What the plant needs to grow, and what the human needs to be healthy are not completely the same. Protective levels of nutrients like vitamin E are nearly impossible to receive from food alone, without supplementation. A recent Readers Digest article mentions a daily intake of 400 IU of vitamin E as an optimal level for protecting the heart from degenerative disease. For optimal health over the long run, we need to protect ourselves nutritionally from environmental pollutants. Glutathione looms large in the body's natural processes for detoxifying and eliminating poisonous substances, as well as maintaining a strong immune system, and proper energy metabolism.
Optimal nutrition needs to be a balance of many naturally occurring food substances.
The research continually supports the notion that moderate amounts of a full set of essential nutrients is better than a megadose of any single one. Our products incorporate all this knowledge and wisdom by combining a large set of complimentary nutrients, and separating the antagonistic ones so the body has a chance to incorporate them all. Convenience is another important issue. We solve this problem by appropriately combining supplements into tablets and capsules, and then bagging them into daily packets. These packets maintain freshness.
