"We Have Yet To Improve On What
Mother-Nature Has Given Us To Eat.

...Foods Simply Cannot Be Artificially
Duplicated In The Science-Laboratory."

Whole food vitamins are obtained by taking a vitamin-rich plant, removing the water and the fiber in a cold vacuum process, free of chemicals, and then packaging for stability. The entire vitamin complex in this way can be captured intact, retaining its "functional and nutritional integrity."  Upon ingestion, the body is not required to draw on its own reserves in order to complete any missing elements from the vitamin complex, thus it becomes a “food active”.

Most people are not aware that most vitamins are processed at high temperature, contain petroleum derived chemical solvents, such as coal tar derivatives and ethyl cellulose and are coated with methylene chloride, a carcinogenic material.  These sources are not living foods but dead chemicals and over a period of extended use can be potentially dangerous if ingested in mass quantity.

According to Dr. Zoltan P. Rona, M.D., “Although most healthy people will have no obvious side effects from ingesting small amounts of toxins found in most vitamins, the long-term consequences of continuous, daily intakes are potentially dangerous.”  
Dr. Rona says that reactions include fatigue, memory loss, depression, insomnia and potential liver disorders.

Another problem faced by the consumer when making a vitamin choice is that almost all vitamins available today are fractionated and not complete vitamin products. For example, the FDA allows ascorbic acid to be called vitamin C, even though ascorbic acid is merely the antioxidant protector of the vitamin C complex which is made up of 8 individual parts. When using just 1/8 (ascorbic acid) of the whole, the vitamin becomes fractionated.

It’s like getting the shell without the egg.  Minus the necessary co-factors, ascorbic acid doesn’t have the same effect as natural vitamin C on the common cold and other conditions where vitamin C has proven helpful. It’s the same with vitamin E. Natural vitamin E is more biologically active then than the synthetic version.....therefore it is absorbed better and retained longer in the body.

According to noted health columnist John Herring, “In nature, vitamins occur as part of a complex system of other vitamins, enzymes, and nutrients.  These co-factors create a synergy that increases the effectiveness of each component of the system. As much as possible, you should meet your nutritional needs through a healthy diet. This is not always possible.  Therefore when you choose a nutritional supplement, choose one made from real whole food...such as herbs, berries fruits, vegetables, nuts, seed, grains, etc. In other words, put food into your body, NOT CHEMICALS.”

The vitamins in 9 a Day Plus are derived exclusively from organic fruits and vegetable sources. No chemicals or synthetics are employed in the making of the finest nutritional supplement available anywhere.
