All supplements lack most of the balancing nutrients, especially bioactive enzymes. If all are not present, the body leaches nutrients from its own supply (if it can afford to). Supplements create a balance/depletion see-saw effect. Many people who regularly consumed iron supplements had iron deposits somewhere in their systems. The worst deposits appeared as rust spots in Iridology. Almost all mega-dose-Vitamin C takers suffered irritability, psychological problems and frequent hunger - sometimes compulsive - for ice cream, chocolate and/or other rich foods. This is because supplemental Vitamin C is spiky, like glass, irritating blood and nerve cells. It depletes fat from the blood and makes the blood highly acidic. https://files.catbox.moe/m4hjjg.jpg <- A pretty clear photo of how different for e.g. Ascorbic acid is to vitamin c found from food Isolated ascorbic acid, whether used as a preservative or “Vitamin C” supplement, robs the blood of fat, causing nerve lesions throughout the body, including the brain and spinal cord. All vitamin supplements are merely portions of the vitamin, like bran is to a grain. They are not what we are led to believe they are and will not do what we believe they will do. Supplements are always drugs and not food, even if they are derived from food. Extraction-processes alter nutrients and poison them. Once a nutrient is isolated from its bioactive form and extracted, it is no longer bioactive. If it is not in food form, it is not raw or bioactive. Pill, powder and liquid supplements are only 2-12% utilizable, and are 88-98% waste that will be isolated and eliminated, leeching and usurping our bodies' innate vital nutrients.
