Multivitamin Research: Should You Be Taking Them?- Thomas DeLauer… I'm hoping that with this video I can save you some serious money and I know that sounds funny, but I'm talking about your multivitamins. I'm talking about potentially ditching your multivitamins, if you're not someone that actually needs it. This video came to light simply because a lot of people that have talked to and a lot of people that I've worked with, have had a very, very hard time letting go of their multivitamins.
They take these multivitamins and they see them as their crutch. They see them as the end all be all and their link to healthy eating or the void fill from the nutrients that they're missing from their food. But the reality is there's a lot more to just popping a multivitamin and getting your vitamins and minerals in. So first off what I want to look at is the fact that 50% of Americans take a multivitamin.
That is a lot, a lot of people that are misled. A lot of people are leading themselves to believe that they're getting all their vitamins and minerals and getting what they need from a simple pill. Also in reality, we have to look at how much money is being spent. We're talking like $11 billion dollars that people are spending on multivitamins. That's a lot of money.
Okay, so let's talk about what is happening with a multivitamin and why it may not be the best thing for you. I'm not discounting it. I'm not saying that everyone should avoid taking a multivitamin. There are some subcategories of people that might want to take them, but I want to talk about some reality when it comes down to just popping that pill.
First thing I want to look at is too many nutrients, okay? The simple thing is we have to look at this. If our bodies have the ability to take in all these minerals and all of these vitamins at once, don't you think there would be a food out there that truly encompasses all of them?
You see, normally we have to eat different subcategories of foods to ultimately make up our nutrients. Now, if it was so easy as just popping a pill, I think that a lot more people would be really, truly healthy and if it was really possible to absorb all those vitamins and minerals at once, I think we'd have some foods that contain all those vitamins and minerals. We have to remember that we require specific enzymatic functions to truly synthesize and utilize different vitamins, minerals, and metals within the body. Each vitamin that we take in each mineral that we take in has a different process to actually being utilized and if we take them all in at once, we're not really allowing the body to do that efficiently.
You're much better off knowing what is going to work for you and isolating specific vitamins and specific minerals for your type, for your bio individuality. So the thing we have to look at with multivitamins and we have this constant competition going on. Okay? We have constant competition of different minerals that sometimes need to be elevated and sometimes need to be lower, but we also have way too much of specific minerals.

isn't it sad how important proper nutrition is, yet it's not taught in public schools as much as math or science?
Not really... everyone doesn’t agree that you should or shouldn’t take multi vitamins, but everyone can agree 2+2=4 so they teach math
@Ruka Ruka science also disagrees about proper nutrition and it's very individualized, so not easy. They don't have a generalized paradigm. But they certainly can still teach much of it
Virtual Vendetta are you stupid? Not everyone agrees with geometry but yet you see people learning it
Austin I’d say you’re stupid if you don’t agree with geometry. There’s nothing to disagree on.
Rickster Music I’m saying agreeing learning geometry
Everything is so confusing. Don't know who or what to believe.
Even on coffee, salt, eggs, we can't agree. Not even closely
No body ever
@@contrarian717 literally every year I read a so called end all be all study contradicting the safety or importance of every single food you listed smh 🤦🏾♂️ it's enough to make you give up
Balance is the key. Stay away from man made simple as.
@@mecca3000 yeah to me, testimonials of older people, centenarians say more than experts and studies. The more I read, and all the opposing views, the more I come to the conclusion...we don't really know
I have been taking a shit load of vitamins individual and multi since the 80's. I'm 56 yo and so much more healthier than my friends, family colleagues etc. I dont believe food today has the nutrients we all need. Studies show some areas where oranges have no VitC in them. Scary! Anyway I don't care if I make iHerb rich. Health is better than Wealth. Update: 10 years ago diagnosed with Prostate cancer via 2 x biopsies. Last week had another Biopsy. Result, cancer could not be found in any sample. Amazing results from dropping 40 pills a day of Vitamins and Herbs all related to each part of your body, building immunity and creating killer T cells.
Bingo.
There you go. People spend more money on alcohol. Why wouldn’t I want to spend MY money on vitamins? You can’t have too many nutrients if our foods today don’t have much nutrients to begin with. But that’s just me.
Yogesh singh That's your incorrect opinion Bro, you know nothing about me and make stupid assumptions based on a few lines I wrote. I'm a horticulturist and naturopath so know what is in all foods. Don't believe everything you read and see. Thomas is a very smart man but some studies he refers to can be read different ways and manipulated depending on what you set out to achieve from the study. Eat your broccoli I'm sure you will be fine.
THEY WORK! MY BLOODWORK SHOWED ME THAT PERIOD!!!!
Hey. I'm 58. And don't look it btw. It's all due to a regimented life style. No sugar. No gluten. No dairy. Lots of supplements. Caloric restriction and intermittent fasting. I've been doing it since I was in my thirties when all my peers were gobbling up pizza, downing beers and eating all the wrong kinds of foods. Now their joints hurt, they can't work out, their bellies are flabby and protruding and their skin looks horrible. Oh and their brains are feeble and they are unable to keep up with the trends.
