Why use Supplements?

Many nutritional scientists point out that much of our food has been over-processed and preservatives have been added for packaging, affecting its vitamin and mineral content. Without proper nutrition, the cells of the body are less able to prevent and repair cellular damage.

"One effective way to effectively maintain health is to supplement our diets with a full range of vitamins and minerals," says Ladd McNamara, M.D., an obstetrician/gynecologist in Atlanta, GA. Ray Strand, M.D., a family practitioner in South Dakota, states, "The concern for my patients' health has led me to recommend a complete nutritional system to my patients."

Health Facts

The U.S. Department of Agriculture conducted a landmark study to find out just how many of us actually consume all the essential nutrients daily. This study helps debunk many myths about vitamin supplementation.

Myth #1 - Vitamins are not necessary, I get all I need from my food.

Our cells are not being nourished with enough of the proper nutrients from our foods, and although we are fatter than we have ever been, we are starving ourselves to death because of the lack of proper nutrients.

Myth #2 - Vitamin supplements just turn into expensive urine.

While no one really knows the optimal amount of supplementation that is beneficial for everyone, individual nutritional needs and hydration status determine your body's level of nutritional supplementation. Furthermore, high-quality vitamin supplements are 'health insurance' that provide a wide range of nutritional support for most normally healthy individuals.

Myth #3 - All vitamins are the same.

Myron Wentz, PhD (immunology and microbiology), reports, "I began testing health supplements in my analytical laboratory to measure their nutritional balance and their effectiveness in promoting and sustaining a health life. Many of the products I analyzed were not only nutritionally unbalanced but had incorrect and misleading labels. My research proved many times that what consumers thought they were buying and what they were receiving were two different things."
