Make Your Own Mango vitamin, amino acids and minerals juice

Why bother?

1. If you are a child or need to take a combination of supplements that are not already combined into a single pill or gummy, then taking organising and swallowing 20 pills per day takes up too much time and energy so you are not going to bother or will compromise on the quality of the multi-purpose single pill.
2. A multivitamin will often have unmethylated synthetic and unnatural chemicals such as folic acid rather than natural methylated folate.
3. The dosing of each component may be inadequate and the RDA value may be outdated and not suitable for optimum health or not bioavailable such as magnesium and vitamin D3
4. Boron improves brain, inflammation, hormones, wound healing, helps absorption of magnesium and vitamin D, strengthens bones and reduces cancer
5. Iodine supports thyroid, breast, ovaries, prostate, and avoids cysts and cancer
6. Manganese is essential for hormones, connective tissue, blood clotting, metabolism
7. Zinc supports wound healing, immune system and metabolism
8. Copper balances zinc and supports iron transport, immune system and metabolism
9. Molybdenum supports metabolism and sulfite excretion
10. Astaxanthin is a red retinoid that makes salmon pink and acts like vitamin A

See my page on making your own salt if you want more minerals.

If you are a child then you may have no knowledge of healthy food and may have a very restricted diet based on processed wheat food fortified inadequately with synthetic vitamins and minerals.
