Guest guest Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 There is an important concept, which is called the " interdependency factor " . The carbohydrate, protein and fatty acids are called the macro-nutrients (the big nutrients). The minerals, vitamins and enzymes are called micro-nutrients. There is interdependency between the two. Taking mega-doses of a certain vitamin or mineral, instead of looking at the whole food, just won't work in your body. For example, if you take some essential amino acids, that just won't work in your body without vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. So in order for the protein to be assimilated and turn into amino acids, you have to have all the escort molecules of vitamins, minerals and enzymes attached to it. And in order for your body to use the vitamins, minerals and enzymes, it needs macro-nutrients (which are also escort molecules) attached to them so that the body can make use of the vitamins, minerals and enzymes. So think about whole food supplementation, not bits and pieces of synthetic/isolated pills that are never found like that in nature.
