Vitamin Complexes

VITAMIN COMPLEXES... A, B, C, D, E, and K

CONSUME VITAMINS IN THEIR NATURAL COMPLEX

Vitamin A(Retinol) - Whole milk, Cream, Butter, Eggs, Beef Liver and Cod Liver Oil

B Vitamins - Beef Liver, Bee Pollen, Rice Bran, and Unfortified Nutritional yeast

Vitamin C - Acerola cherry, Citrus fruits and Fruit juices

Vitamin D - Cod Liver Oil, Beef Liver, and SUNSHINE

Vitamin E - Emu Oil, Black Seed Oil, Red Palm Oil, Wheat Germ Oil, Nuts, and Seeds

Vitamin K - Emu Oil, Greens, Cruciferous Vegetables, Beef Liver, Eggs, and Dairy Products

Nature provides a natural ratio of

Vitamin A to D of 10 to 1

Synthetic vitamins in supplement form are not easily used by the body and are not presented in natural ratios

Retinol and Beta Carotene are both referred to as Vitamin A. The Retinol in animal fats is readily available for the body to use while Beta Carotene from plants requires 12 times as much and has to undergo a conversion process to become usable by the body, so not all Vitamin A is created equal. Don't make the body work harder than it has too, eat animal fat!

VITAMINS A & D are actually HORMONES!

ONLY CONSUME A & D IN THEIR NATURAL FOOD-BASED COMPLEX

The GOOD news on RETINOL A:

Retinol eaten from animal fats converts to Retinoic Acids in the body...A KEY HORMONE.
Reduces inflammation by strengthening the immune system.
In the brain, increases cell survival after stroke or PD and reduces inflammation, reduction in memory deficits with Alzheimer's disease.
In cancer cells, it reduces mitigation & invasiveness, increases cell death & differential, reduces proliferation.
On the skin, it decreases desquamation & erithema, irritation, & inflammation, has anti-microbial activity.
In stem calls, it increases cell differentiation and lowers cell proliferation.

The NOT so good news on HORMONE D:

Active D inhibits Hypoxia-Inducible Factors. (HIF-1). (Ben-Shoshan et all, 2007)
There is no clinical benefit above 21 ng/dL. (Amer et al, 2013)
Hormone D Metabolism is dependent on Magnesium. (Dang et al, 2013)
Low Vitamin D = High inflammation. (Mangin et al, 2014)
Supplemental D causes Renal Potassium wasting. (Ferris JF et al, 1962)
Supplemental D causes an increase in iron absorption & decrease in ATP. (Zager et al, 1985)
It is high hepatic iron that causes low magnesium & low storage D. (Chow et al, 1985)
Supplemental D blocks absorption & use of Vitamin A. (Mawson. 2013: Fn # 67)(Conaway. 2013: Fn # 124)
Supplemental D is not sulfated (water soluble). (Seneff et al, 2015)
Supplemental D does not stop cancer. (lappe JM et al, 2017 vs 2007)
Active D stimulates synthesis of Metallothionein. (Karasawa et al, 1987)
Active D is an Hepcidin antagonist. (Zughaier et al, 2014)

Thank you to Morley Robbins for identifying these "New Dimensions to Hormone D"!

The good news is that Nature provides great sources of A & D in the correct ratios. They come packaged together in Cod liver oil, grass-fed beef liver, pastured eggs, and whole milk products such as milk, cream, cheese and butter.

A & D have a yin and yang type relationship. Too much of one, suppresses the other, so supplementing with soy-based Vitamin D leads to suppressed Retinol levels and excessive Vitamin D levels. Keep in mind that there are 15 Vitamin D metabolites and your Doctor likely only checks one... Storage D, 25(OH). To increase your immune system activity in a healthy way, including inhibiting "Influenza Pathogenesis", you want to upregulate it with Retinol, not suppress it with Vitamin D.
