Should Your Vitamin and Mineral Supplements Be Made from 100% FOOD or 

Industrial Chemicals?

Amazingly, 98.97% of people who take so-called 'natural' vitamin products are taking vitamins that are composed of petroleum derivatives, oils, hydrogenated acetone-processed sugars, and/or irradiated animal fats. And nearly all of the people who take mineral products are taking minerals which are crushed rocks processed with industrial chemicals.

University studies* demonstrate that FOOD Nutrients are Better!

• No amount of isolated ascorbic acid will ever have the anti-glycation properties of DHA or the negative Oxidative Reduction
  Potential (ORP) of FOOD vitamin C. Research has proven that the body can only convert 266-400 mcg of folic acid (folic acid is always synthetic) into usable methylfolate per day, leaving any remaining folic acid to be absorbed into the body causing potential disorders of folate metabolism.
• The "chlorides", "acetates", "phosphates", "sulfates" and other binding substances in so-called "natural" minerals either accumulate in
  the body or must be disposed of-where is the wisdom in subject­ing your body to that?
• FOOD™ brand products never have binders or non-food fillers which place a load on the body to eliminate them.
• FOOD selenium has been shown to be nearly twice as retained as non-food selenium.

Give your body the FOOD it needs and deserves!

All the vitamins and minerals in FOOD™ brand products are 100% FOOD. Unless your supplement company is willing to tell you that its vitamins and minerals are 100% food and contain no unnatural isolates, their products are not FOOD. FOOD™ brand vitamins and minerals come from these vegetarian foods: Acerola cherry, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, horsetail and other herbs, kelp, nutritional yeast, oranges, rice, and water thyme. FOOD™ brand products contain no isolated USP (United States Pharma­copoeia) vitamins or industrial mineral salts. FOOD™ brand vitamins are the real choice for FOOD vitamin and mineral supplementation.

We invite you to visit our website for more scientific information on the wisdom of consuming FOOD nutrients vs. industrial chemicals.

IF YOUR SUPPLEMENT IS NOT 100% FOOD, DO YOU REALLY WANT TO SWALLOW IT?

* DID YOU KNOW:  With the exception of chromium GTF (which occurs in living organisms), two-word mineral descriptions on supplement labels (i.e. calcium phosphate, magnesium carbonate) are referring to some type of industrially-processed rock and not a mineral form found in food.  Minerals in foods are in elemental forms with protein chaperones (not chemically-bound like industrially-processed rocks). ________________________________________________________________
How To Read Your Vitamin Labels The structural and chemical forms of Food and synthetic nutrients are normally different. Read the label of any supplement to see if the product is truly 100% Food. If any Non-Food vitamin analogue is listed, then the entire product is probably not Food (normally it will be less than 5% Food). Vitamin analogues are cheap (or not so cheap) imitations of vitamins found in foods.   Vitamin Food Nutrient Non·Food Vitamin Analogue* Vitamin A/ Retinyl esters; mixed carotenoids. Vitamin A acetate; vitamin A palmitate  Betacarotene betacarotene (isolated). Vitamin B-1 Thiamin pyrophosphate (food). Thiamin mononitrate; thiamin hydrochloride; thiamin HCL. Vitamin B-2 Riboflavin, multiple forms (food). Riboflavin (isolated); Non·Food vitamin B2. Vitamin B-3 Niacinamide (food). Niacin (isolated); niacinamide (isolated). Vitamin B-5 Pantothenate (food). Panthothenic acid; calcium pantothenate. Vitamin B-6 5'0 (beta-D) pyridoxine. Pyridoxine hydrochloride; pyridoxine HCL. Vitamin B-9 Folate. Folic acid. Vitamin B-12 Methylcobalamin; Cyanocobalamin; hydroxycobalamin. deoxyadenosylcobalamin. Vitamin C Ascorbate; dehydroascorbate. Ascorbic acid; most mineral ascorbates. Vitamin D Mixed forms, primarily D3. Vitamin 01 (isolated); Vitamin 02 (isolated); Vitamin 03 (isolated) ; Vitamin 04 (isolated); ergosterol (isolated); cholecalciferol (isolated); lumisterol. Vitamin E RRR·alpha·tocopherol (food). Vitamin E acetate; most mixed tocopherols; all·rac·alpha·tocopherol; d-|--alpha-tocopherol; d-alpha-tocopherol (isolated); di·alpha-tocopheryl acetate; all acetate forms. Vitamin "H" Biotin. All non-yeast or non-rice vegetarian forms. Vitamin K Phylloquinone. Vitamin K3; menadione; phytonadione; synthetic naphthoquinone. * Note: This list is not complete and new analogues are being developed all the time. Also the term '(isolated)" means that if the word "food" is not near the name of the substance, it is an isolate (normally crystalline in structure) and is not the same as the true vitamin found in food.   What Is Your Vitamin, Really?    Vitamin Food Nutrient Non·Food Vitamin Analogue and Some Process Chemicals Vitamin A/ Carrots Methanol, benzene, petroleum esters; refined oils.  Betacarotene Vitamin B-1 Nutritionalyeast,rice bran.

