Do high temps destroy all supplements?
@Ruby Slippers Some can not be destroyed by normal means
@ET Himself yeah like flushing them down the toilet or even using a hammer!

@ET Himself yes, i know. Mine are in heat.
@Ruby Slippers Haha, ur supplements
We all need some type of supplementation to our healthy daily diets. It us undeniable these days. We each have different inherent deficiencies that need to be supported with adequate nutrients. I thank goodness we have these available from reputable companies who make quality nutraceuticals for us to use. I think people who deny the need for required nutrients and nutrition have their head in the sand.
Genes that increase the propensity for Alzheimer’s, cancer, diabetes literally mandate proper, intelligent supplementation…. also inborn errors of metabolism of specific nutrients that also lead to syndromes/disease.
