Vitamins & minerals you think you're getting enough of from your food but probably aren't:

- Magnesium
- Zinc
- Vitamin A (Retinol)
- Vitamin B12
- Vitamin C

Magnesium is depleted from the soils so you don't find it as easily in foods

Nuts are theoretically highest food source

Supplementing is your best bet to replenish your reserves

Mag glycinate is my favorite

Zinc is the ammunition for your immune system

Without it, your body has trouble defending itself

Oysters are the highest food source

I like Zinc Carnosine as a supplement form

Balance out with Copper

Vitamin A is what fuels your liver and skin

It also plays a role in your immunity

Your highest food source is organ meats, not very popular in this day and age

Cod liver oil is a good alternative or even canned cod livers (make sure its bpa free)

Vitamin B12 is the vitamin of life

It helps produce your blood cells

With today's push to lower meat consumption, many of you are missing sufficient B12

Methylcobalamin or hydroxycobalamin are the only forms I'd supplement with

Balance out with folate

Vitamin C is your body's favorite antioxidant

It helps clean up your trillions of cells and is a pillar of your immune system

Whole foods like kiwis, guavas and citrus fruits are your best sources

You need to eat them frequently

Avoid the supplements, most are made from corn
