Vitamins
Below is a link to our Wellevate Page, a discounted online dispensary for vitamins and minerals. I believe we should all be taking Vitamin D with K2, a good B-Complex with trace minerals, a good Omega 3 fish oil, and increase the salt in our diet (see article below on salt). The products with a heart next to them are the ones I recommend or take.
Random articles for patients.
Today I’ll present both sides of the argument: pro-salt and anti-salt. Then you can decide which side makes more sense. This is called thinking for yourself. I highly recommend it! Robb Wolf