And me? I feel great. And I don't hang with them because they can't keep up.
In fact, most people I talk to and can relate to are in their twenties or thirties.
Guys my age are like. Huh? when I talk about something and I'm like, go away and talk with a sixty year old or something.
So it's not only vitamins but a combination of a lot of supplements and knowing what works and in what combination things need to be taken. And it's not something you learn in a day or two. It took years for me and I still experiment to find what works best for me and keeps me at the top of my game.
I take about 8 different vitamins for the past 6 months. They work. I was always told multi’s are not good enough. I see a big difference and feel it as well. Along with a healthy diet and strength training at 39 I feel like a machine.
Do u take the additional vitamins with a multivitamin? Or scratched the multi
@@sallifrolix there is not enough and for that matter not enough quality ingredients of each vitamin to be even worth it. Lots of fillers or very little to even work long term.
Don’t bother with Multi’s. Take a look at you nutrition and see what you are missing or want to add. Getting it from food is #1 but the rest supplement.
@@Limit5482 so what exactly are u taking? I guess its zinc, magnesium, d3, but other?
He spoke in a realistic manner that’s educational and not even once sold you anything but clarity thanks man
This is what I struggle with, first of all I don't eat a perfect whole foods diet, I just don't, yes I know that is the best way but to tell you the truth with so many different "truths" out there it gets difficult to know what is actual and what is not. Is Keto the way to go, do Beans and Lectins kill you, is grass fed beef the answer or the problem. I have always looked at a multivitamin/mineral pack as the insurance or gap filler like he said. I don't mind pissing out the extras even though that is a waste if it means that I am "topped off" on everything I do need. The other thing is what about the depletion of minerals and vitamins in the food we eat due to soil depletion, I read something like spinach is 100 times less healthy than it used to be due to this. Even organic.
Does anyone else struggle with knowing what to do?
Sean Wait All the time. For every reasonable point someone makes it seems a counter point can always be made.
Yes I struggle too. The only way I feel is to get the best doctors & get lots of expensive tests for any possible thing wrong with our health
Sean Wait id go with micro greens and herbs like "miranga" which packs stacks of vit and min against any fruit or veg. Look it up
Sean Wait I don't know why Thomas rarely uses scientific literature to back up his advice but let me do it for him. A big review by john hopkins found that there is no benefit to taking a multi vitamin. Some components of multi vitamins were actually harmful. The exception is women of child bearing age, they're strongly recommended to take a folic acid supplement. www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/healthy_aging/healthy_body/is-there-really-any-benefit-to-multivitamins
So to answer your question, although taking the multi vitamin makes you feel better because you think it's a safety net of sorts, it doesn't actually do anything
And yet I have seen numerous reports that dispute that as well, studies on vitamin C, studies on B vitamins, studies on magnesium, there are studies out there supporting and disputing everything. Studies that say creatine triggers cancer and studies that say it is the safest supplement out there with proper hydration. Thats the hard part, for every study you can provide there are 5 out there saying something different depending on what population/demographic, who is funding the study, etc etc. I just watched a documentary that studied all of the counties in China and it showed that animal protein is one of the worst things that there is, and yet studies and proponents that say grass finished beef provides great nutritional benefits and an amino acid that plants dont provide.
I also just looked at that report you mentioned, it also quotes one of the researchers as saying this "Low-fat dairy and whole grains. “Low-fat or fat-free milk and yogurt provide calcium, magnesium, potassium and other nutrients,” he says. “I have cereal with milk for breakfast a few times a week. And I have yogurt sometimes too.” These are the people writing that report.
So as I understand from the Keto thoughts, low fat is actually not good and grains, especially whole grains, are totally not necessary for the human body,
I just got sucked into a 2 hour marathon of back to back auto-playing Thomas DeLauer videos. I feel like I've gained 2 years of keto and muscle building knowledge.
Then why you recommend them in your program?

Can you point that video out, I'd like to see it.

Individual vitamins, not multi...

Maybe they don’t “make you healthier” or “prolong life”..... but who cares, they give me lots of energy when I can’t eat perfect every day.
Yup they work
Yeah including when veggies are a lot of more expensive
Lol yeah, you take multivitamins and all of a sudden you get a lot of energy 😂 the placebo effect
100% placebo effect.
@@felipefranca6668 wrong
I take vitamin D3, vitamin, k2, magnesium oil spray, iodine and turmeric as well as a probiotic. These make a difference to how I feel for sure.
Same pinch dear..!!
What brand do you use>>?
@Raquel Toledo you have to cycle l.....you don't want your body to get used to it...
Smart one ! U need vitamin c for the D to activate and vice versa.
👍
The problem is our soils depleted decades ago and you get barely anything from even organic foods.
Exactly!!!
Many people don't understand this.
The soils aren't depleted. The overuse of herbicides & pesticides have killed the soil biome that makes the minerals bioavailable to plants.
@@rangerdoc1029 That makes sense, sadly.
