HOSTS: Dr. T and Jennifer Sparks

Today, on this episode of Nutritional Wellness For You with Dr. T, he and his co-host Jen talk about the importance of vitamins and minerals in your daily regimen.

There are several categories of vitamins including Fractionated Vitamins, Synthetic Vitamins, vitamins made of oxides and whole food vitamins.Whole Food vitamins are helpful because as a nation, we are malnourished, a quarter of people eating at fast food restaurants each day, relying on prepacked meals and too few fruits and vegetables.Whole Food supplements can fill that nutritional gap as they are actual food bound up in pill form.

Often, vitamins that are over the counter are filled with chemicals and unnecessary ingredients that can do more harm than good.

Additionally, Dr. T talks about quality over quantity stating that you cannot make up that gap in your diet by taking too many vitamins.You need to begin with whole foods and whole food supplements. There are several ways you can know if your supplements are made from chemicals or food based.

Look at the labels, check your daily percentage values to ensure the numbers aren’t inflated and look to make sure the product is not trademarked. Dr. T offers his services to you for nutritional guidance and overall wellness.

He will guide you through your personalized journey after studying your blood work and specific needs. Call him at 818-356-3606 or go to nutritionalwellnessforyou.com
