This is a YouTube video titled "If you take multivitamins, watch this." containing a monologue by Alicia Mackey Huber recorded on November 15, 2023. In this segment, Alicia discusses the importance of minerals in supplements, explaining the difference between metallic and ionic minerals, and the challenges of getting sufficient minerals from multivitamins alone.
Different minerals. For instance if you were to get corn flakes they put iron filings in them to raise the iron level. But metallic iron is really bad for you so ionic form minerals and electrolytes are really good for you. And if you're going to drink coffee every morning you might as well just get your minerals that way you still need to take mineral capsules. It takes about three capsules to get enough minerals to matter for the macro minerals and very few people want to take more than three pills. So then the vitamin companies say well I'm going to make it three a day but they try to put all the stuff in there that you'd want. You can't do it and it's lower levels need it's lower levels than you need so you're better off before you take a multivitamin to take a multi mineral. It's that important because nothing works without minerals. Your body can make almost anything it needs if it has the minerals and it has the energy.