@shmokey shmokey so both are probably true, the soil is damaged, destroyed from all the shit we spray onto it and it is also depleted :(
So you would think people taking vitamins live longer. But they don’t.
Hey Thomas, more than anything I would love to hear your thoughts on the Keto diet with Type 1 Diabetes. So much of the Keto diet revolves around insulin, but because my pancreas doesn't function, I don't produce insulin at all. I still have to inject it when I eat carbs, but not having to worry about my own body producing it would lead me to assume going into ketogenesis is easier for me. Would I be wrong in thinking that?
Overall, hearing your thoughts on the keto diet with Type 1 diabetes would be amazing!
Thanks for all the great videos! I recently found your channel and binged loads! I recently lost 95 pounds but plateaued, and I'm now wanting to start the keto diet to keep going! Thanks for all the education!
You can't do KETO with Type 1 Diabetes. That's insane to do so
+TELEVISIONARCHIVES Wrong.
Lockstin & Gnoggin there are actually some drs discussing this very matter. You can do it but need to be supported by a healthcare practitioners as you will need to reduce your injected insulin as you reduce carbs. Try Keto Doctor and Dr Berg for further info too
People who do keto have already stopped listening to bullshitters whose statements are based on either an observational study "aka cheap study" or just an opinion! Go get yourself some facts and quit misleading people!
Woooaaahhh! I didn't know one of my favourite UA-camr watches another of my favourite UA-camr.
This video is one of the most enlightening ones I have seen. I didn't realise how much one vitamin impacts others & it makes sense, if we were meant to have all the vitamins we need in one go there would be foods containing that. I feel like I have had an epiphany this morning!
Umm, no - don't 'just trust' anyone ... everyone has motives/stands to gain from you in some way, and professional UA-camrs are no exception ... obviously ... 😏
Multivitamin disadvantage summary:
-Too much iron
-Too much calcium
-Not perfect absorption
-Extra load on kidney and liver when they're excreted
-Possibly contains toxic synthetic low quality vitamin
If you take the wrong one, yes.
@@maxmat2874 Rainbow Light Men's One. It's a food based multivitamin. Amazing Stuff..!!
@@keshavduttaa Thanks!
@@chrissc-hit3311 where do you get your info from?
@@texanboiii562 saying something is toxic without giving the dose means you're likely just regurgitating health guru rhetoric. cyanide is toxic sure, in a certain dose. same with water, gluten, weed, salt, etc. that's why mercury in vaccines don't kill you, that's why you don't OD on protein every time you eat a steak. moderation is key.
“All the multivitamins have a lot of iron” one a day men has literally zero iron.
Brady Ross right. And most 50+ multivitamins have zero iron as well.
Yes most vitamins for men have no iron
I thought cause men usually don't need as much iron because we have have dont menstrual cycles,like they recommend we give blood occasionally to actually lower it
Centrum has iron in it
Well, Thomas i do like your videos and ideeas but! Soil is not that rich anymore like back in the days, so those nutrients from books may have a lower, lower % than we are used to read. You can take multi without Iron you know. Truth is somewhere in the middle.
Eh? Nutrients from books not what we used to read, I thought we was talking about food 🤔😂
I have had great response from Vitamins. However I also workout, eat, and live extremely athletically.
You cant live athletically lmao
I feel this is true. As long as you have some sort of food.
How can you quantify that response?.. Stop taking vitamins, you won't notice the difference.
This is a highly important topic and I'm glad you addressed it. The quality of supplements and dosing matters. I study biochemical nutritions for genetic conditions, addiction recovery, and brain health like neurotransmitters. I think step one is understanding your biochemistry. Your highlight on individual nutrients is key too. It's never as simple as taking a multivitamin.
Please make more videos on which supplements are worth buying and such
I took high quality organic wholefood multivitamins all my life and never made sense why i was always exhausted. I have stopped taking them and feel way better. Perhaps it was having a toxic effect on my body
Edward Fernandez maybe consumed too much of it
Yes,I always feel tired as well. I will lay off OF them
This makes so much sense, they do interfere with each other so I always wondered how they can be in 1 pill. I’d say the most important are vitamin D3 + k and vitamin b complex . Then eat a balanced diet to get the rest . ultimately getting your levels tested would be best then u can supplement the ones you lack . Plus if multivitamins worked efficiently they would be expensive as hell ! I am definitely not buying a multivitamin , I was going to be lazy but I’ll stick to individual ones .
I have been saying this for years to my wife. She eats ok, takes a multi as well as calcium, iron, and a host of others. I guess the only thing good about her daily dose is she doesn't do it daily. Very much on and off...so nothing seems to have a chance to build up...I hope. I eat well following Keto and IF since Dec. have dropped 60 pounds, come off of all Rx (cholesterol and statins), BP is great and I have more energy at 60 then I did at 40. Still very much a work in progress. I know I don't eat enough veggies, so I take separate vit/min. targeting certain things. So far so good, I adjust as I feel a need. I stopped trying to guide my wife as we know that doesn't woke on people who don't want to listen, instead I simply keep going and at some point she will have to accept what is in front of her with the proof of how I have transformed. The best part is the constant supply of cloths being donated to shelters.....every couple months I have to give up and just get new stuff. It's a good thing for me and for others.

