Whole Vitamins are critical for maintaining good health!
After
reading this section, you will be shocked at how damaging synthetic
vitamins can be to your body! Please take the time to read this entire
section. If you do, you will never look at vitamins or your body
the same way ever again! After reading this, please contact everyone
you know and tell them about the serious effects that can happen when
taking processed synthetic vitamins! Working together, we could improve
the lives of millions of people!
According to Taber's Medical Dictionary, vitamins are essential for normal metabolism, growth and life of the body. 1
They are indispensable for the maintenance of health. Up until
now there has been some controversy regarding the necessity to
supplement vitamins back into the diet. The Journal of American
Medical Association concluded from a study that every individual should
take a multivitamin everyday, thus ending that controversy. 2
Research has proven that your body
begins to pay the price as it tries to compensate for nutrient
deficiencies. Eventually, poor nutrition can lead to devastating
consequences. According to the U.S. Surgeon General 3 many
people who get cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and other serious
diseases, may have been able to avoid such illnesses if they had been
receiving proper nutrition 4 and exercise. Please do
not make the mistake of thinking that your body is invincible. Your
health is worth a billion dollars and it doesn't take much to give
the body what it needs and deserves. Bottom line, getting the proper
nutrients and micronutrients each day is critical to maintaining good
health.
So now hundreds of supplement companies
have looked to chemical derivatives and synthetic vitamins as a
solution. The very logic of this seems irrational when you
remember where vitamins come from. Vitamins are found in food,
and just because current growing and processing methods have depleted
the vitamins available from our foods, it does not mean that we should
come up with new-fangled ways to get these micronutrients from some
other source. Instead, we should look for a way to get more of
the safe, effective vitamins that are available only from foods.
Let me explain by using vitamin C as an
example. Ascorbic acid is often sold as vitamin C, and yet it is
only a chemically derived fraction of the whole food vitamin. As
it is found in food, vitamin C is a complete complex which is actually
made up of ascorbic acid plus rutin, bioflavonoids, K factor and J
factors - as well as other substances that no human experiment has been
able to replicate. You must have all of these fractions in order
for the Vitamin to be complete.

In order for the body to absorb and use
a vitamin, all of the parts of the complex must be present. That
means that in order to use the fractionated form of the vitamin, the
body must first supply the other parts of the whole food complex.
If ascorbic acid alone is ingested, the body must complete the complex
by robbing its own collagen tissue of the elements that are missing in
the "vitamin C" you supplied.
This process is rarely complete and can
even cause increased deficiencies. A published study by Doctors
Vinson and Bose showed this to be the case. They found that
vitamin C from citrus extract was absorbed 35 percent more than
ascorbic acid. Their conclusion was that; "Although natural and
synthetic ascorbic acids are chemically identical, citrus fruits
contain bioflavonoids such as naringin and hesperidin as well as
carbohydrates and proteins that might affect the bioavailability." 5
Another study conducted at the
University of Scranton found a "significantly greater effectiveness" of
citrus extract than of synthetic ascorbic acid in slowing the
progression of galactose cataracts. The citrus extract was 41
percent more effective. 6
Likewise, other vitamins have been
shown in study after study to be more effective in their whole food
form. One study by J.A. Vinson and C. Hsu, published in Medical
Science Research, found whole food vitamin E and vitamin A to be more
bioavailable than isolated, synthetic forms of these vitamins. In
the case of vitamin A, results showed the food base product was
retained 9.4 times more than the synthetic form. 7
Synthetic vitamins simply cannot
measure up to the real thing. As of 1996, over 3,800 different
compounds have been identified in foods as having nutritional
significance. 8 However, in a laboratory, twenty
nutrients are about all that modern science can reproduce and put into
a vitamin product.
Even more of a concern than the ineffectiveness of these synthetic vitamins is the harm that they can cause.
In the case of vitamin E, large doses
of the fractionated form (alpha-tocopherol) pull vitamins and minerals
from the bones. Supplementation of the synthetic,
alpha-tocopherol form of vitamin E showed harmful effects, including 18
percent higher incidence of lung cancer, more strokes, more heart
attacks and an 8 percent increase in the overall death rate. 9
Research also verifies that using just
a fraction of vitamin A actually increases the risk of cancer. On
the other hand, the whole food vitamin A, and foods containing vitamin
A, has the opposite effect. The whole food form significantly
reduces the risk of cancer.
A study done by Boston University
School of Medicine and published in the New England Journal of Medicine
showed that synthetic vitamin A given to pregnant women increased the
risk of birth defects, including such defects as cleft lip, cleft
palate, heart malformations and nervous system damage. 10 No such defects were noted from ingesting whole foods that contain vitamin A.
Fractionated vitamins actually produce
a drug-like reaction in the body. They stimulate increased
activity of nerve cells and increase blood sugar pickup. This
brings a feeling of euphoria and can create a temporary increase in
energy but long term damage to the body.
One of the latest studies was on
Vitamin C as synthetic ascorbic acid. It was found to thicken the
walls of the arteries, a condition known as atherosclerosis.
Researchers from the Institute for Health Promotion and Disease
Prevention found that of the 573 men and women studied, those who
regularly took vitamin C pills as Ascorbic Acid alone developed an
inner artery wall layer 2.5 times thicker than that of people who did
not take synthetic supplements. 11

