Supplement of the Month: B-Complex Vitamins

February 11, 2019 by Santa Cruz CORE Leave a Comment

“B-complex” is a name that describes all water-soluble vitamins, with the exception of vitamin C. Storage of water-soluble vitamins is very limited. However, their daily intake is important to prevent deficiency. As a result, because these vitamins get washed-out daily their toxicity is unlikely, although not impossible.   Why Mix B-Vitamins? B-complex supplements vary in […]

The Importance of Early Nutrition

January 29, 2019 by Jaimi Jansen Leave a Comment

As an adult, it can be hard to take on the habits of healthy eating. This is especially true for those who grew-up eating fast food, snacking, and with very little physical activity.

sugar santa cruz core

Excess sugar intake is associated with weight gain, type 2 diabetes, and poor health. What is worse it is that sugar is everywhere and in everything.

microbes santa cruz core

The human body is only about 10% human cells. The other 90% are microbial cells, most of which reside in the gut.
