Nature, in her infinite wisdom, does not produce isolated nutrients, and for good reason. Vitamins and minerals cannot and do not act as nutrients by themselves in our bodies. They must be coupled with an entire complex of other FOOD constituents in order for the body to recognize and utilize them.
Nutrients never occur as isolates in natural foods.
They are integrally related with many other natural molecules that are required for their absorption, assimilation and non-toxicity. The traditional vitamins and minerals that are offered are only a part of the whole vitamin or mineral complex. Isolated and synthetic nutrients are foreign to the body, completely unnatural, are poorly absorbed, offer incomplete results, imbalance body chemistry, deplete the body of co-factor nutrients, and usually have significant toxicities. There are problems when using this type of material. Please read on.
