Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weights.

Today we're going to talk about the number one top multivitamin mineral product in the world. Now I'm not going to tell you the brand name because you can look this up online and find it very easily.

But I just find this very, very interesting.

Here we have the number one top-selling multi-vitamin mineral.

They make just under $200 million a year, and it's all synthetic.

They use mostly elemental minerals.

Those are minerals that don't really absorb that well.

They're very inexpensive, and they are definitely not plant sources.

Elemental minerals are usually in the soil.

The plant grabs them, converts them to a different type of mineral that's easier to absorb

in our bodies.

So anytime you're using elemental minerals, you're using minerals

that are more designed for plants than humans. And so if you're consuming an elemental mineral,

the absorption of it is going to be a lot less, so you're not going to get very much of it

in your body. Now, the same thing goes with synthetics. You're not going to absorb the same amount.

Synthetics are not the same form that with synthetics. You're not going to absorb the same amount. Synthetics are not the

same form that comes from nature. All right, let's start with the first ingredient, calcium carbonate.

What you should know about the first ingredient of most products, it usually encompasses the

majority of that product. So if they have calcium carbonate is the first ingredient,

it's probably the majority of this product. And this is why when you lift up the bottle of the

supplement, it feels like a paperweight. It's very, very heavy because calcium carbonate is a rock.

It does not get absorbed in your body very well, and I never recommend it.
