Have you ever asked these questions:

• should I take vitamins, if so, what and how much should I take?
• are there specific nutritional needs that every body requires regardless of age, sex or race?
• are all vitamins created equally?
• is there a simple program that gives me everything I need to get started?

If you live in North America, odds are you are nutritionally deficient. The human body, regardless of age, sex or race, has the same basic nutritional requirements. The quantity may vary from person to person, dependent upon lifestyle factors. There are six specific nutrients the body needs that were once prevalent in our diet, but are now hard to come by. These are: vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, digestive enzymes, probiotics and essential fatty acids… these are essential nutrients for Every-Body, Every-Day! The Every-Body Pack was designed to give you all six nutrients in the highest quality possible. The nutrients are vital to help maintain and/or regain the body’s healthy state.

• Vitamin-Mineral with antioxidants
• Digestive with probiotics
• EFA (omega 3 oils)

Classifications of Vitamins

There are three classifications of vitamins, one is a whole food supplement, one is a fractionated vitamin, also called a crystalline vitamin, and the last is a synthetic vitamin. 

1. Whole Food Supplement – This would be, as its name implies, a supplement of food taken directly from a food source.  The word natural truly applies here, for these are vitamins, compounds, co- and synergistic micronutrients taken from a raw food.  Nothing is added or extracted that would destroy or change their molecular, biological or biochemical combinations or actions. Even though the dehydration and/or freeze-drying process preserves the enzymes naturally, whole food supplements have a limited shelf life – they are a whole food source.

2. Fractionated Vitamins (Crystalline) – While this type of product has whole food as its original source (and therefore is not considered synthetic), it has been distilled, diluted and crystallized to the degree that virtually all of the synergistic co-factors present in the original food are processed out or eliminated, leaving only the pure organic nutrient. The motivation for producing this version of a vitamin product is to concentrate the organic nutrient, thus increasing the milligram levels for marketing value. The synergistic co-factors are what give vitamins the full ability to be absorbed and utilized by the body.

3. Synthetic Vitamins (not a food supplement) – The word synthetic states the nature of this form of vitamin supplement. In a laboratory the organic nutrient (sometimes called the crystalline vitamin molecule) is constructed or synthesized primarily from corn sugar and non-food compounds such as coal tar. While the exact molecular formula of the organic nutrient is replicated, there are at least two problems with this type of product. – they contain no co-factors and their molecular spin is wrong.

Why do you need nutritional supplements?

If you are thinking of starting a vitamin program, you must first educate yourself about all the choices on the market today. All supplements are not the same. Most of the nutritional supplements on the market, whether purchased in a pharmacy, health food store, through a physician’s office, or via a multilevel marketing company, do not provide much, if any nutrition at all. Few companies produce true food supplements. The concept of a vitamin supplement should be to replace nutrition that is lacking in today’s lifestyles.

1. The U.S. Department of Agriculture states that foods today contain 20-30% less nutrient value than the same foods did just 10 years ago. Conventional farming practices, which reduce nutrients and add harmful substances include:

• Chemical fertilization
• Lack of crop rotation
• Increased levels of herbicides and pesticides
• Genetically modified and treated seeds
• Early harvesting
• Radiation of food before delivery

2. Health properties are further weakened and toxicity is increased through food processing such as:

• Hydrogenation of oils
• Pasteurization of food
• Preservatives added to food
• “Enrichment” of foods
  Foods such as “enriched white flour” have lost 50-95% of the nutrients originally present in whole grain, nutrients which are replaced with cheap substitutes.

3. Poor food choices. With the convenience of fast foods, each of us typically:

• Consumes only 5% of calories from fruit and vegetables
• Consumes 150 lbs of sugar per year
• Drinks over 56 gallons of soda per year

Populations with low death rates from disease consume less than 25% of their calories from unrefined plant substances. If we don’t get what we need from foods, the body cannot function, health declines, symptoms worsen, suffering increases and finally we prematurely die.

Digestive

Most Americans consider indigestion a part of life.  The American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) says that 50% of the US population is affected by a digestive disease of some kind.

Improper digestion can cause gas, bloating, acid reflux, heartburn, diarrhea, irritable bowel and drowsiness after eating. More serious symptoms include fatigue, skin problems, impaired immunity, premature aging, and food allergies. This is not a normal part of life and you can get relief. Instead of choosing antacids and other preparations that only cover up the symptoms, we recommend Whole-istic Solutions brand Digestive, an all-natural solution.

Whole-istic Solutionsbrand Digestive is much more potent than most digestive support formulas, meaning that fewer pills are needed with greater results. This synergistic blend of quality ingredients will offer the best solution to digestive problems.

