Today, I want to cover a few things you might not know about vitamin supplements. Vitamin supplements can be very beneficial as long as you understand a few things about them first.

I believe natural whole food vitamins are much more beneficial than synthetic vitamins to support a healthy body. Certain synthetic vitamins can be okay in specific circumstances, like for a detox. But, I don't think they are good long-term solutions.

When it comes to the supplements I create, I put a lot of focus and attention on the ingredients and even the source of the ingredients.

Six surprising facts about vitamins:
1. Most mega vitamin companies are owned by Big Pharma, chemical companies, or food manufacturing companies

2. 95% of vitamins sold are made synthetically by chemical companies

3. China is the largest exporter of vitamin C and vitamin B1

4. The vitamin studies that show an increased risk for cancer use synthetics

5. Whole food concentrates are more complete and are more bioavailable despite having lower amounts of vitamins

6. Medical doctors only get about 25 hours, on average, of training on nutrition

I only got 2 hours of nutrition training in medical school 40 yrs ago. I have learned more through your videos over last several years. I am horrified at the deficit in this type of training in conventional medicine. Keep up the great work!

IM BLOWN AWAY.. I DONT deal with a certain company AT ALL, so to hear they own the vitamin company I trust is way too much for me.! THANK YOU DR.BERG.

Thank you Dr Berg for having the courage to speak the truth..

Dr Berg keep doing what you are doing! Truely caring about the health of people. I threw all my other supplements by these companies in the trash and bought yours. I can 10000% see and feel the difference.

Thank you Dr. Berg. I got vitamins from the veggies and the fruits that we grow on our yard. But it was not easy for the first time since we had small space to grow what we needed.

Dr. Berg, Thank you for being an honest man & doctor with integrity.

I've been on my own journey of scouring scientific literature regarding nutrition and the effects on the body. Dr. Burg is who I use to share my research with friends and family, because he summarizes it so succinctly. Keep up the great work! And don't let mean commenters get to you. There will always be critical internet trolls looming to tear down your day. They're emotionally damaged people looking for a high.

Good morning Dr. Berg your videos have helped me with reversing my diabetes, and improving my health overall. This video however is stupendous!

[marymartha]

You're walking heavy this morning, Doc! You are fearless and bold and cannot be sold...bringing truth to the lies told!

7️⃣ Many famous doctors (ex. Amy Myers) peddle their stuff SO hard online, but none of it is special- they're just private labeling another company's stuff 🤷‍♀️

[measlesplease]

Everyone I know loves your videos. You're the most real doctor on the planet. I don't say that lightly.

[sallyhasiak]

I wish you were my doctor. You seem to be the only doctor who truly cares about people. You have such a beautiful heart. My brother Eric, introduced me to you. And I couldn't be more grateful. I'm sick with hepatitis B, cured my hepatitis C, but now I have cirrhosis. Not from alcohol, but from hepatitis. I'm curious about something. I'm taking vitamins, and supplements. Do they even worse when your liver isn't?

[stephaniecuaz]

I used to take vitamins-several-every day, until I saw your video on stop taking them a while back. Was so glad to learn about Vitamin C and what it really is in them too. Now watching this I'm even happier I've STOPPED taking vitamins and only get my nutrients from delicious healthy food. Thank you as always Dr Berg!! 🤩

Yes, big corporations have been buying up vitamin companies for a few years now. It's very difficult to find vitamins that are not just synthetic variants grown in who knows what. I heard that even heads of garlic are grown in sewer water, have the roots sliced off to lower shipping cost across the globe, and are also bleached which is why they are completely white and sliced clean at the bottom. These are imports - we have plenty of garlic grown right here in the USA. Thank you for this reminder, Dr. Berg.

[deusvlad.]

I agree with this, I wish I had all the info you've implemented on us back in the 80's when I was a kid.

[shugaslimm]

Wow, this was informative. Thanks for all you do Dr. Berg 🙏🏾

So glad I found this channel. I've been fairly skinny for a long time. Ate lots of salads but consumed a lot of carbohydrates and even more sugar. I could never get rid of my man boobs and my muffin top. After cutting out carbs and sugar my man boobs and Muffin Top melted in 3 weeks! I'm so lean and cut now. I love it! Never going back! I eat two huge salads a day. About a pound of beef. Four eggs. And three avocados.
