which vitamin supplements are best?

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I am new to this list and joined because I want to start taking

vitamin supplements, but it is all so very confusing. How does one

dertermine which ones are best, as there are so many brand

names/manufacturers to choose from. I know some are synthetic, some

claim to be natural. How does one know? And has anyone heard of/tried

one called " the Greatest Vitamn in the World " . Which ones have been

tried and are worth paying for?

Sincerely,

Hi Kari,

 

Welcome to the

group. You are right to question

the rows and rows of vitamins on the shelves. It’s overwhelming!! I use “whole food” supplements,

which are actually foods that look like pills.

They are not synthetically made,

they are not made from isolated nutrients, they are

not mixed up by some scientist in a cauldron. That Greatest Vitamin in the World looks

good with all the stuff that’s in there – but those are all

isolated nutrients – even if they’re natural –

they’re still isolated.

Nothing is found in nature like that – mega-doses

of stuff.

 

There are very few companies that

understand the concept of how to take a nutrient-dense food and manufacture it

and put it in a supplement form without denaturing all the

nutrients and without killing the enzymes. You want to ask these questions about

your supplements to find out if it is a whole food supplement:

 

Were the vegetables, grains and fruits used in this supplement

organically

grown?

Are they free of pesticides?

Where fillers used in the supplements?

Were they heat-processed? (heat should not be used because it kills

enzymes)

 

 

A whole food supplement is

made with the best quality foods found in nature.

They will look like supplements, but

when you take these supplements, the

body recognized them as whole food.

They are not chemical

extracts or single elements, like Vitamin C or beta carotene. They are whole food. Your body will be able to use it all

because it’s whole food. You

need to get 45 “essential”

nutrients on a daily basis (essential meaning

they have to come from a food source, your body can’t make them).

 

Also – before you start on any

nutritional supplement program, you have to address the fact that digestion and assimilation

are very important, and if you aren’t digesting properly, and if your

body isn’t assimilating the nutrients properly, then no amount of

vitamins/supplements will work because your body won’t be able to use them. Plant-based enzymes and probiotics would be helpful in these situations.

Kari you must educate yourself to find which to pick.

set us consider something simple like what form should

the supplement come in. Tablet, softgel, capsule

liquid, power. Which would you choose? Should the

supplement be taken by itself or in complex form or

should the supplement be taken in a synergistic form

with other supporting supplements that work better

together? The vitamin industry a money making

industry will support all claims to make a profit. So

choose your tract change it stick to it for you will

be able to find a packaging for it in the vitamin

store.

Greatest vitamin in the world? Hardly. They adhere to the (laughable)

RDA for starters. Many minerals and vitamins require 10 or more TIMES

those levels for optimal health.

 

I've just investigated liquid vitamins; here's what I wrote for my

newspaper column...

 

 

 

Is liquid nutrition the wave of the future?

 

Body Electric

 

The concept is kind of new to some, but even back in 1996 the

Physician's Desk Reference (page 1542) stated that up to 98 percent

of liquid nutrients are absorbed by your body, unlike pills, A.K.A.

" potty bullets " at 8 percent and capsules that at best hit about 18

percent absorption. And liquid nutrients begin to absorb the minute

the liquid enters your mouth.

 

When people ask me about liquid formulas, I have to say that if I

formulated an organic liquid supplement, I'd make it like Body

Balance, a cold-processed ionic liquid derived from Aloe Vera and

nine sea vegetables. This simple but effective blend provides more

than 120 naturally occurring phytonutrients and a full complement of

trace minerals!

 

Health professionals and herbalists might be familiar with the

seaweeds Fucus, Gardneri, Ulva Latuca, Alaria Valida, Nereocystis,

Luetkeana, Laminaria, Ulva Linza, Gigarina, Costaria Costata and

Phodymenia Pertusa from the " regeneration zones " some two hundred

feet below the ocean surface. Free from herbicides, pesticides and

heavy metal contamination, those pristine zones are in a constant

state of nutrient enrichment. The nutrient concentration and

diversity of sea veggies greatly exceeds that of other food sources -

and they are in a bioavailable form that human cells can readily

utilize. Sea vegetation contains more minerals than any other kind of

food due to the action of their surface tissues as their

polysaccharides freely and selectively absorb minerals from seawater.

Seaweeds are especially rich in calcium and iodine; they also supply

chromium (essential for glucose utilization), zinc (for collagen

strength and healthy skin), iron, potassium, copper, sulphur, silver,

tin, zirconium, phosphorous, and silicon (crucial to skin

elasticity), magnesium, manganese, boron, bromides and other trace

minerals necessary for health. The protein content in sea vegetables

is excellent, and sea vegetables also provide provitamin A in the

form of Carotinoids, vitamins B, B2, B6, C, pantothenic acid, folic

acid and niacin in greater concentrations than found in fresh fruits

and vegetables. They also provide a full complement of all other

vitamins. Sea vegetation is clearly one of the most powerful whole

foods on this planet, and in liquid form they are more accessible,

convenient and palatable.

 

But it doesn't end there; there's Aloe Vera in the formula too;

Aloe is considered to be one of the most beneficial and useful

botanicals on earth. Even after decades of study, researchers

continue to be impressed with new findings on this member of the lily

family. It contains many biologically active molecules with many

important health-supporting effects; for example, the various

polysaccharide chain lengths produce a range of positive biological

effects such increasing the white blood cell count like Reishii and

Echinacea do, modulating the immune response, and exerting direct

suppression of pathogenic organisms. Called the " Wand of Heaven " by

ancient Americans because of its amazing regeneration properties

(about 4 times normal healing speed), Aloe contains over 75

nutritional compounds; it is an excellent source of vitamins B1, B2,

B6, C, niacinamide, choline and 18 amino acids, and it is also one of

the rare vegetable sources of vitamin B12. Aloe Vera is revered for

its cleansing properties, and it has been used by some of the most

recognized names in history, including Cleopatra and Alexander the

Great. The Aloe in Body Balance is certified organic by the

International Aloe Science Council.

 

Body Balance even contains natural fiber, and diabetic-healthy

Stevia is the main sweetener. Potassium benzoate and potassium

sorbate are used to preserve the delicate cold-processed nutrients.

For those needing extra calcium, magnesium, boron and zinc,

OsteoProCare is an option. Many people take both. Interestingly

enough, these nutritional products often produce a healing reaction

as people recover from illness. Not bad action for food products;

health professionals interpret and embrace that as one sign the

client is getting better.

 

I think people who were looking for and understand the value of

natural, organic, liquid nutrients will be glad they heard of this

super food. Try a free bottle of Body Balance (you only pay shipping)

by going online to lifeforcefamily.com and entering distributor Lisa

Hendra's reference 20466341. Bioavailability rules, and I don't think

most of us will be buying tablets and pills for long.

 

If you can't get online easily for your free bottle, if you want

several bottles or OsteoProCare or just you need more information,

give distributor Joan Eis a call at (250) 479-3395.