With all this evidence to support whole
food vitamins, why do you think companies continue to make and market
the "cheap imitations"? The answer: Because they are cheap.
However, while these companies may save money and make more profit,
there is no way the synthetic forms can match the effectiveness and
health promoting qualities of a whole food vitamin. The human
cell recognizes and can use for fuel, repair and function, only
natural, whole food complexes.
Whole food vitamins do not rob precious
nutrients from the body, but supply the individual cells with the
nutrients they need to flourish. For greatest gains in terms of
health, take only whole food vitamins. When evaluating a vitamin
supplement, you can simply read the label. Rather than
multi-syllable, unpronounceable chemical names, you should find the
names of foods listed as the vitamin sources. The Greatest
Vitamin in the World formula lists the vitamin and then has an asterisk
that refers you to the fruit and vegetable blend used as our vitamin
base. This is your way of knowing that you are getting the best
possible absorption and retention of your vitamins.
Remember, next to the name of any
vitamin, if you don't see a name of a food or an asterisk leading you
to a place on the label that tells you the food source of the vitamins,
you are more than likely looking at an inexpensive, processed vitamin
that is stripped of all other compounds that are normally present with
vitamins that are found in fruits and vegetables. If you see the name
of a food referenced to the vitamin, be excited to know that you are
getting vitamins direct from the whole food and, therefore, you are
also getting the essential precursors, enzymes, activators,
antioxidants, and micronutrients (essential compounds) that are
naturally found with vitamins. These essential compounds make it much
easier for the body to absorb and utilize the vitamins you are taking!
Your body deserves to be given the right vitamins that are essential
for your good health!
Eating healthy, getting the proper
nutrients, annual medical checkups, and exercise are all critical in
keeping the body strong and healthy.
We are proud to educate the world
about the incredible difference between processed vitamins and the
vitamins you get when you eat nutrient-dense whole foods like broccoli,
spinach, carrots, tomatoes, acerola cherry, etc. We take these nutrient
dense foods, remove the water without removing the essential
micronutrients, and place them into each vitamin giving you the
absolute highest quality vitamins in the world.
You will notice that our product is
capsule based instead of tablet. The tableting process involves
high heat and pressure which destroys the live health promoting factors
of whole foods. Don't be misled by supposed whole food products
that are rendered useless because of the tableting process.
Years ago we thought nothing of our
children riding in a car with just a seat belt to protect them. Today,
since we are far more educated, most of us would never consider having
a baby ride in a car unless properly secured in a car seat. We believe
that by educating the public regarding the facts about our body and the
nutrients that are essential for good health, people like yourself will
soon look at taking The Greatest Vitamin in the World daily the
same exact way you look at brushing your teeth daily as being essential
for good dental health. We also believe that by educating you with the
facts, you will find yourself telling everyone you know about The Greatest Vitamin in the World!

Your body is worth a billion dollars and yet most of us abuse our body
as though it has the ability to handle major abuse year after year
without paying any price. It’s often many years later when we
discover all that abuse comes at a major price. Let’s educate
ourselves and others about nutrition and our body so we can all live a
longer and healthier life. That is my personal goal, and the goal of
this amazing company!
