MYTH‐CONCEPTION: 
You always absorb the nutritional benefits of your 
food and supplements 
It is truly tragic that many people do not get proper nutritional support despite
taking supplements for a very simple reason: their bodies are not properly
digesting and absorbing their supplements!
There is a really simple fix to this problem: just grind up your supplements in a
blender mixed with some water or juice, or mixed into a meal-replacement shake

have an enormous positive effect on your health!
Minerals and enzymes are necessary for proper metabolism and fat burning; in
particular, research has linked calcium deficiency to increased fat storage, and
has shown that higher levels of calcium promote a leaner body. Dairy is a great
way to get calcium but try to get it organic; cottage cheese is especially good,
since regular cottage cheese (not the low fat kind!) has CLA (conjugated linolenic
acid) which is a super healthy fat. If you wish to avoid dairy, that's fine, just be
careful to find a mineral supplement that is well absorbed and digested by your
body.

minerals in the wrong form, then they will not be properly absorbed into your
body, and you are wasting your money! The most easily absorbed minerals are
ionized minerals, which are the chemically smallest form of minerals. There is a

minerals (I use this myself everyday.) And if you do take solid form mineral
tablets, grind them up in the blender to maximize their absorption into your body.
The supplement that is most often missing from the Western diet – even for
otherwise health conscious people – is enzymes. In a nutshell, enzymes are
