Millions of people are choosing supplements to help meet their dietary needs. In order to achieve optimum nutrition we need to consume 6-8 servings of whole foods a day. Our bodies need whole foods to maintain health, healing, immunity and prevention. Unfortunately, few people manage to consume the recommended daily amount of fruits, vegetables, grains, seeds and nuts. These contain nutrients our bodies need and crave for healthy function. Whole food supplements can be an effective way to ensure a healthy diet and prevent nutritional deficiencies and the symptoms that are associated with them.

Our bodies were made to absorb nutritional substances from food. Most over the counter vitamins and supplements are synthetic, meaning they contain chemical substances that have been produced to mimic the molecular structure of natural vitamins. Synthetic vitamins can have a drug-like effect as our body tries to compensate for missing components. Unlike synthetic vitamins, whole food supplements:

*do not contain chemicals, additives, synthetic or isolate ingredients

*only contain nutrition found in complete whole foods

*do not contain sea shell, rock or coral derivatives

*contain homeopathic minerals

*offer a lacto-vegetarian formula

We are exposed to toxins from the air we breathe to the food we eat. Organic whole foods can provide the nutrition our bodies need without the chemicals or toxins found in foods today. With todays busy lifestyle, the demand for convenience foods are at an all time high. These foods are chemically modified and processed to the point of little or no nutritional value.

Not all of us have access to whole food markets that carry organic choices or maintain diets that provides us with complete nutrition. If you are falling short of meeting your bodies nutritional needs, talk to your health care provider about the benefits of organic whole food supplements.
