What You Need to Know

How whole food supplements can help to improve your health

Most of us don't eat the way we should. It's difficult to get 9-13 half-cup servings of fruit and vegetables every day.

We know we don't eat right so we want to take something that will "make up" for our lousy diet.

As a result many people decide to supplement their diets in order to maintain health.

In the section on vitamins I discussed the fact that research has consistently shown that vitamin tablets do NOT improve health (See Vitamin Supplements).

So if we need to supplement, what should we use?

Whole food supplements (food concentrates in capsules) are the next best thing to whole food.

Supplements from Juicing

I'm a big supporter of whole food supplements.

These are essentially juiced fruits and vegetables that have had the water, sugar and fiber removed, leaving the essential phytonutrients in a dried form that can be put in a capsule for convenience.

Yes, it would be great to retain the fiber.

However, it would create a capsule that was the size of a softball and more difficult to swallow.

As it is, the proprietary process utilized by the best whole food supplement results in all that nature nutrition in just two vegetable capsules, two fruit capsules and two berry concentrate capsules.

If you recognize the need to supplement your diet, this is the way to do it.

Make sure your product has independent research showing it improves your health. The paragraph on Evaluating Supplements in the Vitamin Supplements section describes how you can be sure a product has valid research.

Which Supplements are Better?

Why I am supporter of this particular supplement and not some other food concentrate?

Because of the thirteen peer-reviewed, published research articles already done on it and the eleven studies in process. These studies have been done in universities and medical research centers throughout the world.

There simply is no other nutritional supplement I've ever seen that is so committed to researching and validating its product. Without that research I have no idea what's really in those other products, or whether or not they are effective.

I choose not to gamble with my family's health.

If one of the vitamin tablets from one of the big pharmaceutical companies would improve blood flow, improve immune response, reduce serum homocysteine or protect DNA from oxidative damage like the research on this particular supplement has shown, it would be trumpeted throughout the medical establishment.

I've had my entire family on the product for five or six years and will continue to do so until research shows me there's a better way to protect the health of my family.
