They are completely made with organic fruits & veggies. Free from all artificial colors and flavors and provide your daily nutritional needs. 


But, why do we need vitamin supplementation? Dr. Mark Hyman, MD, writes a good summary of the top reasons we need vitamins, all because we are nutrient depleted. 

"1. Processed factory-made foods have no nutrients 

2. The total burden of environmental toxins, lack of sunlight, and chronic stress leads to higher nutrient needs.

3. We evolved eating wild foods that contained dramatically higher levels of all vitamins, minerals, and essential fats.

4. Because of depleted soils, industrial farming, and hybridization techniques, the animals and vegetables we eat have fewer nutrients.

These are among the reasons why everyone, at the very least,needs a good multivitamin, fish oil, and vitamin D. I also recommend probiotics because modern life, diet, and antibiotics, as well as other drugs, damage our gut ecosystem, which is so important in keeping us healthy and thin."

Ilama Naturals also has Vitamin D, probiotics and elderberry products. 

What's even better? Easy to find & buy --> they're sold on Amazon, Thrive Market, iHerb!
