People often wonder if they should also supplement with a green food
blend while taking a multiple
vitamin/mineral formula. Whole foods provide vitamins and minerals as
nature intended, with all of the naturally occurring co-factors and
synergistic compounds in tact. They contain hundreds, and
possibly thousands, of yet to be discovered nutrients, that cannot be
isolated and put into a
vitamin / mineral supplement.
With whole foods and their concentrates containing complete nutritional
complexes, the body is able to recognize these as food, easily assimilating
what it needs and excreting what it doesnt, this is called selective
absorption. Most vitamin and mineral supplements however, are
made from fractionated, isolated, or synthetic sources, leaving your
body no choice but to deal with these incomplete substances, thus creating
a potential environment of bio-chemical imbalances and toxicities.
For optimal health, there is nothing better or more compatible to the
human body than nutrient-rich, unprocessed whole foods in their balanced,
natural state. Garden of Life Perfect Food is a new standard in whole
food nutrition.
