Are Multivitamins and Minerals Suitable While on A Detox?

Most multivitamins and mineral supplements are artificially synthesized and do not always closely resemble their natural counterparts. In natural foods vitamins and minerals are combined with their co-factors, which are much more complex, smaller and easier to assimilate that the isolated compounds found today in most multivitamin and mineral tablets. Hence we would not recommend using most multivitamins and minerals whilst on a cleanse due to the unknown effects of consuming them.

Recently, however there has been a revolution occurring quietly in the supplement field called Food State. They are vitamin and mineral supplements that closely resemble their natural counterparts. The dosages are not as high but the vitamins and minerals are better absorbed and retained than synthetic supplements.

Below is a diagram showing a food state natural vitamin on the left, and the synthetic counterpart on the right.

We do feel that consuming natural Food State vitamins and minerals while on a cleanse would be beneficial. We also strongly recommend the use of Supergreens.
