I started a newsletter called Secondary Effects.
10 years in clinical practice. 20 in venture. Co-founded a health tech company. Wrote a satirical novel about pharma.

I'm writing about what I'm actually seeing at the intersection of health and technology.

First post is live.

The experience of socialized medicine in the US will be like going to a DMV run by Big Pharma. Can’t wait.

🚫 Polyethylene Glycol (PEG): Industrial chemical. Used in laxatives and disrupts microbiome
🚫 Maltodextrin: Cheap filler that spikes blood sugar. Messes with your microbiome
🚫 Modified Food Starch, Croscarmellose Sodium: Ultra-processed binders

[Andrew Brandeis, ND @mostlyH2O]

💡 What to take instead?
•Methylated B vitamins
•Highly bioavailable minerals
•No PEG, maltodextrin, or synthetic excipients
•Real 3rd-party testing
•Designed for absorption, not shelf life

Why this multivitamin is worse than useless, and what i tell my patients instead.

[Andrew Brandeis, ND @mostlyH2O]

💩 Calcium Carbonate
The cheapest, least bioavailable form
💩 Folic Acid
A synthetic version that can block folate receptors in 1/3 of people .
💩 Magnesium and Zinc Oxide
~4% bioavailability. Mostly just causes diarrhea.
💩 Ferrous Fumarate
Harsh on the gut, causes constipation
