What is the difference between vitamins, minerals, herbs, and bio-identical HRT (hormone replacement therapy)?
Whole food vitamins provide the nutrients that feed the energy cycle of your cells. Like foods, these naturally come packaged as living complexes with specific synergistic co-factors, enzymes, phyto-nutrients and organic mineral activators. Any one vitamin in synthetic form (even if a couple of “studied” co-factors are added) will not be as effective because each vitamin needs all of its synergists to function. There are literally hundreds of such synergists, most of which have not been studies but are nevertheless very important. For more information on this see our January 2009 #2 newsletter. Minerals come in two forms: organic and inorganic. We can readily digest organic minerals that we get from plant food sources. The plants have already taken the minerals from the soil and bring them to us in a readily available form. Minerals are the activators that turn our food into energy at the cellular level. They also act to engage hormone systems throughout our body. They have been called
