PODCAST #79: DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS – THE HEALTH RISKS

May 30, 2020

Supplement use has reached an all-time high. So clearly, it is important to know how to purchase and wisely use dietary supplements safely. (#vegan) Ordinaryvegan.net

Did you know the Food and Drug Administration does not require dietary supplements to be proven safe before they are marketed?

Furthermore, supplement use has reached an all-time high. So clearly, it is important to know how to purchase and wisely use dietary supplements safely.

Supplements are available without a prescription and usually come in pill, powder, or liquid form. Popular supplements include vitamins, minerals, and herbal products. People take these products to make sure they get enough essential nutrients to improve their health.

In 2019, the CRN Consumer Survey on Dietary Supplements revealed the highest overall dietary supplement usage to date. Among all the age groups, adults between the ages 35 – 54 have the highest usage.

Unfortunately, supplements can also cause problems, especially if you don't need them.

Today's podcast is dedicated to clearing up the confusion about dietary supplements along with:

  • Unlabeled ingredients in dietary supplements
  • Sourcing ingredients from China
  • How heavy metals affect your mitochondria
  • Taking higher-than-recommended doses of supplements
  • The un-natural fiber in high fiber supplements
  • Too much vitamin C side effects
  • Recommended doses of vitamin B12
  • Recommended doses of vitamin D

I hope today's podcast helps you make wise choices about your supplements. For recipes and inspiration, follow me on Instagram and Facebook.

Additionally, you can find my new book “The Easy 5 Ingredient Vegan Cookbook” HERE and all my vegan CBD products from hemp on my website.

CBD Testimonials

Testimonial 1

“A few month’s ago I ordered your CBD oil on a whim and to be honest,  I didn’t really believe it could help me with my chronic pain. But since I started using the capsules, I’m a new person. At first I cut back on my opioids, but now I am almost opioid free for the first time in 10 years. Thank you so much!”

“My name is Stephanie and my anxiety and panic attacks were something I learned to live with. I started using your capsules daily and it has changed my life. Panic attacks are gone and my anxiety level is the best it has ever been. I also use the drops when I need a little extra anxiety protection. So grateful. Thank you Ordinary Vegan.”

“Hi – I wanted to share my experience with your CBD capsules in hope that it helps others. I have suffered with depression and anxiety on and off since the 70s. I am now 65. The happy tablets just didn’t seem to work anymore then someone mentioned CBD Oil. I have never looked back since taking it. Besides it changed my moods it also got rid of back pain I had. But basically I wake up in the morning feeling happy again :)”

” I recently tried Ordinary Vegan’s CBD Pain Cream after straining my neck moving furniture. The cream looks like more of a salve and is a beautiful pale green color and it smells divine . It massages easily into the skin and best of all IT WORKS! My neck had been killing me for days and after massaging it into my neck I felt almost instant relief.”

Testimonial 10

“I received my CBD cream from Ordinary Vegan. My hands were in a lot of pain and I could not bend my fingers. I applied some and within about 35 min. I could bend them and the pain was gone. I used it sparingly but messaged it in good but gingerly. I love the color and the smell. It doesn’t smell medicinal.”

// LEIGH

” I just ordered from your site last night and I’m so excited to start feeling better. On a more personal note…I’ve loved your other page and blogs for quite a long time now and when I saw that you started selling this product I knew right away that I trusted the quality and would try it. Thank you for everything”

// DAVE

Testimonial 13

“I have suffered from severe chronic pain for over 20 years. Got addicted to pain meds and took Acetaminophen daily for 20 years until it led to a severe ulcer. I finally decided to try your CBD oil capsules and it was a miracle from the moment I took them. No only did it improve my mood swings, it took away the pain and decreased the inflammation. I am a new man. Thank you!”

// WILLIAM

Testimonial 14

“I have a very rare, incurable and untreatable disease called Mitochondrial Disease. I had been bedridden for the last 4 years. I started CBD oil hoping to get some relief for my symptoms and what I ended up getting was my life back. I can still hardly believe it. We are all stunned, including my doctors. I can sit up, talk, walk and have even started exercising to try and regain muscle and endurance. For the first time in over 4 years I have hope. Please, please help move CBD forward. Its the only thing that has helped me. The only thing.”
