Folic Acid is Hazardous to Your Health
Folic acid gets a lot of press coverage. Few reports have mentioned that folic acid is unnatural, folic acid is synthetic, and that the body cannot properly convert much folic acid into a usable folate form.
No two products are identical if made by different manufacturers and some are more “equivalent” than others. Unlike Nutri-West, Food Research products, for example, do not contain any isolated USP vitamins nor industrial mineral salt ‘nutrients.’ Also, Standard Process Laboratories sometimes uses porcine glandulars, USP vitamins, claimed mineral salts, and/or colors, whereas none of these are in Food Research International products.

Folic acid gets a lot of press coverage. Few reports have mentioned that folic acid is unnatural, folic acid is synthetic, and that the body cannot properly convert much folic acid into a usable folate form.
For decades the ‘natural’ health industry has been touting thousands of vitamin supplements. The truth is that most vitamins in supplements are made or processed with petroleum derivatives or hydrogenated sugars. Even though they are often called natural, most non-food vitamins are isolated substances which are crystalline in structure.
Vitamin-Mineral™ (90 Tablets) is a 100% vegetarian FOOD supplement that is the best multi-vitamin, multi-mineral product available anywhere. Unlike some other claimed “ WHOLE FOOD” multi-formulas, it does not contain ANY isolate USP nutrients. 270 Tablets – $89.98
Gluco-Sugar-Balance™ (90 Capsules) is a 100% vegetarian FOOD supplement intended to help support a healthy balance of glucose in the body. It contains minerals, such as Chromium GTF and vanadium, as well as herbs to nutritionally support the body’s blood sugar systems.
Metabolic Thyro™ (90 Tablets) is a 100% FOOD supplement that is intended to supply nutrients, glandulars, and herbs needed to maintain and support optimal thyroid health. It is made up of naturally-iodine containing kelp, plant source l-tyrosine, and bovine glandulars.
B Stress Complex™ (90 Capsules) is a 100% vegetarian FOOD supplement that is intended to supply 100% FOOD B vitamins. Unlike certain so called “whole food” B vitamin sources, it does not contain isolated USP niacinamide, pyridoxine hydrochloride, or any isolated “nutrients”.
