WHY SUPPLEMENT? WHY TAKE A DAILY VITAMIN/MINERAL SUPPLEMENT?

Vitamins and minerals are the building blocks of health. Our body makes no minerals and sadly the soil has been depleted of precious minerals from improper crop rotation, over-pesticide use and damaging UV rays from holes in the ozone layer.

The National Institute of Health has stated that every person needs DAILY supplements to maintain health and boost the immune system.

#1 side effect of malnutrition is obesity. WHY? Because the brain keeps sending signals to eat to secure precious vitamins, minerals and water. What does the average American reach for when they are hungry? Do they reach for broccoli, Brussels sprouts or cabbage and a glass of water? NO
- they reach for a carbohydrate (which turns to sugar in the body). Looks like a vicious cycle, don't you think?

WHY DO PEOPLE TAKE VITAMINS AND STILL NOT FEEL BETTER?

Because, in most cases, only 5 - 7% of the vitamins and minerals are absorbed into the cells. The Physician's Desk Reference Manual(PDR), which is the publication Doctor's refer readily to, states that cell
absorption of vitamins and minerals absorb at 10% or less. (i.e.if a nutrient had 100 mgs, your body would only absorb 10 mgs or less)


WHY TAKE MORE THAN THE RDA?

The RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) standard was determined in the 1940's for the soldiers going off to war - the levels were set at just enough to prevent scurvy, rickets and beriberi. Based on current, overwhelming scientific evidence, this standard is sorely inadequate - we need much more to maintain health. The new standard, ODA (Optimal Daily Allowance) is set to supply optimal daily results.
