WHY SUPPLEMENT?
A good quality vitamin and mineral supplement creates a sound micronutrient foundation to accompany a balanced diet. According to the World Health Organization “Nutrition is the foundation for health and development. Better nutrition means stronger immune systems, less illness and better health. Healthy children learn better. Healthy people are stronger, more productive. Better nutrition is a milestone to achieving better quality of life.”
Vitamins and minerals help to support a healthy immune system, promote the conversion of food into energy, support a healthy cardiovascular system, support strong bones, promote mental clarity, maintain normal metabolic functioning, promote healthy growth and repair of tissues, help maintain normal blood pressure and help maintain water and electrolyte balance in the body. There is no substitute for a healthy, well-balanced diet; however, in today’s fast-paced lifestyles it is important to ensure the body is getting the fuel it needs.
With our soils being depleted by mono-crops and lacking in minerals and nutrients, our produce no longer has the vitamin and nutrient content that it did in the past. Most of our food sources are not whole foods, made from real, nature-based ingredients, most are processed and filled with chemicals and preservatives not nourishing our bodies or giving us all that we need to function properly and thrive. We also don’t eat like our ancestors did, who incorporated organ meats, fermented and raw foods. A nutrient dense diet paired with high quality supplements is the most comprehensive approach.
