"Food" & "Natural" Defined:

"Food" as defined by Webster's, is "material, usually of plant or animal origin, containing or consisting of essential body nutrients, as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals, taken in and assimilated by an organism to maintain growth and life." OceanfarmSea

"Natural" as defined by Webster's, is "present in or produced by nature." By these definitions, saying nutrients are in a "natural" form implies that they are either what nature itself produced in the form nature produced it, or they are "like" food as we understand the wholistic nature of food to be, complexed to proteins, carbohydrates and lipids, with other food attachments in close association.

Vitamins Utilize

Almost without exception, all vitamins utilized in the manufacturing of supplements are made from what are called hydrocarbonaceous intermediates. So they can technically be called “natural,” since they can be said to be derived from "natural sources." But their isolated state is not at all the same as their “natural form” as found in food.

According to the redefinitions of technology, what is natural as nature created it, may not qualify as “natural” as technology defines it. When research scientists discovered how to isolate d-alpha tocopherol from food in a lab, for example, the accepted generic term for that structure came to be known as "Natural Source Vitamin E" D-alpha tocopherol, however, does not exist as an isolated molecule in food.

Food Contains

Food contains multiple tocopherols in a highly complex molecular structure that assures that "dl" rather than "d" is present. Isolated pure molecules rotate light, and once molecules are isolated to reveal their exact structure, molecularly the form they take can no longer be considered food.

Thus, D-alpha tocopherol is not food as nature defines it, and wholistically it is not vitamin E as nature creates it. Still, patents exist for synthesizing d-alpha tocopherol, which is then labelled "Natural Source Vitamin E" and the impression given to those buying and consuming it, is that they are getting something nature created as it would be found in food.

If one accepts the definition of "Natural Source Vitamin E" as it has conventionally been accepted, vitamin E as found in food cannot pass the test to be called "Natural Source Vitamin E." Only the pure, free-state d-alpha tocopherol molecule can pass that test.

Food Is a Complex Life Form Nutrients in food are never in a "free-form" meaning they do not exist in food as isolates. They are in a relationship. Food contains water and/or fat-soluble nutrients bound into a matrix of highly complex interlocking systems of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, enzymes, co-enzymes, nucleic acids, and countless other naturally-occurring elements.

What Do Plants and Nutrients Have in Common

When this food is consumed, scientific evidence strongly suggests that proteins are the only transport mechanisms for nutrients in all known living systems. Plants only contain nutrients molecularly bound into relationships, and nature designed the human body to use vitamins and minerals the way they exist in plants. In that design, vitamins and minerals are always bound to soluble proteins, found or associated with carbohydrates, lipids and other naturally occurring constituents. This is not just a blend of isolates. It is a wholistic relationship. This integration is what is compromised in food processing.

Because of food’s complexity, its exact structure cannot be identified by using analytical chemistry. Attempts to do this so separate its many parts that it is rendered into free-form chemical isolates that can no longer be considered food. What we do know, is that bioavailability i.e. "utilization" is the whole point of nature's design for delivering vitamins, minerals and other essential elements to the body's cells via food, and USP vitamin and mineral material lacks the naturally-occurring transport proteins molecularly bound to vitamins and minerals as found in food.

A Word About Minerals

Minerals, too, never exist as inorganic salts or gluconates in plant or animal food groups as they are typically offered in the marketplace, and because inorganic minerals are not effectively utilized by the body, some companies attempt to improve their absorption and utilization by chelating them to an amino acid, which is a chemical technique essentially gluing things together to mimic nature's molecular bond. It is the attempt to take something unnatural and trick our bodies into thinking it is natural, as nature defines that.

Even amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, in the form of chelates are made with isolated soy proteins which are rendered completely insoluble by a chemical process which also removes most of the lipids and carbohydrates associated with them in the soybean. The phosphoproteins are destroyed in this process, and the RNA/DNA (of which the backbone is phosphorus) is decomposed. As far as mineral transportation is concerned, these isolated proteins are dead.

Bioflavonoids

Bioflavonoids (biologically-active antioxidants involved in maintaining the integrity of the cell wall), are another example, present as dozens of groups and subgroups, bound together in a soluble form, in turn, bound to soluble proteins and associated with soluble carbohydrates. In plants, all vitamins are associated with soluble natural-form bioflavonoid groups whose relationship to vitamin C is especially well known, and many companies dry mix them together for that reason.

Still, their relationship to all other vitamins has historically been overlooked or ignored; thus, most bioflavonoids on the market today are not in nature’s form. They have been rendered completely insoluble by a chemical process which isolates one or more groups (such as hesperidin) from the rest. Most of the proteins and carbohydrates are removed, leaving the insoluble isolate, which is then dried. It is often then diluted with other fruit constituents, and the whole blend is labeled “bioflavonoid complex.” Legally it can still be labeled “natural,” even though the state it is in is artificial and “unnatural.”

With little understanding about which group or sets of groups may be responsible for the biological activity, there has been an assumption that the discarded or decomposed groups are not useful, since science does not yet know how they might be useful.

