The RAW Factor

We know that vitamins in the form of food contain other essential ingredients a particular vitamin works with in the human body. These are the vital co-factors that are present in an effective vitamin or mineral. We also know that heating, treating and adulterating food robs it of many of those same co-factors. So the question becomes, why would we go through all of the trouble of growing food created nutrients and then subject them to processing methods that rob them of much of their vital components.

The simple answer is we don’t. Vitamin Code vitamins are raw, organic food and the benefits of raw food have never been more in the spotlight than right now.

Because raw foods are unheated, untreated and unadulterated they retain all of the vital co-factors that nature intended. One of the easiest co-factors to understand is enzymes. Take for example an apple. Apples contain pectin, a soluble fiber. They also contain pectinase, an enzyme that helps break down pectin. In a wonder of nature, when you eat a raw apple, the pectinase helps to break down the pectin in that same raw apple. However, when you heat or process that same apple (think fruit cup), the enzymes are destroyed, making the apple harder to digest.

Remember, enzymes are just one of hundreds of co-factors that exist in raw food. When we heat, treat and process that food we aren’t just losing the enzymes but many of the vital co-factors that make that food healthy for you.

Vitamin Code vitamins and minerals are all made with Raw, organic ingredients, a difference that sets them far apart from the competition.
