Why are Food Supplements Better Than Vitamin & Mineral Supplements?

Vitamins and minerals made by man have imbalanced nutritional combinations. Nature does not grow isolated chemicals because the body needs them to be in certain combinations to fully utilize them. You have never picked in any garden, "a vitamin A." Nor have you picked "a calcium", "an iron", or "a protein". You have picked an orange, some broccoli, some lettuce, or some beans. These foods are combinations of nutrients put together by nature for your body's nourishment. No food contain only one nutrient. Each is a special little health package, which can be made only by nature. Vitamin A capsules, C tablets, iron tablets, or protein powder are not grown! They are manufacturerd in a laboratory and most often are not even remotely similar to nature's nutrients. As your body gets these doses of isolated chemicals or man-made chemical combinations, it tries to create the synergy of nutrients found in food form, and in trying to do that, the body has to pull from its own nutrient resources. Even tough it cannot make the same combinations, in trying to accomplish this, your body becomes even more imbalanceds. Nature's food combinations are put together in just the right amount for the best assimilation possible. Sunrider whole food formulas are made from whole foods with only the non-nutritive fiber and liquid removed for concentration and easy digestion. They are not broken apart, re-arranged, killed with heat, or chemically manufacturer in a laboratory. They are foods. - Extract from With so many choices ........ from Glenda Feilen.
