3 Supplements I Would NEVER Take as an ND #shorts
Dr. Janine shares three supplements she would NEVER take as a Naturopathic Doctor. The first is high doses of synthetic vitamin C. This has been shown to increase the risk of kidney stones, especially in men. The second is high doses of vitamin E. Dr. Janine explains how high doses of vitamin E have been shown in research to cause a higher risk of heart failure, especially in diabetics and people with vascular diseases. Lastly, Dr. Janine explains why she would NEVER take folic acid as a Naturopathic Doctor. She talks about how this is NOT the same as folate, which is naturally found in foods and has scary side effects.