Hahahahahah, you're right
Lol..good observation
Right on

Do what works for you... We all individuals and do not have same body..... It's really tuff to get every vitamin.... My focus is boosting testosterone.... Zinc..magnesium..potassium....boron
Do you take a zma supplement?
Great video. People seem to be missing the point. Blood tests can show which vitamins/nutrients you need most and which you don`t. I was able to fix pholic acid-homocysteine, magnesium, vitamin D imbalances with targeted natural supplements (vitamin D, pholic acid and magnesium) for just 2 months and targeted food for the rest of the time. Target your imbalance and fix it. Don`t just gulp whatever cocktail is out there for sale. Furthermore, many supplements don`t have the vitamins in a "ready to be absorbed" form, meaning you get to absorb only an amount of what you ingest.
I take vitamin D, fish oil, tumeric, probiotics, magnesium, zinc, blueberry extract, rhodiola, and along with intermittent fasting. This is what works for me.
YOu do take all of that during your eating window?
Well... then you should look at the interaction of zinc with copper and iron. Or it stops working quite quickly
What’s rhodiola
Why blueberry extract?
nice, I do too. Most of the things you listed actually have good research behind them
Sometimes when you work out of town, your preparations for food is limited, what then?
7:30 “Stop just trusting whatever’s on the internet, except for me, you can trust me.” Yeah, that’s what they all say. 😳
626 SGV Shotgun Oh, haha, funny 😬
I'd like to see videos in the future about the following: 1) The effects of common ingredients in "thermogenic fat burners" on fasting. Are they breaking it? Hurting it? Helping it? A complete waste of time even? Then there's the fact that some of them are small lists of ingredients, but then you've got something like animal cuts with more going on in it than you could shake a stick at that makes me want to break my fasting drink down to some electrolytes and caffeine in water.
2) We hear about the benefits of fasting all the time. And not just intermittent fasting, but the longer ones as well. You've got a great video on what to eat before a fast, how to break a fast, the benefits of fasting for various periods of time, but WHEN is a good time to start or a 24-48 hour fast in relation to having completed high intensity workouts? Is the nutrition of the day and the rest that night sufficient, does it need to carry over into the next day, etc
Really, your body will use what it gets and excrete what it doesn't need. I use a multi as a blanket to cover the missing links. I have a shit diet. That's like saying you could never gain weight eating one meal a day because it can absorb it... trust me, your body will absorb what it needs
The body pees off the water soluble vitamins (B vits and C) and stores the fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K).
I know that this is true. We had great diets as kids (no snacking and no junk in our house at all) It's true that food is not as healthy today but you nailed it: People in developed country's want an easy pill. Let's face it, staying healthy and truly knowing your body is a LOT of work and not for the lazy. I take a lot of foods instead of vitamins: spirulina/chlorella/triphalga/shilijit/pollen/active honey/maca/cacao/I go in the sun for vit D...the list goes on and on. Work. Thanks for the video
I agree about just using specific vitamins.. if you're deficient. It works for me. Multivitamin could be good for some but I'm no expert.
If iron ions are oxidised, then whatever causes the oxidation is, in turn, reduced. Red blood cells have their colour due to the complexed iron ions in the haem molecule..."just saying.
In order to know what minerals and individual is lacking they would have to visit the doctor often for blood test. More frequent doctors visits to dial in on what mineral your body needs more or less is not realistic.
I’m just trying to pop vitamins not drugs
David Diaz why not both?
Amen!!!
Great as ever...Always something new that has never been heard off.
Minecraft Madness950 glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!!
I take Glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM all individually. But are there foods that I can eat more of to gain the same effect. I have arthritis in both hips and a non union scaphoid bone in my wrist. If there are no foods that I can eat instead of said above tablets, what and where can I buy the best quality supplements from? And what is the max I can take each day?
You can listen(hear them out) to people on the internet, but use your own judgement from your own experiences and be your own person. This guy only gets his information from other people and any so called "study" can be bias. I've been heard about the vitamin thing a long time ago, and today I take multivitamins and am jacked, never sick and feeling well. Besides, most food out there today is not even real food.
Can you do a video on the effect of a ketogenic lifestyle specifically on fertility?
Yes I'm so glad you did a video on this, I've had this question forever!
me too
Can you do a video on when to take minerals? It seems magnesium is better taken later in the day as opposed to calcium. That's what I got from this video.
Tennis Hill, magnesium is dam good mineral stick with it because it has a boat load of benefits!!!! It's good for your muscles, colon, brain, teeth, blood and it gives you alot of energy!!!!
Magnesium and calcium go together. Also zinc and copper go together. I wouldnt take calcium unless you get a hair mineral test.
