Methylated b vitamins

Methylated B vitamins can be especially helpful for those with methylation pathway issues.

Strong consensus

“some people take methylated B vitamins to prevent a hangover ... something else which is very gentle and not going to cause any problems will be try methyl glycine or it's called TMG”

Grass-fed beef

Grass-fed beef offers better nutrition and supports soil and animal health.

Water filtration

Filtering water is a simple way to reduce exposure to unwanted substances.

Strong consensus

“water needs to be filtered and remember in order to filter toxins like that out of the water we must use a reverse osmosis or a distillation type filter”
