What Makes Micro-Nutriments Different

In a nutshell, apart from the R&D that goes into their development, it is the way in which they are manufactured and their special enhancements within. This is what makes the difference. These differences are explained in the following sections on Delivery Systems, Product Synergy and Ingredient Blending.

To better understand the rationale behind these products, let us give you a quick review of why they are needed in the first place by explaining why diseases develop and what you need in order to keep yourself vibrantly healthy.

Consider this:

Nutrient imbalances and/or deficiencies in the body are known to be the prime cause of ailments and disease. Your organs require a wide range of nutrients to enable them to produce the many chemicals and hormones needed by your cells.

If your body is deficient in any of these nutrients, your organs will slowly starve, making it impossible for them to function in the most efficient/effective way. This in turn results in inadequate amounts of chemicals and hormones produced. Result? Accelerated aging and disease! The illustration on the left shows what gradual nitrogen deficiency does to a simple leaf. Similar deterioration of your organs occurs when starved of essential nutrients.

Attaining and maintaining vibrant health is largely dependent on your body's ability to sustain adequate levels of essential nutrients. The challenge is getting these nutrients to the cells, and this is where most supplements fail.

Nutrient imbalances and/or deficiencies are due to three key factors:

  • Poor diet;
  • Poor extraction of nutrients from food ; and
  • The declining quality of the available food supply.

A poor diet results from eating excessive amounts of processed foods (including sugars and fats), animal-derived foods and dairy foods, as well as from consuming insufficient amounts of fruits, vegetables and pure water.

Poor extraction of nutrients is common amongst many people. This is often due to a lack of specific enzymes in the upper intestine that enable the digestive system to break down the nutrients from the food into molecules small enough to pass through the membrane of the small intestine.

Declining quality of food due to large-scale farming and storage methods that degrade the nutrient component of foods.