@@justincarrillo12626 I to magnesium citrate twice a month to cleanse out my system!! Buttttttt I also to coral calcium (the vitamin shoppe brand) every night because it is great for tooth health and weight loss!! It has alot of other benefits and is needed in everyone's system 😀
the only Multivitamin i have tired are GNC mega men and ON Opti-men they are somewhat the same kinda vitamin pack with extra stuff like saw palmetto and black pepper extract...i would and have always loved taking Opit-men i know when i'm taking it and how it makes me feel but i never take 3 pills a day like the bottle says to i just stick to one in the morning and afternoon...i spend most of my money on powder and real food when i'm training hard
i used mega man a decade ago, didnt arouse even a little bit of positive effect, total snake oil with high fame for an unknown retarded reason. Then used my gf's amway multi-v and surprisingly worked like charm. But among all best vit source is absolutely veggies, eat a cup in the morning with some eggs and youll feel alive whole day.
Im using the gnc. Did you saw any result?
Not in comparison to Opti-men and when you say results what are you looking to achieve with a multivitamin? i only took them in helping to build muscle and lose a little weight in hopes that it aided with a few vitamin deficiencies if any
Hello Thomas,
Shaky fingers or hands is the sign of deficiency of any type of vitamins?
What do you think of cast iron skillets? I love cooking with mine. Is it bad?
whydoyoucare27 it's terrible for ya lol
The 2 best cookware type to use is ceramic and case iron, then steel without nickel.
Traditionally in India we have been cooking in cast iron skillets. That has now given way to all the non stick cookware that has flooded the market. But bringing the iron skillet back is a great move here too.
What about the "as seen on TV" copper skillet? Easy to clean, no Teflon and works great. I really like mine. I also have a "as seen on tv" stoneware microwave omelette maker. I have to cook 2 helpings in it separately, but I love that thing. ***( I don't work for or affiliated with "as seen on tv".)
Apparently you don't absorb that much iron from cast iron as the process of seasoning a cast iron pan seals the surface and makes it a bit non stick.
I don't take multi vitamins but am confused on when to take magnesium, calcium and D3 with K2. One cancels other but also helps absorb better. Very confused. One is best to take in morning but taking the other with ones for morning is best to take at night. Lol. As u can tell, I'm confused.
Question for a future video:
I’ve had an amazing first 90 days on keto and Intermittent Fasting, down 92 lbs. My question is about supplementation and breaking fast because of it. Are there supplements like collagen or fish oil that break the fast?
Taking Apple Cider Vinegar , Collagen protein, MCT oil, Magnesium , Omega 3 fish oil, Vitamin d3. How does timing of these minerals effect the fast, or some should only be taken during my eating window?
Jason Bjerke Hi Jason, great results! Thomas talks about this on one of his videos about IF. Oils (MCT, Omega 3) definitely break your fast. In fact, Thomas recommends breaking a fast while on a ketogenic diet for weight loss with MCT Oil then waiting 45 minutes to an hour before having a normal meal:
How to break your Fast for these 3 typical scenarios:
1. General health and longevity - bone broth
2. Fasting for fat loss - break your fast with MCT oil
3. Breaking your fast for muscle growth - A quality high glycemic index food like rice cakes

Hope this helps and amazing results on your weight loss! Congratulations and keep up the amazing results!
Before I start, please keep in mind that what I'm about to say is merely my point of view. This particular subject is something I am highly invested in, which is why I'm such an advocate of fermentation, non-GMO foods, companion gardening (aka true organic food), permaculture, commercial organic foods, whole foods, pasture fed & finished animal products, and growing your own herbs & foods if, when & where possible. That in mind, I'd simply like to point out some things, provide feedback, and offer possible solutions because I find you to be a source of relative accurate & informative information and I truly do appreciate your time, dedication, enthusiasm, devotion and energy spent on creating these videos.
Firstly, it is important to recognize that there are multivitamins today that while not scientifically engineered for exactness are actually made from whole foods and can be taken in such a way as to optimize health as opposed to making the body work harder & less efficient. I get where you're coming from Thomas; between the two, multivitamins & natural foods, food truly is the best source of vitamins & minerals, even if much of it is mineral & vitamin depleted. Furthermore, why take a bunch of stuff if the body only needs one or two very specific things? Not only do I see the truth of what you're saying, it just so happens to agree with my own point of view. However, keeping in mind the importance of body/mind/emotion/spirit connection that determines overall health, due to the mental & emotional comfort some people find in taking a multivitamin, perhaps educating and encouraging them to better & healthier choices might be less discouraging and more helpful to your viewers.
