Why is it so important to combine nutrients together…and so ineffective to take individual supplements?
Vitamins and minerals all have a co-dependent relationship with each other, meaning, all nutrients are dependent on the presence of other nutrients to create the essential reactions within the body that make them useable. Isolated nutrients just pass right through the body unused without the presence of their required co-factors. That’s why supplying one or two specific single nutrients, such as Calcium for example, to correct a deficiency, is not enough. Each nutrient must have all the required co-factor nutrients to react off of in order to work. Plus, an excess of one nutrient can create imbalances in others, so providing the proper ratios are also important. For an untrained lay person to figure out all the individual vitamins and minerals needed to enable proper co-factor metabolic reactions, a huge amount of in-depth scientific research would be needed. For our customers who are not scientists, Vital Earth takes the work out of your supplement program, as well as making it econom