For years, experts dismissed the importance of bioflavonoids and flavonols, thinking them discardable because they didn’t know what role these elements fulfilled in human health, only to now find that these important food constituents may be essential in protecting our bodies from free-radical pathology considered to be the primary cause of multiple diseases and aging. The wisdom of nature that included them was dismissed, and bioflavonoids, in general, were thought to be useless with no therapeutic or nutritional value.

There are many factors in the relationships designed by nature we do not understand, but the benefits clearly stand out over the consequences of interfering with this relationship. This tendency to fragment nature’s wholistic design, and the influence of this upon modern life, has drastically inhibited most people’s likelihood of being adequately nourished or their cells adequately supported with quality materials in the maintenance of their health. Absent a comprehension of the value inherent in nature’s design, there has been little interest in preserving the integrity of that design.

Technology Denatures

The miraculous wizardry of technology has brought with it an arrogance in which “denatured” is treated as equal to, and in many cases, superior to nature. In fact, the importance of the synergy of nature in its wholistic state and its influence on health cannot be overstated. A basic design function of our immune system is to get rid of things in our bodies that are unnatural, and an immune system chronically challenged by denatured substances never anticipated by nature is an immune system in stress.

Breaking the integrity of the relationship between natural constituents sacrifices the benefit nature designed the relationship to make available. It ignores the question, “How do molecules come together and do what they do?” Indeed, what is it nature provides in the wholistic food complex that inspired the wholistic design? No matter how smart science gets, or how much it understands, technology can only manipulate nature. Chemistry does not evoke Mother Nature, Mother Nature evokes chemistry. That is the driving force behind the ability to organize and cause effects. That life force is what our bodies respond to.

Disturbing nature’s wholistic design has consequences, whether we know what they are, or not. Illustrating the significance of the disruption of nature's wholistic design in the modern tendency to isolate what science identifies as the active ingredients so as to synthesize them, Dr. Bernard Jensen and Mark Anderson say in their book, Empty Harvest, that: "Combined as two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen, H2O will extinguish fire.

It is water. Separately, however, the elements are among the most flammable and explosive elements in the universe. Their functions are exactly the reverse in their isolated state from their organically combined state. Similarly, vitamins function as biological mechanisms only when whole and complete, combined with their synergists, as a whole food..."

The Body Is an Eco-system

Our cells eat, drink, breathe, excrete waste, generate electricity, do their job, and replicate themselves, twenty four hours a day. Each and every one of them is totally dependent upon the integrity of the resources available to them to perform these functions efficiently. To the extent the quality of these resources is lacking, the quality of the cell's performance is diminished. Quality goods cannot be created from inferior resources. In other words, junk in, junk out.

When a body's cells are formed from inferior resources, our bodies are handicapped by a diminished capacity for health that continues to diminish throughout each subsequent generation born and raised on deficient resources. Our bodies have only what we consume to supply the materials with which our cells are generated, maintained and restored. Deficient, processed, adulterated food provides a deficient quality of material considerably different from what nutrient-rich, non denatured foods produce.

A cell membrane made from damaged or deficient raw materials lacks the integrity to fulfill its healthy function. The body is designed for vital health, and nature provides all the resources by which such health can be accomplished and enjoyed. Nature is our ally, and supplementation and food production which looks to nature's wisdom as its mentor, is nature's ally.

Until recently, and almost without exception, USP-grade material was the only vitamin material available in the world for formulating and tableting vitamin supplements. Unknown to most consumers, there are no brand name vitamin companies that actually manufacture their own vitamins. There are close to 3,000 brand name vitamin supplements in the marketplace in the United States whose nutrient contents are all purchased through distributors from the same seven sources in the United States or from their seven foreign counterparts.

Now You Have a Vitmain, Mineral Supplement Choice!

Today, there are several classes of vitamin and mineral supplements. How they are made determines how compatible they are with your body, which ultimately determines how effective they are doing the job you ingest them to do.

Your choices are:

Man-Made vitamins, referred to as USP or FCC (chemical codex classifications), are specific molecules synthesized from hydrocarbonaceous intermediates (organic chemicals). Worldwide, each USP/FCC vitamin or mineral, respectively, is identical. Almost without exception, these are the vitamins used by vitamin supplement companies world wide.

Natural Source vitamins are USP vitamins synthesized from a chemical previously derived from something natural.

Whole Food Concentrates are USP vitamins and/or minerals blended with denatured food constituents.

Reacted or Chelated vitamins are USP vitamin molecules chemically reacted with an inexpensive source of denatured protein, such as animal gelatin, and a denatured carbohydrate source, such as maltodextrin. There can be a measurable improvement in the bioavailability of this type of vitamin as compared to isolated USP vitamins. These are mistakingly referred to as grown or food grown vitamins.

In a Class By Themselves!

Organic Food products are live, plant-cell grown vitamins and minerals with non-denatured vegetable protein, complex carbohydrates, bioflavonoids, bioflavonols, enzymes, lipids, and countless other food constituents in the highest bioavailable supplemental form in existence. They are authentically natural, nutrient concentrates with their natural food attachments and enzymes. They are consistent with what food represents to the body. They are the first entirely new class of supplements in over 70 years. There is nothing else like them.

For the first time, concentrated food nutrients are available in authentically natural, easy-to-take supplements at affordable prices.
