Mother Nature’s B Bundle

The ancestral diet, along with the additional B complex rich foods such as Beef Liver and Bee Pollen will typically provide sufficient intake of B vitamins. Food provide Mother Nature’s varying assortment of B’s along with a complement of nutrients, such as bioavailable copper (aka ceruloplasmin), that assist the body with B vitamin creation and functionality. Good examples are bee pollen and beef liver. Natural B vitamin foods, with their accompanying enzymes, should not present issues for those with methylation errors.

Synthetic vitamins contain only a small part of the whole vitamin molecule, and lack their natural enzymes and co-nutrients. As such, they are not in a form that’s bioavailable to the body. This puts demands on the body’s resources to activate and assimilate them properly, and they can build up to toxic levels when this does not happen efficiently. This applies also to vitamin B supplements that appear to be food-based. These can be more concentrated than what Mother Nature would provide, and also lead to problems with assimilation. Those who take synthetic B’s often struggle with keeping potassium levels up, which interferes with the healing process.

The better approach to increasing B vitamin levels is by getting our B’s from food based supplements and raising bio available copper to create the enzymes that support proper B vitamin metabolism. Getting B vitamins from foods also bypasses the issue of which form of B’s works best for any given individual.
