YOUR COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE
TO SUPPLEMENTS
Supplement Toxic Top 6

1. RANCID OILS
Hydrogenated oils congest the cells and negatively impact cholesterol, antioxidants,
and inflammation. Oils to avoid are canola, corn, cotton seed, rapeseed, rice bran,
safflower, soybean, non-organic sunflower, and vegetable oil. The 2010 Dietary
Guidelines for Americans specifically states: “Keep trans fatty acid consumption as
low as possible by limiting foods that contain synthetic sources of trans fats, such
as partially hydrogenated oils, and by limiting other solid fats.”

Selecting supplements with stable, strong naturally occurring oils avoids this
negative impact. These oils include coconut, avocado, olive, macadamia, borage,
palm, flaxseed, grapeseed, and fish oil.

About fish oil and flaxseed oil, knowledge of the supplement companies’ process to
protect these fragile oils is highly recommended. Refrigerated versions (optional),
added vitamin E or tocopherols, and dark-colored bottles are three ways this is
done. Buying large bulk bottles of fish oil is not advised as they are not protected
and easily go rancid.

2. HEAVY METALS
Lead, mercury, and aluminum are linked to neurological disorders, inflammation,
and heart dysfunction. Finding supplements that test for and reduce heavy metal
exposure is crucial.

For example, your fish oils choice should test or state that they are “Molecularly
distilled and 3rd party tested to ensure PCBs, dioxins, mercury, lead, and other
contaminants are below acceptable limits set by the Council for Responsible
Nutrition and other advisory agencies.”

3. ADDED SUGAR, ARTIFICIAL SUGARS,
AND HIDDEN SUGARS
We consume 152 pounds of sugar per person, per year
in America according to the Department of Health and
Human Services. To avoid any additional intake, no
added or sources of sugar should be in supplements
one takes.

— AVOID —
• Maltodextrin, especially corn • Corn products
maltodextrin (tapioca maltodextrin • Potato products
is ok) • Any other forms of sugar
• Any form of starch • Toxic forms of artificial flavorings
• Any word ending in -ose (Sucralose, aspartame, Splenda,
(sucrose, fructose, glucose, etc.) Nutrasweet, etc.)
(Except cellulose, hypromellose,
and allulose)

4. ARTIFICIAL COLORINGS
• FD&C Blue No. 1 & 2
• FD&C Green No. 3
• FD&C Red No. 3 & 40
• FD&C Yellow No. 5 & 6
• Caramel

The only purpose of artificial colorings is to make the supplement look more
appealing or fun. This is solely for marketing purposes, to cover up the poor
quality of the supplement, and does not help your health. The FDA itself has
shown a connection between artificial food dyes and behavior issues, ADHD, and
hyperactivity.

5. SYNTHETIC VITAMINS
Healthy food forms of vitamins are very important for proper health. However,
synthetic/fortified vitamins are created using chemical compounds that are not
found in nature. Your body cannot utilize them
as they can natural vitamins sourced from food.

According to the Organic Consumers

Association, fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K)
are especially dangerous in synthetic form, as
they can build up in your body’s fat tissues and
liver. These along with fortified vitamins should
be avoided.
3
Vitamin A – Naturally occurring in orange
to red-colored foods like carrots. In its
natural form, it is known as beta carotene.
Its synthetic form is known as beta-
ionone, retinyl acetate, and/or retinyl
palmitate. The synthetic form primarily
comes from palm oil—a leading cause of
deforestation.
Vitamin B2 – Whole grains, almonds,
eggs, and green leafy veggies are rich
in riboflavin or vitamin B2. Connected
to phosphate. Its synthetic counterpart
riboflavin acid or just labeled as riboflavin
does not stay in our bloodstream for long
periods, unlike its natural counterpart,
and is quickly expelled.
Niacin B3 – Nicotinic acid is the synthetic
version which is created from coal tar.
Niacinamide or nicotinamide is what we
find in food and commonly call niacin.
Niacin can have side effects, but these
are minimal when coming from plant
foods.
Vitamin B5 – Milk, eggs, and veggies
are rich in pantothenate or vitamin B5.
Formaldehyde and isobutyraldehyde are
used to make pantothenic acid, which is
the crystalline synthetic form of vitamin
B5.
Vitamin B6 – Plants are a good source
of pyridoxine or vitamin B6. The natural
version is paired with phosphate making
pyridoxial phosphate. In its synthetic
form, pyridoxine hydrochloride, it is
produced from formaldehyde, HCL acid,
and petroleum ester, which are not easily
converted to its usable form.
Vitamin C – Found in citrus fruits. It
naturally co-occurs with phytonutrients
and flavonoids, while the synthetic ones
do not, which makes it less useful than
its natural counterpart. Acerola and alma
are great sources. Or for high doses non-
GMO ascorbic acid.

4
Vitamin D – The best source comes from the sun and is also found in salmon and
eggs. Vitamin D2 in the prescribed or pill form is synthetic and toxic. Vitamin D3 is
more natural and needs to be paired with vitamin K2 and magnesium to protect the
health of the arteries.
Vitamin E – Its most effective form can be gotten from the oils of seeds and grains
but be careful of rancid versions. Sunflower is the safest form. The synthetic form
does not stay long in our body and is expelled out of the system speedily, unlike
natural vitamin E. If it has a dL in front of it then avoid this form of vitamin E. ex. dL-
tocopherol
Vitamin K – Found in green leafy vegetables. Coal tar derivatives are used to create
the synthetic form, menadione, which is highly toxic and can negatively affect
immunity. Look for pure Vitamin K1 or MK4 and MK7 forms of Vitamin K2
Vitamin B9 – Also called folate. Whole grains and leafy veggies are rich in this
nutrient. Folic acid is its crystalline and synthetic form, which is not readily
absorbed by the body. Methylfolate is the preferred non-toxicant methylated
version.
Vitamin B12 – Also referred to as cobalamin. B12 it can be found in seaweed and
algae and also produced by bacteria in our gut. The synthetic source comes from
fermented cyanide and cobalt to create cyanocobalamin. Yes cyanide. It a small
amount but Cyanide is a toxic chemical. Methylcobalamin is the preferred natural
and methylated version.

6. TOXIC ADDITIVES
Magnesium Silicate
• Used as a filler and anti-caking agent. Tied to lung problems when inhaled,
often contaminated with asbestos in the mining process and is suspected to
cause problems when ingested.

Magnesium Stearate / Stearic Acid

• The stearic acid used to make the preservatives is sometimes taken from
cottonseed or canola oil. A vegetable magnesium stearate is advised.

Sodium Benzoate
• Benzene based chemicals have been linked to various cancers. Sodium
benzoate can form benzene if it’s taken with toxic ascorbic acid. According
to the US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health sodium
benzoate has the potential to damage cells and DNA.

Titanium Dioxide
• Titanium dioxide has been shown to cause lung inflammation and
compromises the immune system. Arsenic and Carrageenan can also be
potential sources of toxicity.

for at least 10 minutes, breathe and de-stress, and avoid toxins by doing the
challenge. Once those foundations are in place, then use supplements to add to
your health.

Live Good!
