Is Your Body Getting the Nutrients It Needs From the Foods You Eat?
It is well understood that farmland soil has much less of the essential minerals today than it used to and that people no longer get anywhere near sufficient quantities of the needed nutrition from food.
The nutrient quantity in food has been continuously decreasing over the years due to modern farming techniques, processing, transportation, as well as the concern of food producers to make the food look good on the shelf rather than being concerned about the quality of the food.
These factors, combined with poor food choices and imbalanced diets, all contribute to an inadequate intake of vital nutrients.
Getting additional vitamins and minerals (supplements) is essential in the modern world. There are, however, significant differences in the quality and efficiency of different supplements.
What Are Isolated Chemical
Vitamins and Minerals?
The vitamins and minerals found in fruits, vegetables, meat and dairy are not the same as the "vitamins" and "minerals" you buy off the shelves of your local health food shop or pharmacy. Not even close!
So where do these "vitamins" and "minerals" in the health food shops or pharmacies come from? They are created in chemical plants or are ground up mineral salts that are mined from the earth by mineral companies.
For example, most of the vitamin C sold in the US is ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid is a man-made chemical found nowhere in nature. There is no ascorbic acid in an orange, tomato or broccoli, or any fresh fruit or vegetable.
Ascorbic acid is manufactured in chemical plants by adding chemicals to glucose (sugar), applying heat and pressure, which converts the glucose to ascorbic acid. Not exactly like drinking orange juice, is it?
Read the labels of your calcium supplement and you will be amazed to see that most calcium supplements are in the form of calcium carbonate. This is an inorganic form of calcium. It typically comes from ground-up limestone, sea shells, or coral.
For example, would you rather get your iron from a nail or a raspberry? Your body cannot get proper nutrition from inorganic minerals, it is designed to get nutrition from living plants, like the raspberry.
The bottom line is that most "vitamins" and "minerals" that you find on store shelves, are just man-made chemicals. They are nothing like the whole food vitamins and minerals found in fresh fruits, vegetables and meat!
Why
Are the Nutrients We Offer So
Different From Any Others?
The
vitamins found in food are combined together on a molecular
level with lipids (fats), carbohydrates, proteins, bioflavonoids
and other food factors.

WSN® Vitamins and Minerals are much better absorbed, utilized and retained by the body because they are a whole food as compared to an unnatural isolated chemical. The body is designed to digest food, not chemicals.
