Vitamins, Minerals & Anti-oxidants

'A vitamin is a substance that makes you ill - if you don't eat it
Albert von Szent-Gyorgi (1893-1986) Hungarian-born U S Biochemist'

As covered in other sections, all disease begins in the gut. Our digestive system breaks down as we eat and drink, plenty of micro-organisms, chemicals and toxins every day, destroying the beneficial flora (defenders) in the gut and the ability to absorb essential vitamins and minerals and to deliver them to our body organs, all resulting in a compromised immune system - a vicious downward spiral.

Everyone's condition is ultimately created by the deficiency of a vitamin or mineral caused by this downward spiral. Furthermore, every vitamin needs a corresponding mineral in order to be fully effective.

On top of that, trying to use the optimal test for every nutrient on a patient is largely impractical and very expensive. Also the majority of 'over the counter' supplements are synthetically made and have a low absorption rate, some about 9%. To complicate the whole matter further, many nutrients compete for absorption sites in the gut. Without an exceptional diet we cannot be healthy and maximise prevention of long term illness without comprehensive nutritional supplementation delivered to a healthy digestive system.

The Better by Nature 'mother formulas' all deliver organic vitamins in their natural form as say, vitamin C is in an orange. Research has proven for example that the Foundation's organic vitamin C is up to seventeen times more effective than the average vitamin C available. These formulas also include a hydrophilic concentrate of natural minerals, including all seventy minerals and a combination of key antioxidants.

The above combinations delivered within the overall synergy of the Better by Nature formulas the Foundation believes is a viable way of addressing today's need to deliver effective and essential nutritional supplementation.
