NUTRACEUTICALS

​

Vitamins and minerals are micronutrients essential to life and and necessary for normal cell function, growth and development. They are therefore essential to good health.

​

WHY SUPPLEMENT

​

Evidence shows that the nutrient content of foods fluctuates widely depending on soil and growing conditions. It is also true that some of the nutrients in fruits and vegetables begin to diminish once they are picked. When much of our fruits and vegetables have been harvested sometimes weeks or even months before we actually consume them, by the time they reach our plate they have often lost much of their nutritional value.

​

Processed foods undergo several transformations during their production and they may be subjected to heat, light, chemicals, sterilization, freezing, extended storage, etc. These processes greatly deplete their nutrient content.

​

Environmental pollution in air, food, water, earth, the environement in general has increased. Our bodies have to work much harder to counteract and detoxify these chemicals from our systems.

​

Many people today suffer from chronic health conditions and therefore may be using pharmaceutical drugs on a daily basis for several years or even during their whole lives. Some of these drugs interact with nutrients causing depletions.

​

Aging, while a normal part of life, is sometimes accompanied by reduced efficiency in digesting and absorbing nutrients from foods. Furthermore, some older people may simply be undernourished.

​

Some people are at a higher risk of developing certain illnesses due to their genetics, family history or their personal conditions.
