Whole food nutrition helps to fill the gap between what we should eat and what we actually eat. This was not to ensure that Americans had a great diet but actually to ensure that American families could feed themselves at all, while allowing most of commercial food production to be sent to the troops overseas. Studies demonstrate that our body treats isolated and synthetic nutrients like foreign substances (xenobiotics).\n\nI have used numerous vitamin supplements, and derived usually nothing from them. For example, with vitamin E, synthetic vitamins will only contain alpha tocopherols. So many supplements that are called whole food vitamins are not really 100% real whole food sourced.\n\n• Vitamin C – protects from scurvy and the symptoms that come with it – gum disease, jaundice, shortness of breath, excessive bleeding. According to health experts, eating the right combination of whole foods can provide high levels of physical fitness and dietary health.\n\nTherefore we are partnered with a company with a 40-year history; we have chosen to only sell products that create a real difference in the health and safety of those who purchase them – whether that was fire detectors that saved people’s lives in the ’70s, purifiers that cleaned people’s air and water in the ’80s or nutritional products and food-growing systems that enhance people’s health and well-being today, but we’ll get to that later.\n\nBut they add with some consideration that if you do take whole food vitamins, take the natural ones instead of the synthetic pills, compiled in labs and marketed with pomp and glitter. Calcium contained in most traditional supplements will contain only calcium carbonate or calcium citrate with the possible addition of Vitamin D or may contain D1-calcium-phosphate which is completely insoluble and cannot be absorbed.
