Nearly all are synthesized by the same huge pharmaceutical/chemical plants that the material for drugs come from # coal tar, petroleum, discarded animal by-products, powdered rocks and shells. Rarely are they derived from fresh raw vegetables and organic grains, carefully dried and powdered, free from the additions of such fillers as starch, lactose, soy, magnesium sulfate, etc. What is vitamin B-12 made from? Vitamin B-12 comes from one of two sources # ground up cow#s liver which has been overloaded with steroids, antibiotics and the herbicides/pesticides in the feed the cow eats. The second source is activated sewage sludge # fecal matter. It's high in B-12 and inexpensive to obtain. All such manufacturers and their lab people consider that a vitamin is a vitamin # where it comes from is irrelevant as long as the public doesn't know and form an #emotional aversion÷ to it. The rest of the B vitamins are processed from coal tar and petroleum chemicals. How are mineral supplements usually processed? Nutrient manufacturers take mineral ore and pulverize it into a fine powder. These are known as metallic minerals. 98% of it cannot be assimilated by the digestive system. Only plant derived minerals are nutrients for the body # we can get our iron from grapes and green leafy vegetables but not from ground-up rocks! There are deposits here and there on the planet of plant-derived minerals from ages past when lush vegetation was suddenly buried and preserved underground. The minerals in these deposits are water-soluble and that is why they are usually sold as liquid supplements. They are mostly valuable for all the many trace elements they contain rather than providing adequate supplementation of the main minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium and iron that we need in fairly large amounts. These macro-nutrients can be gotten from a diet of plants, which also provide all of the other co-factors that enable the body to benefit from the minerals. Cofactors are enzymes, vitamins, and other minerals that must be present when the body needs certain minerals in nutrition. BIO-CHEMISTS AND NUTRITIONISTS HAVE RECOGNIZED FOR SOME TIME THAT IT IS FAR MORE EFFECTIVE TO PROVIDE THE BODY WITH A BROAD SPECTRUM OF NUTRIENTS WITH NO EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF ANY ONE OF THEM, RATHER THAN TO ADMINISTER MEGA-DOSES OF ONE OR SEVERAL ISOLATED NUTRIENTS. MEGA-DOSES OF INDIVIDUAL NUTRIENTS CAN CAUSE DEFICIENCIES IN OTHER NUTRIENTS AND THIS PRACTICE IS COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE.Nutritional fads can also be dangerous because of the consumption ofa large amount of trace elements that we need very little of, or not at all,such as the latest silver and chromium fads.What you want is a naturally blended combination of unrefined food sourceswhich provide you with vitamins, minerals, amino acids and essential trace nutrients. The key is that all of the ingredients come directly fromnature and in an unprocessed form. A powerful natural, whole-foodnutritional supplement will provide the foundation for any health program.VITAL NUTRITION PLUS (OR COMPLETE NUTRITION OR SUPER NUTRITION IN THE FILES)Organic and Wild Harvested Herbal Vitamin and Mineral Food ConcentrateThis is a blend of whole foods to supply you with the vitamins, minerals, amino-acids and trace elements that is often lacking in the Standard American Diet. There are no man-made synthetic ingredients in this product. A natural food supplement such as this is vital to any health program to ensure the nutrients needed to build and repair body functions are adequately present. Let's take a look at what makes VNP (OR SUPER NUTRITION)so powerful and effective, and rememberthat these are nature's nutrients, not synthetic vitamins. All ingredientsare from the richest whole food sources on the planet.**Spirulina Blue-Green Algae**Spirulina Organically grown in Hawaii using water pumped very deep from the ocean. This algea supplies high amount of the B Vitamin complex (particularly B12 as well as minerals, and a soft cell wall so it can be digested more easily. **Chlorella**Chlorella is another form of algae, to give you a further concentration of nutrition. Its cell wall is cracked to aid digestibility. **Alfalfa, Barley and Wheat Grasses**These grain grasses are widely famous for being very high sources of vitamins, minerals and chlorophyll. **Purple Dulse Seaweed**Sea weeds provide minerals and trace elements in abundant supply that can be assimilated by the body. No fishy taste with this particular sea weed. **Beet Root and Spinach Leaf**Together these plants provide a great source of organic iron, calcium and vitamin K - all needed for such tasks as blood building and pH balance. **Rose Hips. Orange and Lemon Peels**These provide bioflavonoids, rutin, hesperidin, pectin and minerals needed to ensure the body can assimilate vitamin C and other nutrients. **NON Active Saccharomyces cerevisiae Nutritional Yeast** (WHICH IS IN SUPER NUTRITION BUT NOT IN COMPLETE NUTRITION)This yeast is completely non active and therefore safe for people needing yeast free diets. It is also high as a protein source (50% protein) and very high as a source of B complex vitamins. Two rounded tablespoons of the "NUTRITION", added to your favorite juice or blender drink, gives you vitamins and minerals you can assimilate easily - within 15 minutes, as a matter of fact, if taken with fresh squeezed juice on an empty stomach. Four rounded tablespoons per day, and practically everybody notices benefits within a few days. Suzi What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered. www.onegrp.com/?mamanott organic cosmetics http://suziesgoats.wholefoodfarmacy.com/__________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
