Whole food nutritional therapy vs. Isolated extracts of synthetic vitamin formulas: Learn the Difference

 Nutrients are best utilized by the body if they are in their whole food & enzymatically alive/active state. Therefore whole food concentrates are the best solution to address nutrient deficiencies. Isolated inorganic minerals no matter how the product claims to be assimilable. Nature has an intelligence and each wholefood in the product line I passionately educate about contains nutrients which benefit and work with every other nutrient contained within that food, which makes the whole more beneficial for the body than the sum of its parts.

The QC is not what it originally was for the Garden of Life (GOL) brand & many others prior to each of their mergers/acquisitions. GOL for example went FYI from 10 to over 100 products within a 4 year time frame! The QC is not what it originally was.  The vast majority of vitamins are isolated supplements; NONE of the products I recommend are synthetic, and this is huge. A vitamin is allowed to be called “NATURAL” as long as it “Matches” on a chemical level, some nutrient.  This means it can be wholly synthesized from non food ingredients. And another thing—some whole food supplements are all marketing and not truths because they’re also allowed to label as whole foods
​
The whole food products I recommend have from one whole food to no more than 10 foods in each product and these
foods are from the same food groups like different mushrooms, different sprouts or different algae in separate whole food supplements.

​Here’s an example of an algae whole food product called Wild Earth:

• Organic wheat sprouts
• Organic red clover sprouts
• Organic kale sprouts
• Organic microalgae
• Dunaliella extract (red algae)

What I’m trying to explain here is that when you are buying a whole food product, it should be a whole food product with a few ingredients of the same food family. 

Cultured whole food vitamins:
The reason is that the ingredients are not made from real foods.  The way they produce such vitamins is as follows:  They combine a synthesized vitamin with a plant in which the vitamin can grow and they introduce growth agents (sugars) as well as specific peptides.  This way they can create "cultured whole food" vitamins.   It is more affordable and more concentrated than normal vitamins in real foods.
 
To me this is not real foods from nature.  These are lab made foods.  I prefer whole food supplements from real foods that are simply dehydrated at low temperature.  Yes, they are more expensive but these supplements at least are from real foods not lab made vitamins.

1.  The perfect balance of vitamins and minerals is judged, in the body, in micro amounts. Adding too much of one will totally displace the ability of another, making the whole less than the separates. The intelligence of nature is just that!
2. Nutrients are best utilized by the body if they are in their whole food & enzymatically alive/active state. Therefore whole food concentrates are the best solution to address nutrient deficiencies. Isolated inorganic minerals no matter how the product claims to be assimilable. Nature has an intelligence and each wholefood in the product line I passionately educate about contains nutrients which benefit and work with every other nutrient contained within that food, which makes the whole more beneficial for the body than the sum of its parts.
3. The products must be from organically grown foods or wildcrafted and should not be heated beyond 104 degrees so the enzymes continue to be active.

 
The products I recommend are pure whole foods.  Whole food supplements means that the products contain real whole foods, which are dried at low temperatures and minimally processed in order to retain the integrity of the micronutrients they contain. 
 
New Earth, the manufacturer of the line of products I recommend operates with the philosophy that nature has an intelligence and each whole food contains nutrients which benefit and work with every other nutrient contained within that food, which makes the whole more beneficial for the body than the sum of its parts. 
NATURE is the intelligence for our health; Nothing Mimics the intelligence of nature as nature itself!
 
 
The products are vastly different than the majority of vitamins or isolated supplements on the market shelves. First, none of the products I recommend are synthetic, and this is huge. A vitamin is allowed to be called, "natural" as long as it matches, on a chemical level, some nutrient. This means it can be wholly synthesized from non-food ingredients. A great example is vitamin C. In nature, it is always contained in a food that also has a complete complex of C vitamins as well as rutin or bioflavonoids. In synthesized or isolated form, it is almost completely unusable by the body. Most all of the vitamin C sold in the market today are made from ascorbic acid which is synthetically produced from corn sugar (glucose).
 
NO lab formula can mimic the myriad of nutrients and interactions found in whole foods, especially the ancient foods upon which life as we know it is derived.
A whole Foods Formula nourishes and stimulates your brain.  Fuel your cells for an unparalleled health advantage for the innate intelligence of your immune system to function at its optimal ability/level.
 
 
One more thing, this is a response I sent to one of my clients considering Garden of Life multi product:
 
The ingredients are not made from real foods.  The way they produce such vitamins is as follows:  They combine  a synthesized vitamin with a plant in which the vitamin can grow and they introduce growth agents (sugars) as well as specific peptides.  This way they can create "cultured whole food" vitamins.   It is more affordable and more concentrated than normal vitamins in real foods. 
 
Here’s what Judith DeCava, MS say about manufacturing vitamins in labs. 
“…food supplements are produced by adding isolated chemical nutrients to a liquid broth containing yeast. The chemicals are incorporated into the yeast as it grows. Then the yeast is dried and the residue is pressed into tablets along with herbs, dried foods, and other common manufacturing substances. The yeast-bound nutrients are no different than fractionated chemical supplements, with perhaps better absorption. The concept is still pharmacological—one could just as easily place aspirin or antibiotic in growing yeast and produce a drug-food”.
 
To me this is not real foods from nature.  These are lab made foods.  I prefer whole food supplements from real foods that are simply dehydrated at low temperature.  Yes, they are more expensive but these supplements at least are from real foods not lab made vitamins.
 
 I like the simplicity of just one nutrient rich food like the organic microalgae. When your digestive system is dysfunctional, putting 30+ ingredients in the gut of different lab made foods is too much to process.
 
Keep in mind….even one of the ‘better’ lines out there doesn't have enzymes, algae, mushrooms and antioxidants like earth (baby sprouts) and co-EnzymeQ10.  All are very important for healing and keeping the body in the best shape.  I consider New Earth to be the only  company in the world that has everything you need to heal in one company; Nutrigenomics at its best!.”