Secondly, while I commend you on creating this video, the subject of whether or not to supplement with multivitamins is a vast & complex subject and simply cannot be covered with the thoroughness it requires in a 7-minute video, which explains the gaps in your explanation of certain things. For example, while I appreciate your thorough and accurate explanation of just how difficult it is for the body to process cyanocobalamin and why it's the poorest choice and is best avoided altogether, an equally thorough and accurate explanation of how methylcobalamin works and why it is the 'better' choice for people who do actually need B12 would be highly beneficial to your audience. Too, even though my point of view about iron supplementation is that there is a time and a place for iron supplementation & that not all iron supplementations are created equal, and while I concur of the excess iron in the body that does not show up in blood tests, which explains why many meat-eaters are also anemic, various potential solutions for ACCESSING those iron supplies would have incredibly beneficial to your viewers. Which brings me to my next point ... keeping in mind I do not know your long-term vision of this channel ... what about creating a 'series' of videos on one subject, such as you've done with the whole keto thing. For example, you could create an entire series on B12 - natural food sources vs supplementation as well as how to help the body better absorb these foods, (fermentation, food combining, etc). You could then link like-videos and cross-reference them as well as create specific playlists to make it easier for your viewers to follow. Of course this will require a lot more time, energy & effort, so that's something you'll also have to consider before choosing.
Finally, while I truly believe most of the vital nutrients in our food supplies have been diminished due to DNA tampering and massive commercial agriculture practices, I also believe many foods can be revitalized through ancient energy healing & ancient food preparation practices; it's just a matter of re-teaching people how to do that. Until then, and from a purely physiological perspective, I believe there will be times when certain bodies will need to rely on the use of multivitamins. Let's just hope people opt for healthier whole food varieties.
Why is calcium magnesium and zinc sold as one supplement? Must be something to it.
Bj Lucci I had this question too! I take it at night thinking it would be calming. It’s a blend of Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc and D3. Now I wonder what gives ?
I've been taking cod liver oil and glucosamine sulphate for years because I had some bladder and knee issues years back but I don't now, I think I'll just stop. I've felt much better benefits from diet change than introducing supplements.
A multivitamin is amazing. Before taking one I felt nausea back pain dizziness. I feel great now.
Well I definitely agree with him. He isn't telling us not to take multivitamins. He just wants us to be more aware of what vitamins we need instead of depending on a company and take their artificially made tablet. Sometimes we can't eat whole foods and in that case, that's alright but we should take only the multivitamins which have the vitamins we would be deficient on that day. Self experimentation takes more time but it is more rewarding nevertheless.
kale, spinach, nutritional yeast, wheat grass, mushrooms, sauerkraut etc that is where i get mine
yes eggs and other meats
yeah i know i eat it twice a weak
then youre probably rich as shit.
why would you think that? i do omad or 2 mad
still an expensive grocery list. twice a week grass-finished beef is kinda semi-luxury (: i too do omad but with some eggs, salad, and pasta. and when i do it with beef my bank account also gets mad :p
Great info thanks for the lesson on b-12.
I will say that I had been feeling weirdly sick on keto after about being 2 months in. This was although I had been in ketosis for quite a bit of time. (Blood ketone monitoring) and just a few days ago I decided to buy animal pak multivitamins. It says big pack with just tons of everything ever in them. I had a feeling that I was missing something in my diet and that this broad spectrum vitamin would help and sure enough I couldn't tell you which thing it was that I've been missing but I started taking that huge packet of vitamins and I feel great again on keto. Like I was feeling so sick that I didn't have the time or patience to play detective with my nutrition what are you saying. For what it's worth, and it shouldn't be worth a lot, aminal pak helped me with an instant turnaround.
Sidebar: I once thought that this guy's videos are too long but I'm back to them. I can't quit you. Lol
how about just eat a healthy diet in moderation and take a wholefood high quality multi as a back up all is good
\
So let me get this straight, we aren't supposed to take multivitamins but yet on the keto diet we can't he eat hardly any fruits. Sometimes too much waffling around on this channel
You don’t need fruit to get your vitamins. A variety of veggies and quality sources of meat are enough
well, the omad diet people are screwed then. they eat all theiir nurition in 1 sitting. my advice, take an average dose multi vitamin then find out which extra ones you need. the typical ones you will be deficient in, will be zinc, vitamin d, boron, silica, sulfur, k12
Could you please make a video on the top five supplements you think people should take for weight loss? Or, perhaps, a video on the top five supplements that you should take?
Why do Bariatric Doctor’s prescribe a Multi-vitamin, calcium, vitamin D, the B12 you spoke about (sounds toxic) & iron for the life of their patients after surgery if it’s actually not good for digestion/metabolism/anemia/general health, etc?
Do you have any recommendations for brands of vitamins? There are sooooo many to choose from. How do you choose the right one?
@@chrissc-hit3311 what else man.. Please tell.
@@chrissc-hit3311 that b 12 is synthetic not good thats what they gives you in the clinic
@@annA-fl8um perhaps one can go with a more natural vitamin B12 supplement such as one from "pure synergy" ?
What about organic natural plant based multivitamin Vs synthetic multivitamins ????
what do you think?.......
Where are the vitamins, minerals, etc sourced from? A lot of ingredients come from China and other heavy-metal, toxin-filled countries. Not to mention the unnecessary fillers and binders in the multivitamin that only make it easier for the manufacturer to fill a capsule or make a tablet.
I take multivitamins on my daily basis however I don't rely on it 100%. Balanced diet is a must.
