So, you pop your vitamins, minerals and supplements, and are happy that a/ you did not forget to take them b/ managed to actually have all of them at home and c/ think you are doing great things for your body.
Sorry …. But no, as I found out from my functional medicine doctor. I am making very expensive poo!!!!! Most of the pills go through the digestive system like any other food and are discarded by the body.
To help you digest fats, my doctors recommended that I take ox bile 30 minutes after a meal – especially a fatty one. It’s exactly what it sounds like, bile from an ox, and supplements your liver’s bile production in order to do three things:
- break down the oils and fats you eat
- absorb important fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins
- remove toxins from the body that cause inflammation and disease
Ask your doctor or nutritionist about box bile.
