The Shocking Truth about Vitamin and Mineral Supplements Manufacturers Do NOT Want You to Know!

March 19, 2004--Your body is composed of over 10 trillion cells, most are replaced every 7 years. For new cells to be programmed properly by your DNA and for your cells to function correctly - your body requires an extensive array of vitamins, minerals and amino acids.

Some vitamins and amino acids are produced in the body. However, there are about 90 minerals, vitamins and amino acids referred to as "essential vitamins minerals and amino acids" which your body does not produce and thus it needs to get them from outside sources. (More properly they should be called "dietarily essentials" or "essential in diet.").

Since most of the foods we eat today severely lack these essential nutrients due to harsh manufacturing processes and thoroughly depleted soils, people in ever increasing numbers are relying on dietary supplements to get these vital nutrients. If you yourself consume nutritional supplements here is some important information you need to know about this $30 billion a year industry:

FACT: Many mineral supplements on the market today are not even assimilable by the body.

Coral calcium, for example is a product that's sold on the market today as an easily assimilable mineral product:

Coral calcium is made of ionic (inorganic) minerals. Ted Morter, in his book Health and Wellness, explains: "Mineral kingdom inhabitants are inorganic materials such as rocks and sand and gold and iron. Objects in the mineral kingdom are made up of substances like carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, silicon, manganese, and a vast assortment of other elements. Elements in this kingdom are held together by very strong bonds. The scientific terms for the strong, inorganic, mineral kingdom bonds are "electrovalent" or "ionic". You can consume inorganic minerals, but your body will either store them or eliminate them. We don't have the physiological capabilities of easily converting inorganic minerals into usable organic materials, but plants do. That's the beauty of plants as food....

....Plants can take minerals from the soil, break the strong bonds, and incorporate the minerals into their physical beings. The minerals we eat should come from the plant kingdom....Once the minerals become a part of the plant kingdom, the bonds are no longer strong; in fact, they become very weak....Our metabolic systems can use these plant minerals easily and effectively."

As you've read in the previous paragraph, ionic minerals are inorganic minerals and are not assimilated by your body because they have not been processed by plants. Unfortunately, the same is true for all other mineral supplements including the very popular ones known as "Colloidal" or "Liquid Minerals"; they all contain inorganic minerals not readily assimilable by the body.

FACT: Over 97% of all other nutritional supplements on the market today are synthetic, man-made and are not easily assimilable by your body, if at all.

Over 97% of all other nutritional supplements are made by man in scientific laboratories which immediately red flags an interference with nature. More so, many contain coal tars, artificial coloring, preservatives, sugar or other chemicals. Even the ones labeled "natural" are still processed in labs and contain megadoses of one or more isolated nutrients such as Vitamin C or E which are never found alone in nature. Your body is NOT designed to digest isolated nutrients but rather to extract them from real food.

Research has shown that nutrient "families" work together to support and maintain good health. By not giving your body the "complete package," you are breaking this divine natural system and can cause deficiencies, imbalances or destructive side effects -- just like too much magnesium depletes calcium, or too much Vitamin C which depletes Vitamin B12. The truth is, in most cases, your body is flushing these supplements from your system without even absorbing them. Or worse, unnecessary deposits may build up in your tissues only to cause new problems.

FACT: The truth is not always easy to swallow, but as gruesome as it is, it's still easier to assimilate than 97% of all nutritional supplements on the market.

It is a sad irony that so many people who get colonics (intestinal flushing) end up flushing pieces of undigested vitamins and mineral tablets that were stuck in their intestines for years. Not only that, but 95% of people surveyed who regularly consume supplements said that beyond richly colorful urine they do not particularly feel any significant lasting health benefits from their daily intake of vitamins and minerals. And just knowing the truth of what some supplement manufacturers use as source material for their products might be enough to induce nightmares as a side effect.

What's the Solution?
The human body is a miraculous living organism with the ability to grow, regulate, repair and defend itself when given the correct natural and full spectrum nutrients. The most nutrient-rich foods are wholefoods. That means, whole complete foods that contain no additives, preservatives or chemicals -- natural or organic foods in their original state the way Mother Nature intended.

And therefore, the most effective supplements are made exclusively from wholefood ingredients. Your body digests them as food. That is because wholefood supplements are simply wholefoods condensed into tablet or capsule form. They are NOT a chemical mixture, or isolated single elements like synthetic vitamins. Instead, they supply your body with a complete nutritional balance in the precise ratio and arrangement as found in nature. In addition, unlike "dead" synthetic vitamins, wholefood supplements are loaded with active, life-giving enzymes.

Blue Green Algae was found to be a miraculously complete and powerful green wholefood, and in fact the one that has supported all life forms on planet Earth for millions of years. Not only is it super rich in chlorophyll which is known to be essential for many normal body functions but it's also nearly two thirds protein and contains all the essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids the body needs. Particularly in its native Crystal form, it is the ideal cell food for the human body and it opens the nutritional gateway to the perfect health already programmed in the DNA of human cells.

That is probably why so many people taking Blue-Green Algae report dramatically increased energy and endurance, improved sex drive, better sleep, less fatigue, stronger immune system, better concentration, more positive attitude, nicer skin, stronger nails, greater sense of well being and much more.

So is it possible to achieve perfect health? Nourishing your body with Nature's undeniably most powerful source of complete nutrition is definitely a move in the right direction. The the day may be nearing when Blue-Green Algae will be as much a part of most people's supplement arsenal as vitamin C.

Green Earth Naturals, located in Clearwater, FL is the exclusive worldwide distributor of the unique Crystal Sweet Algae(tm) (Blue-Green Algae in its native crystal form) and Crystal Nutritionals "the next generation superfoods."