Thomas - I started drinking distilled water to avoid all the crap in purified and even spring water. Would you do a vid on drinking distilled water? You are one of my few trusted sources and thank you for all your work. Always a GREAT job!
Distilled water is fantastic as long as you add minerals back in. When you distill you take out not only the garbage and toxins but the good stuff too. I have been drinking distilled for many years, but I add mineral drops back into mine before drinking.
Thank you for the reply and personal experience/knowledge. Prior to considering distilled, I would add 20 drops of ConcenTrace - Trace Mineral Drops to a one-gallon bottle of spring water. Would this practice be the same as you suggested?
Yes, that is exactly what I use! I add about 2 or 3 drops per glass.
Thank you!
i learned alot about how bad multi vitamins are years ago. even separately you have to be careful when you take them and how you take them. there is really only a small handful of vit's that you may even need. and they vary and can be bad to take different versions of them.
Informative video Thomas! My multivitamins are organ meats 3-4 times/week I don't trust man-made supplements.
Everyone just keep taking your vitamins, that’s all
WHat are the best minerals and vitamins we should take in the morning and in the veneing and what to avoid?
Awesome rant, Thomas ;) Keep up all the great works!
One of the best litmus tests as to whether the latest thing, coming out of the nutrition industry, is valid or not is to simply look at the history of health in certain populations. If a population has relatively good longevity and good quality of life for a long period of time, without whatever item the nutrition industry is currently peddling, chances are that latest product is, at best, unnecessary, or, at worst, a scam. Judging vitamins by this historical standard of health it seems pretty clear that - outside of some severe malnutrition or lack of a variety of foods - vitamins are nothing more than a way to invest in expensive urine. You have long lived populations in many parts of the world where the men and women maintain robust physical capacity well into their 80s and 90s, without the consumption of pills. We co-evolved with plants and animals, and chances are that the best way to ensure that we get the vitamins and minerals we need is to do what we have always done for most of our history - consume plants and animals in their whole, and least processed form, as much as possible. Chances are there are complimentary substances in plants and animals - complimentary substances that we have not even discovered - that allow for such vitamins and minerals to be absorbed more readily than if those same vitamins and minerals were consumed in their isolated and more expensive form.
I’ve been doing that also, taking all my vitamins separate (E,C, B12, etc) key is to make sure they are organic, free of chemicals or weird ingredients. Research the brand(s) before spending your hard earned money.
My stack.
Resveritrol
Vit D3
Vit k2-MK7
Magnesium
B complex
Collagen protein
Krill oil or 2 cans of sardines (an amazing health food)
7 blend medicinal mushroom extract.
All on a keto diet rich in meats, nuts and more recently, seaweed.
Vitamins are not a waste when replenishing and fixing your body. Some of them are necessary at that time and then not needed so much when the diet is changed. You helped me come to that conclusion.
How does one go about finding out what their body specific needs are and what to take, when? I take a ton of stuff each day and my pee is essentially neon so I'm now assuming it's going in and coming right back out.
full blood panel
I guess the logical thing to do is go to a check up and find out your levels first, then experiment with the vitamins, do the check up again, if it works good for you, if not try other brands, natural alternatives is just find quality foods and maintain that balance by naturally eating whole foods, and go get a check up once in a while of where you are at with all your vitamin levels. If you are low on one or a handful of vitamins, buy them individually so like Thomas said they don't cancel out, and consume them separately throughout the day. If you are really serious do the check up, find what foods that have the vitamins you need and go from there and do your check ups once in a while to see where you are at with your levels. Also with the absorbing of the nutrients, I feel like exercising is the key to make your body absorb more of the precious vitamins and minerals, good luck.
thank you for such knowledgable information
What if you're going hard on your workouts and eating one meal a day? Does that change things?
lf 01 I would say yeah it changes everything. Because for 90% of people it's nearly impossible to get all your vitamins. Just like every other supplement, vitamins are a supplement to a non perfect nutrition
Jonathan Sumner I want to know how you eat five servings of fruits and vegetables on the keto diet? I eat one serving and that is almost my carbs for the day. And I'm talking green leafy vegetables
I make my own supplements. Take herbs...and put them in capsules. Just came back from the doctor today and my bloodwork was perfect.
@yajo891 Irish Sea Moss, Bladderwrack, Damiana Leaf, Elderberry Powder. A few others too based on what I'm trying to accomplish.
I'm gonna snort lines of that stuff
@@Psycorde there's always one person 😂
Great video brother, genuine information. Does multivitamin spikes insulin ?
Everything that we eat
Will spike insulin
It depends on whats being eaten to say how high or low it's being spiked
I switch to Garden of life men once daily multivitamin. Its supposedly made 100% from organic plants and contain all essential vitamins. I would be interested in what you guys think about this product
Nestle owns that company now. You might want to switch. I’d try Dr. Mercola supplements.
I've always just taken a fraction of the recommended dosage of multivitamins. The one imitating now says to take 3 a day, but I only take 1. I know I don't need 700% of my daily vitamins and neon pee. I still get yellow pee from them but not as much.
