Fermented Vitamins and Minerals
When a living probiotic culture is added to “food concentrated” vitamins and minerals, the result are a higher class of nutritional supplements available to the body. Fermented Vitamins and Minerals, also known as “whole food” or “living” supplements, mixes beneficial probiotic bacteria and yeast microorganisms with whole foods and food extracts.
Supplements made with concentrated food ingredients and a fermentation process introduce beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract. Probiotics promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestines. Probiotics have been shown to promote immune system health, digestion, and elimination, and antimicrobial effects.
Raw Food-Created Nutrients
Raw Food-Created Nutrients provide the nutrients of food without the bulk of the food. Each individual vitamin in this class has the unique ability to go to the right place of the body because the vitamin is escorted by all its co-factors. This is food and the body knows what to do with it. This process is akin to having a zip code on each vitamin. It will get delivered exactly in the body where it needs to be. When we put synthetic USP vitamins and minerals in our mouths, however, it’s like dropping a blank envelope into the mailbox—the body doesn’t know what to do since there’s no address.
The Importance of Enzymes
Enzymes are proteins that initiate all chemical reactions in our bodies. Without enzymes no chemical reactions will occur and the body will fail. Scientists identified eighty enzymes in the 1930’s; today more than 5,000 enzymes have been discovered. A single human liver cell contains at least 1,000 different enzyme systems.
Our bodies can only provide a limited amount of enzymes so we need to obtain enzymes from our foods. At a temperature of about 118 degrees Fahrenheit enzymes begin to be destroyed. Modern food processing methods occur at temperatures higher than 118 degrees thus destroying many enzymes from our foods. Cultivated, raw supplements are not heat processed in any way, preserving the natural enzymes contained in the foods.
