| Question: | When you take all these high-dose supplements don' t you just excrete them? |
| Answer: | Water is the body' s most essential nutrient. Yet, once it has done its job it is simply excreted. Does that mean you shouldn' t drink water? The same is true for many nutrients. Supplementing vitamin C, for example, raises vitamin C levels in the blood for a few hours, then it' s excreted. During that time, however, it protects cells from damage and makes it hard for any invading bacteria or viruses to survive. Nutrients come and go. In between they do their work. |
