Episode 2632: Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss training goals and give a rundown of some vitamin basics you should know, and more.
Some Vitamin Basics
- Vinnie recaps his cardio goals. (1:00)
- However, this year he decided to focus more on strength training. It doesn’t mean he’s slacking on cardio.
- He’s prepping for another climb up Mt. Whitney in the upcoming months.
- They discuss “periodization” training.
- Vinnie switches to a recent consultation he had with a couple. (16:00)
- He realizes he needs to discuss the subject of vitamins more frequently.
- Full disclosure: Vinnie owns Pure Vitamin Club. (20:00)
- Today’s lifestyles and stressors deplete the body of vitamins, so it’s good to supplement where possible. (20:20)
- Vitamin B-12 is essential and involved in developing red blood cells, brain health, and DNA.
- There are different forms of B-12 vitamins: methylcobalamin and cyanocobalamin.
- Stay away from cyanocobalamin. It is a synthetic form and contains a cyanide molecule.
- Vitamin C is absorbed better when hooked to a fat molecule (meaning liposomal). (28:00)
- The reason Vinnie created a vitamin company is to help people be better. (28:30)
- When he was cured of cancer in 2007, he analyzed everything in his lifestyle, including the vitamins he was taking.
- He realized that even the high-end vitamins he had been using had crap ingredients. (31:00)
- Vitamin E is great to take, but take one made with tocotrienol, a better form of vitamin E. (40:15)
- Vitamins often work better when they are blended with the proper molecules.
- For example, Vitamin D3 is absorbed better when attached to Vitamin K.
- Two recent studies show that vitamin D can be an effective way to slow multiple sclerosis. (44:45)
- A specific strain of spirulina is apparently a usable form of B-12 for vegans. (47:45)
- Pure Vitamin Club’s B-12 is sublingual, so you let it dissolve under your tongue.