At one point in my life I took centrum for several months and felt really really good. I was convinced. I've recently begun taking multis again and I'm still trying to decide how I feel about them.
That's why I love using a naturopath that uses Kinestheology to tell what my body needs. I have watched it work in the most amazing ways!
Really great information. I've been wondering about this. Thank you!
These videos are pure gold!
In my economics class last semester we learned that the lobbyist from the multivitamin industry fought hard to keep the government from being able to research them. This is because if actual scientific research came out that multivitamins don't produce the benefits that they claim then the they would lose money.
government needs to go.......The Venus Project for the UWYouthOrg, free the old.ALL feasible.....Age of Truth and the final test.
Dr Delauer off again!!
I dont really understand...its good or bad???
Does multivitamin pill really have the nutrition written??
If its bad...how come its better for elderly???
Im guilty of taking a combo pill, cal/mag/zinc. Why do they even make a combo pill with cal and mag together? Everything you said makes sense, keep us informed.
"It´s the lazy mans way out." Maybe it is just the efficient mans way out. Why should weigh out the proportions of 50 different kinds of foods per day to get the same precision when it comes to dosage and variety of nutrients at the same time?
Because it doesn't work? I know from experience, I was the type of person to take these multivitamins. The more varied the better, right? Nah, I felt like crap anyway. Or perhaps exactly because of that.
I got way better by actually fixing my diet, reducing sugars and eating a ton of vegetables.
So which supplements should we take then if not a multivitamin?
Travis Dupree green vegetables
you dont need jack shit other than some eggs and a nice bowl of salad rich in vegetable variaty.
Just curious:
What alternatives can I consume during a fast then?
Fasting = water only, no supplements
Awesome video! Totally makes sense when you break it down like this. Thanks!
I take vitamins made from whole foods. from the whole foods store. My urine is clear. Never had a bad blood test. Before I started taking them about 7 months ago, my hair was falling out I was sick all the time. Now my hair is full and thick and I feel a lot better. PS I do intermittent fasting 20/4. I am 56 yr old.
So it's the whole foods brand? And it's a natural food based multi? Does it have all the vits and mins?
Can you pls do a video on iron alone ?
What all supplement u take , show us ur supplement stacks
Thomas thanks a lot for this video. It answers a lot of misconceptions and wrong ideas that I have about this specific issue. I hope some how some day thanks to this information I'll be able to jump of this multi V.wagon. Thanks again man keep the good work
Please do a video about 'Competition of the minerals and vitamins for absorbtion'. I am eating cheese for the protein, calcium and zinc. So I better do not count zinc from cheese for recommend daily allowance? What else is there? What do other minerals and vitamins impede? This is why they advice to eat 5-6 times a day because you cannot absorb all the minerals you need in one time. Every meal you can focus on different ones. Thomas, now you really need to show us how keto diet is still possible with taking all minerals and vitamins we need because with this video you have killed keto diet. Show us a couple of perfect meal.
Say, I am on the OMAD diet. Would a Multi Vitamin help? Due to the limit of the eating window, I may not get all the Vitamins from the things I eat.
Tristan Teo I am wondering the same thing.
come on! man i literally just brought a Multivitamin supplement for the first time and kinda regretting it now ;(
I chop mine in half. Then I take a half every few days. I've taken whole ones everyday, but my pee does turn dark yellow. By limiting how much I take I figure I'm getting the vitamins without overloading my body. And the bottle lasts way longer.
Riot Rozky no need to regret it, vitamins are essential for proper nutrients to be present in the body where food or the lack thereof don’t deliver them, don’t trust me? See the results, it’s the fastest way to tell if you needed or not 🤷🏻♀️
I know how u feel i just bought mine to!! Although my pee goes fluro yellow not dark. Oh well im ganna keep on taking them anyways then reassess.
@@mypronounismaster4450 .... I basically have the same sort of system.. gummie vites ... and two is what the list on the bottle gives amounts for.. It has NO iron .. no calcium, no zinc .. I know I am not getting everything I need with what I eat .. a cup of lettuce with a splash of cucumber half a can of tuna and some mayo will not really give proper nutrition.. on those days I cut the gummie in half .. and take it... so I'm just boosting nutrition a bit .. I think.. I hope.. LOL ... who knows .. but if I take the full dose of ANY vitamin I get sick.. that IS a fact of life for me personally.
@@JayBird227 eat real food, not synthetic man made vitamins.
So if you feel you do need b12 for an energy boost would it be safe to say that taking a methyl b12 would kill two birds with one stone? Help with the lagging energy issue and help with ridding the body of toxins from the bound methyl group?
I get your point however I think it is key people look at the actual Vitamin or Supplement and the Quality and formulation of them. The main point is a lot of products out there have bad fillers and only a little potency of good nutrition. You also need to take a look at the point of the food now days is lacking Nutrition we used to have in the same foods and still now days we have bad toxins in some of the food out there.
