Remember that any supplements you do not absorb must be removed from your system. That puts a load on your liver and kidneys. You can also easily unbalance your minerals by taking too much of one and not enough of another. This same is true for most nutrients in the body that are in balance to one and other. Upset this balance and you pay a price, it puts a load on the body in many ways that often are not easily detected or isolated in a complex biological system.

Because they are so concentrated supplements can easily cause a disturbance. In food the nutrients are in a naturally occurring balance, if the food is grown under healthy conditions, soil, appropriate sources of nutrients in the soil etc. That food is what our systems evolved on not metallic forms of minerals and isolated nutrients in capsules that do not act in the same way in the body as nutrients in a plant or animal based matrix of other nutrients that enhance and modulate each other.

That small fortune is what motivates the spin doctors to convince people to buy their supplements. At least you have made someone happy buying them. <smile>

Hi all you scientific geniuses out there, regarding the article that Janet 
posted about antioxidants,

would this apply to things like minerals i.e. Concentrace, or indeed, iodine supplements, or things

like alpha lipoic acid etc., I'm asking because I have just spent a small fortune on these substances!
