Why Choose Food-State Nutrients Over Synthetic Supplements?
Q: Do you have Vitamin B? Or should I buy a supplement from the shop?
Dr Jane Mackenzie answers:
Not all supplements are created equal when it comes to nourishing your body. I don’t buy synthetic supplements—those often contain isolated or artificial forms of vitamins that may lack the full spectrum of co-factors, minerals, and enzymes naturally found in whole foods.
Instead, I always choose food-state nutrients, where vitamins and minerals are presented as nature intended—balanced, bioavailable, and supported by the whole matrix of nutrients our bodies need for absorption and function.
Here’s why it matters:
🌿 Nature Knows Best
There are over 20 known Vitamin B compounds—but most lab-made supplements only include a handful. Many testing labs don’t even check for the full spectrum, so we often rely on incomplete or synthetic blends in store-bought products.
💊 Lab-Made = Limited
Synthetic vitamins may require special coatings (liposomal, nanotech, chelated) to get into your cells. That’s because they’re not naturally bioavailable. On the other hand, food-state nutrients are recognised and absorbed easily by the body—no tricks are required.
🌱 Whole-Food Nutrients = Real Results
That’s why I choose natural, plant-based spirulina—a powerful superfood rich in the full vitamin B complex, plus minerals, phytosterols, and essential amino acids. It’s a true food source of nutrients your body understands.
