Natural VitaminsFood Based VitaminsNatural vitamins or food based vitamins are the necessary form our bodies require. We are designed to absorb our nutrients from the foods we eat. Our modern diet consists of processed foods, fruits and vegetables that are harvested before they ripen and just plain artificial foods. In order to artificially ripen produce, they are subjected to gasses, chemicals and colorings to make the foods appear ripened. Food additives like preservatives, artificial flavorings, colorings and such destroy some of the nutrition of our foods. In the case of animals, they are grain fed (should be grass fed), subjected to antibiotics, immunizations, hormones and unhealthy living conditions, all of which affect the quality of their meat. Besides taking away from the foods nutrition, these artificial additives are stressing and loading our bodies with toxins. Vitamins are organic substances that act as coenzymes (enablers) and regulators of metabolic processes. Vitamins are essential to the normal functioning of our bodies, and except for a few exceptions, cannot be made by our bodies. Adequate nutrition information is not stressed in our schools, by our health care providers or media. Vitamins are necessary for growth and vitality. There are 13 known vitamins (vitamins A, B1, B2, niacin, pantothenic acid, B6, folic acid, B12, biotin, C, D, E, and K). The ability to provide our bodies with sufficient vitamins is critical to our overall health and well-being as it is impossible to sustain life without all the essential vitamins. Optimum nutrition gives our bodies everything they need for optimal health. Super nutrition vitamins ensure nutrition wellness. In the past mankind obtained all of our vitamins from our diet, as we primarily consumed naturally ripened fresh fruit and vegetables. Today, however, that has changed dramatically, as we now consume a diet of ever increasing amounts of processed foods that are seriously lacking in essential vitamins. The problem is further complicated by the fact that many of the fruits and vegetables we do consume are not fresh, nor have they been allowed to ripen naturally. Fruit in particular is often picked unripe from the tree and ripened with ethylene gas before it is delivered to your store. It has been estimated that the average artificially ripened fruits and vegetables purchased in supermarkets today have less than 50% of the total vitamin content that our great-grandparents consumed 60 years ago. The reduction of the consumption of naturally occurring vitamins has lead to a wide range of vitamin deficiency related health problems. These problems range from simply annoying (dry hair or hair falling out), to extremely serious (Anemia, Beriberi, Pellagra, Rickets and Scurvy). While most vitamin deficiencies do not occur overnight, most can be corrected by supplementing with a top quality vitamin supplement. We are continually amazed at the fact that while many doctors will advise their patients to take a vitamin supplement to correct a deficiency problem that has occurred, very few of them seem to be aware of the powerful preventative effects that vitamins have on the body. This is probably due to the fact that no pharmaceutical drug company representitive will ever visit doctors to convince them to prescribe vitamins, as they cannot make their exorbitant profit levels on vitamin products. The average person today has two choices when it comes to obtaining optimum amounts of vitamins. They can either obtain and eat enough organically grown, naturally ripened fresh fruit and vegetables or take a top quality vitamin supplement on a daily basis. Very few people have the first option available so supplementation makes the most sense. There are 13 known vitamins. They Are:
Vitamin A (as Natural Beta Carotene) B Vitamins There are 72 necessary minerals, most are only needed in trace amounts. These minerals act as catalysts for almost every chemical reaction in the body.
