The Pectasol Detox Formula, from Advanced Bionutritionals, contains citrus pectin and modified seaweed alginates, which have been shown to effectively promote safe elimination of toxic heavy metals from the body, like mercury, lead, cadmium and arsenic. Is this supplement of meaningful benefit for mostly elderly individuals having a decades-long exposure and accumulation of toxins, or would regular use or periodic periods of intake be a worthwhile prophylactic measure for younger individuals as well? What is most important for us to know?

Dr. Al Sears wrote in a newsletter that “Synthetic, lab-created, vitamin A can build up to toxic levels and damage your liver. They’re sold as retinyl palmitate and they’re made by combining an ester of retinol with synthesized palmitic acid.” Is he correct that retinyl palmitate-containing supplements should be avoided?

Some vitamin A supplements on the market are plant-based forms, like beta-carotene, but most rely on retinyl palmitate, made by combining an ester of retinol with synthesized palmitic acid. Is using retinyl palmitate supplementation to obtain a healthy level of vitamin A both safe and effective, or being a synthetic substance, does it have limitations or toxicity compared to ingesting Vitamin A-rich foods?

A review article shows little or no benefit of supplementing patients with vitamin D3 for bone fractures (T. Gatt, A. Grech, and H. Arshad. The effect of Vitamin D supplementation for bone healing in fracture patients: a systematic review. Adv. Orthopedics Volume 2023, Article ID 6236045). However, the supplement doses of vitamin D3 were either low, 800-2000 IU daily, or quite high loading doses orally or systemically of 100,000 to 300,000 IU. Was their negative assessment justified or were the studies flawed? Would taking a 5000 to 10,000 IU dose of vitamin D3 daily, give significant benefit for healing bone fractures?
