The average tomato contains over 10,000 different vitamins, minerals and food compounds. With an Innate Response formula you may not be getting a high potency of 40 different nutrients, but rather a broad potency of all the food compounds that intrinsically work together. Our nutrients are the whole food answer for which many practitioners have been looking. 9. What are the research trends in whole food supplementation? When assessing the studies that have been done on vitamins, it is clear that whole food is the answer. When science was looking at vitamin E in the 80s, it was clear that it was an important nutrient. Then we learned in the 90s that d-alpha tocopherol by itself isn’t nearly as effective; it is much better to utilize a mixed tocopherol vitamin E. Today, we know that the tocotrienols are important
