It’s difficult to find a supplement made of whole foods that has not been adulterated by some man-made ingredient. Take Vitamin C for example. To call it a vitamin C supplement it has to have a minimum of 100mg. of Vitamin C in it. But real foods don’t have that many mgs. of vitamin C. So, legally the company needs to add something the body would prefer not to have to be able to dispense a product that the body wants. It’s crazy. But here’s the list and sometimes people are actually allergic to some of these.
