Whole Food Multivitamin

When diets are lacking fruits and veggies a quality whole food multivitamin  helps to fill the gaps.

Our food sources are not very good these days, they can actually be causing harm with all the toxins.  With farmers using GMO grains, cows eating who knows what in the feedlots and chickens never seeing the light of day there is no way we are eating healthy real food.  In reality we should get all the vitamins and minerals we need from food.  This isn’t likely to happen, even for the most dedicated foodie or health nut.

Who needs multivitamin supplements?  Almost everyone can benefit from taking whole food vitamins even the health fanatics.  This is a very small sample of who should supplement with good natural vitamins.

• Regular junk food eaters
• Smokers
• Teenagers
• Athletics
• Seniors
• People suffering compromised  immune
• People who don’t eat fruits and veggies
• People who eat fast food
• Sick people

What are the differences in synthetic vitamins verses natural or whole food multivitamins?

There are many studies showing that vitamins are not helpful, are a waste of money and can cause health problems.  What you don’t read in many of these studies is that the vitamins used for testing are actually synthetic, man and lab created chemicals.

Whole food vitamins are food sourced ingredients.  In other words the whole food supplements are made using the whole fruit and vegetable.  It keeps all the nutrients and vitamins intact for your body to gain some real nutrition.

Your body can’t use synthetics in the same way as real food nutrients.  There are also several online articles showing how vitamin pills end up stuck in your colon because they don’t dissolve.  Not a nice thought and not a health benefit of taking vitamins.

Before you take another Centrum multivitamin read this report Are Your Vitamins Safe? By Heidi Dulay, Ed.D., N.C.,

There are several things to check the labels for when looking to buy vitamin supplement.  Read the ingredients.  If it’s synthetic it will list its chemical name instead of a fruit or vegetable.

Look for additives such as starch, preservatives such as sodium nitrite, and artificial colors such as FD&C Blue.  I’ve yet to understand why a women’s multivitamin needs artificial colors added!

You have a true whole food multivitamin if the ingredients are listed as real food.  The food sources will be listed something like this, Vitamin C from oranges, food herbs such as parsley and garlic, berries such as blueberry and digestive enzymes such as papain and protease.

Whole food supplements add nutrients that might get lost in produce laced with pesticides, traveling for miles to get to your plate or genetically modified fruits and veggies.

Keep this in mind – whole food multis do not take the place of trying to eat right, you can’t eat lousy and pop a pill to make it all OK.  And whole food vitamins are not the same as eating the fruits and veggies so if someone says “it’s just like eating the real thing” it’s just not true.

When shopping for best multivitamin supplement you won’t find it at Walmart or any discount drug store shelf.  The vitamins on the store shelves are mass manufactured using synthetic ingredients that we know cause more harm than good.

I recommend this whole food multivitamin from Whole Food Nation.  They make two formulas, the Green Pops a whole food vegetable supplement, and the Purple Pops a whole food fruit supplement.

Whole Food Nation offers  several discount packages  and they pay shipping for a great bonus to their customers.

Just say no to the synthetic chemicals in our foods and vitamins! Let real food and quality ingredients in the POPS give you great nutrition to give your body a chance to heal itself naturally the way it’s supposed to be.
