Why is whole, live food supplementation preferred over typical vitamin and mineral supplementation?
A. Our bodies were designed by nature to extract nutrients from natural whle food complexes. Rainforest bionergetic herbs are made from a wide variety of natural, whole foods. They are spagyrically processed to preserve the vitamin and mineral complexes, trace elements, synergistic factors, and enzymes in their bioactive, “health promoting” and complete forms. Natural forms of vitamins may lose up to 90% of their potency when separated from their natural synergists and sold as isolated nutrients. To compensate for this lack of quality, an attempt is made by administering them at high, unnatural quantities. Isolated-nutrient supplementation also fails to address whole body function, and in fact attempts to over-ride issues of impaired absorption, metabolism, etc., by substituting quantity for quality. The concept of Recommended Daily Allowances (RDA) comes from this same limited perspective. On the other hand, when foods are processed to retain these natural compounds the bioactivity (a
