Taking a multi-vitamin is no longer a fad, but part of a growing trend for people who seek out a proactive approach to their health and the health of their loved ones.  The Key is understanding what the very best vitamin and mineral supplements are for your situation.

There is growing evidence that our foods do not contain the vitamins, minerals, enzymes and beneficial microorganisms that they did  hundred years ago because they are grown in nutrient-barren soils that have been doused with pesticides and herbicides.  Our nutritional deficiencies may not cause noticeable health disorders, but they can result in a variety of symptoms along with a general decrease in wellness.  Unaddressed, these nutritional deficiencies can often put the body at risk for future health problems.  

The world of supplements and vitamins can often be confusing for any North American looking to be healthy.
Not all vitamin and mineral supplements are the same.  They vary widely in their source material and the manufacturing methods used to create them.  They vary widely in their potency and effectiveness.  And they vary widely in price.

Vitamins are extremely complex organic substance needed in very small amounts in the diet, and are essential for human life and metabolic processes: for growth, maintenance and health.

Each vitamin has it's own unique functions in the body and can not be replaced by any other substance.

Before the 1800's, vitamins were obtained solely through food intake.   Today, Isolated vitamins and minerals are widely used in Multi-Vitamins and even in foods  to increase the Nutritional value.  But are they really the Best Vitamin and Mineral supplement Form that we should be consuming?

• Did you know that vast majority of vitamin and minerals sold today are made of isolated, synthetic sources?  No advertising campains trumpet the fact that their vitamins and minerals are produced from synthetic source materials that merely imitate the original nutrients found in food.  When you take isolated vitamins, the body attempts to build a complete vitamin complex by adding the missing co-factors that it knows should be there.
  

• Did you know that the delicate Vitamins and Nutrients in your Multi-Vitamins go through many invasive steps to form tablets, using  Heat, Spray and High Pressure?

• Did you know that Multi-Vitamins in tablets can contains up to 40% fillers?

• Did you know that each vitamins and minerals needs the presence of Co-Factors (naturally occuring in food) to be around in order for the body to be able to use those nutrients? Scientist discovered that the thirteen vitamins were made  up of a complex set of interrelated compounds that they called co-factors.  They included: Pre-curseurs, Co-Enzymes, Amino Acids, Co-Vitamins, Essential fatty acids, Micronutrients, Enzymes, Trace element activators, Bioflavonoids, Co-minerals, Phytonutrients.

After the 1800, Science was able to start isolating vitamins and even synthetising them.   The modern paradigm of nutritional supplementation came as chemical scientists claimed they could replicate these natural-growing miracle foods nutrients in their laboratories.  With the advent of scientific technology, individual nutrients such as beta-carotene, ascorbic acid, and alpha-tocopherol could not only be identified in the whole food matrix, but could also be scientifically crafted as simplified imitations of the real thing, created through synthetic means.

Today almost every Multi-Vitamins on the market combines a wide array of individually isolated and/or synthetized nutrients (vitamins, minerals, antioxidants) together.  But is this really the Best Way to Get Additional Vitamins and other Nutrients for Better Health?

These man-made isolated vitamins have lost their original Whole Food Synergy and Balance.  Nature's Wisdom is no longer present in those isolated nutrients and this Natural Synergy of nutrients and cofactors is Essential for proper Cell Recognition and Maximum Utilization and Absorption of the nutrients to Promote Better Health.

• If sufficient cofactors are not supplied - such as other vitamins, minerals, and enzymes - then the body might not be able to use the isolated ingredients present in your multi-vitamin.

• Strictly synthetic multi-vitamins are laboratory-manufactured nutrients that are in some way dissimilar to the natural nutrient and cannot be recognize by the cells for proper utilization.

• Some nutrients like vitamin E cannot be copied exactly, but their synthetic analogs are inexpensive and so they are used by many manufacturers.

