#supplements #HectorLopez #DrGundry When it comes to supplements, I'm a HUGE nerd. In fact, I use dozens of supplements every single day – and they have a major impact on the way I look and feel. But the truth is, it wasn't always that way. In fact, I used to joke that supplements only made for expensive urine. And while I've changed my opinion — it's TRUE that not all supplements are created equal. Unfortunately, some of the supplements you’ll find on store shelves aren't all they’re cracked up to be. Which is why high-quality supplements are so important — they can have a DRAMATIC effect on your health and longevity and are WELL worth the time and money.