Digestive is specially formulated to:

• Assist with the digestion of all food groups, (carbohydrates, fat, protein, and fiber)
• Alleviate lactose intolerance
• Help with bowel regulation (constipation and diarrhea)
• Inhibit growth of pathogenic bacteria (strengthening the immune system)
• Create vitamins and countless other nutrients beneficial to our health
• Improve blood sugar levels

For Whole-istic Solutions Digestive we used only the highest quality plant enzymes to ensure that the enzymes work throughout the entire digestive tract, unlike animal enzymes that only work in the small intestine.

Vitamin-Mineral

Every fruit and vegetable is like a nutritional manufacturing plant capable of producing thousands of chemicals beneficial to human health. Each food provides a complex mix of nutrients not reproducible in a lab. Over 25,000 different phytonutrients discovered in fruits and vegetables work in concert, creating natural harmony in body systems.

Research also confirms the tremendous need for vitamins; however, they must be whole-food vitamins.

Change Your Thinking About Nutritional Supplements and Change Your Health Forever: Whole foods contain whole vitamins, but isolated vitamins (also known as synthetic or fractionated vitamins) do not contain the complete whole food complex. A whole food supplement is comprised of intact foods that have been concentrated by removing only the water and the fiber. This is the only way to be confident you are getting all of the benefits created in nature. The way to tell the difference is simple: A whole-food is just that - a food, like a carrot, spinach, or broccoli, which will be listed on the label. Isolated vitamins are listed on the label by their chemical names, such as vitamin A palmitate; d-alpha tocopherol or ascorbic acid.

Whole-istic Solutions is proud to offer our 100% whole food Vitamin-Mineral madeof: Barley, Wheat and Kamut grasses, Chlorella, Spirulina, Blue Green Algae, Atlantic Kelp Algae, Carrot, Broccoli, Spinach, Green Tea Extract, Amla C and Dunaliella Salina.  These fresh ingredients are harvested and immediately dried using a process that allows the product to be dried in seconds at temperatures below 100 degrees Fahrenheit. This proprietary process maintains the nutritional integrity, strength and effectiveness of the active ingredients in our products. Most raw ingredients are certified organic. When a conventional ingredient is used, it is analyzed to verify a high nutrient content, and certified to be pesticide and chemical free. This diverse combination of nutrient rich whole foods offers a complete assortment of vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, amino acids, phytonutrients, and antioxidants, providing the most complete and potent array of macro-nutrients and micro-nutrients available anywhere.

EFA

The body needs essential fatty acids just as it needs essential vitamins and minerals.  Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are the “good fats” required by every cell & organ in the body. Essential fatty acids greatly influence the health of the human body. They cannot be made by the body, so a direct food source is vital. Research on essential fatty acid supplements has shown to benefit many areas including:

• Cardiovascular health
• Diabetes
• Energy production & stamina
• Brain function - elevated mood, less hyperactivity, better focus & concentration, reducing stress by optimizing serotonin production
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis
• Liver & Kidney function
• Inflammation reduction
• Improving bone mineral retention
• Weight management
• Infant development
• Immune function
• Cancer prevention

Whole-istic Solutions EFA provides all of the essential fats with a selected balance of:
Organic Flax seed oil – Nature’s richest source ofALA (Alpha Linolenic Acid) which is useful in protecting against heart diseases, improving immune function, cancer prevention, and treating male infertility
Evening Primrose Oil – is rich in GLA (Gamma-Linolenic Acid. GLA is used to produce series one prostaglandins. Prostaglandins affect the function of virtually every system in the body including; the regulation of inflammation, pain, blood pressure, fluid balance, and blood clotting; and they also affect hormone production and function.
Fish oil concentrates – Rich in DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) & EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) EPA has been shown to benefit conditions such as heart disease and arthritis. DHA is one of the building blocks for brain growth and development, and is the primary structural fatty acid in the retina (critical for eye development and health). Numerous studies show that DHA improves learning, vision processes, memory, concentration, nervous system development, mood and behavior.
The fish oil used for Whole-istic Solutions EFA is sourced from the clean waters of the Pacific Ocean using fish low on the food chain, and thus naturally low in contaminants. The oils are then gently purified, avoiding exposure to high temperatures and eliminating exposure to oxygen, thus minimizing degradation. They are further protected from oxidation using non-genetically modified antioxidants from mixed tocopherols.

For the final process the EFA blend is encapsulate in a patented sealed Licap® which further eliminates oxygen exposure. The result of this encapsulation process is a stabilized EFA product that has an extended shelf life and does not have to be refrigerated.