How To Read Your Mineral Labels   With the exception of Chromium GTF (which is the form in which chromium is found in food), if the minerals are listed using two words (such as calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, chromium picolinate, magnesium oxide, or zinc chloride), then the minerals in your supplement are commercially processed rocks.

Food of the Week . . . Sea Vegetables

Did you know that sea vegetables almost perfectly match the mineral composition of human blood? Consider the facts that our earth is about 60% water (primarily oceans), and our bodies are also about 60% water (fluids in and around our cells, and our blood). The mineral content of sea vegetables reflects the mineral profile of the oceans in which they grow, and virtually no other category of food contains as diverse a mineral content as is found in sea vegetables.It's also difficult to find any category of food whose overall mineral composition better matches that of human blood. The nutritional uniqueness of sea vegetables also involves a category of nutrients called sulfated polysaccharides. This category of carbohydrate-related nutrients, also called fucans, has been studied for its anti-inflammatory properties, and fucan extracts from brown sea vegetables have been found to lower inflammatory activities of key human proteins involved in inflammation called complement proteins.

Is it better to eat non-organic fruit than no fruit at all?

Kelp - helps regulate thyroid gland, healthy skin and hair

Kelp is a seaweed that extracts components from seawater and concentrates them

in its frond-shaped leaves, making it an abundant source of vitamins and minerals like iodine, potassium, magnesium, calcium and iron. One of the benefits claimed for kelp is that its abundance of vitamins and minerals can promote healthy hair and skin.

However, kelp is mostly taken for its naturally high iodine content, which helps the functioning of the thyroid gland. Iodine is essential for the formation of thyroid hormones, which regulate the body's energy production, promote growth and development, and help burn excess fat. 

Natural food sources of iodine include seafood, bread, dairy foods and salt, and kelp supplements may help anyone who avoids these foods in their daily diet.

The thinking behind taking kelp is that in some parts of the world, thyroid disease is related to iodine deficiency. In fact, in the US and most developed countries, iodine deficiency is rare; and because thyroids are extremely sensitive to iodine, you must avoid taking too much.

People who eat excessive amounts of raw cabbage or nuts (which reduce the body's uptake of iodine) may find supplements useful if their iodine intake remains otherwise low. Deficiencies can be treated with 150 micrograms of iodine daily. Prolonged use of large amounts of iodine (6 mg or more daily) may suppress activity of the thyroid gland. A safe upper limit of iodine is 1000 micrograms per day.

CONSTITUENTS

Similar to several seaweeds, kelp (Ascophyllum Nodosum) is packed with lots of nutriments that aid in sustaining optimal health. Kelp contains elevated concentrations of iodine, iron, potassium, calcium and manganese and many other nutrients. It also contains over 11 different vitamins, as many as 20 amino acids and about 60 essential minerals.

Culinary uses

Kelp is also used for culinary purposes and traditionally it has been used in the form of a vital food, particularly when there is a dearth of foodstuff.

You may boil this oceanic vegetable to prepare a soup stock and extract and eat the seaweed from it along with salads or other dishes. In addition, you may also dry up seaweeds and pulverize them into a powder and use it in your cooking.

It may be noted here that alginic acid that is used in different food preparations is actually prepared with extracts obtained from Ascophyllum Nodosum.