• Contrary to popular belief, the vitamins and minerals used to create supplements are often NOT derived from consumable food or botanical sources.  Many multi-vitamins are synthetically produced, fractionated or isolated from refined raw materials such as crushed rock, petroleum by-products and organic solvents to produce a pure, crystalline vitamin or mineral analogs.

• Although the final coumpound is an analogous structure to a specific vitamin or mineral, it is no longer attached or associated with any of the synergistic co-factors that the nutrient is inherently found within foods.

• Some Vitamins companies are making an effort and manufacture what might look as an improvement, by combining food concentrates to isolated vitamins...be carefull when choosing your whole food vitamins, as a closer inspection could make you realize that you are in fact in the presence  of isolated vitamins with very low amounts of whole foods added to them.

• We believe that isolating vitamins and minerals from these co-factors lessens the nutritional impact of those vitamins and minerals.  Concentrated Whole Foods are essential sources of nutrients that can maintain health, in a better way than what isolated nutrients can do.
  

Nutritional Value of Food

Oranges are high in vitamin C

Spinach is rich source of beta carotene which the body converts to vitamin A

Yogurt is high in calcium

While all of this is true, it tends to sell short the true nutritional value of raw and cultured foods. Oranges, spinach and yogurt are a lot more complex than one vitamin or mineral. They also contain hundreds of co-factors like probiotics, enzymes, antioxidants and phytonutrients as well as a host of other vitamins and minerals.

Whole Food contains innumerable substances, some still unknown, that produce a combined effect to which a single isolated ingredient cannot compare.  Whole Foods are live, natural complexes that contains enzymes, coenzymes, vitamins, organic minerals, and other vital functional, and alive elements organized by the sun, rain, water, soil's nutrients, and living bacteria.





ONE A DAY Tablet:  NOT ALWAYS THE BEST CHOICE!









TABLETS always have filler ingredients!

When evaluating the products available on the shelf, look for the term “Other ingredients”.  There you will find binders, fillers, excipients, flow agents and other additives such as:

    * Maltodextrin
    * Corn starch
    * Magnesium stearate
    * Stearic Acid
    * Silica
    * Cellulose gum
    * Guar gum
    * Soy Lecithin
    * Milled soy

Some of these additives do have some nutritive value, but relatively low in comparison to the vitamins, minerals or other key nutrients you are looking to derive from the product. And on the low end 8-15% of the weight of the product can be these “Other ingredients” and on the high end 20-25%. And the regulations are not always clear on exactly how a marketer of the product is to disclose this to the consumer.



Modern food supply and dietary habits create a significant nutritional gap that has to be filled. 

Raw Food-Created Multi-Vitamin are the Best and Most Beneficial form of Multi-Vitamin Supplements for Men, Women, Senior and children.  VITAMIN CODE FORMULAS contains Vitamins, Minerals,  Enzymes, Antioxydants and other nutrients as found in food  which is the Best form for easy recognition, Digestion and Utilization by the body.



What are Food-Created Vitamins?

Like a plant growing in a farmer’s field, the process used to grow the vitamins and minerals that we use in our VITAMIN CODE FORMULAS provides powerful co-factors.  We go to great lengths to ensure that these Code Factors are not destroyed during the growing process.

The process used to grow the vitamins and minerals for The Vitamin Code multivitamins mimics the process found in the plant kingdom. Each individual vitamin and mineral found in the six Vitamin Code formulations is individually grown in single batches.

In nature, plants transform inorganic material into useable and bioavailable nutrients. Similarly, the Vitamin Code Process transforms isolated nutrients, renaturing them into whole foods. The result is an innovative RAW vitamin, mineral or antioxidant that is surrounded by the probiotics, enzymes, phytonutrients and other co-factors that create a nutrient-rich source of fuel beneficial for the body.

At no point during the cultivation process are the vitamins and minerals treated, adulterated or cooked. More importantly is what you won’t find on the label — no binders or fillers. The Vitamin Code nutrients are 100% active, meaning that every ingredient contained within them has nutritional value and purpose. The Vitamin Code represents a breakthrough in multivitamins: RAW, living multivitamin/mineral supplements.
