Vitamin Trader - Healthy Discounts on Quality Vitamins

No one denies that food is the source of our nutrition and therefore the source of our nutritional well being. Yet most americans do not understand the role of whole food and its effects on our health.

Americans have a very high incidence of heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis and obesity. How can that be? The producers of Megafood nutritional supplements believe that the phytonutrient components of food, a main source of nutritive value, are secondary in the minds of the mainstream food producers and marketers.

Current science reveals that whole foods which contain all the naturally occurring food components and the full color spectrum provide the best nutrient delivery system. A maximum quantity of high quality, nutrient-delivering food is the key to optimal health. Quality food is the best method of nutrient delivery.

We can't. When you buy broccoli wouldn't you love to have an analysis of active components that assured you were purchasing the highest quality and most nutritious broccoli possible?

Food quality is often based on color, aroma, texture and taste. Just because food appears "pretty" doesn't mean that it's nutritious. The appearance of food is not always an indicator of its nutritive content or quality.

Megafood believes that much of the food available in the marketplace has poor nutritive value. Distribution considerations mean that fruits and vegetables are usually picked before they are ripe to get them to market in one piece - the result is that nutrients are lost along the way.

In an ideal world, we would grow our own food and pick it at the peak of ripeness to get the best quality food. The vast majority of us don't have this option.

The latest science on nutrient delivery and the importance of phytonutrients indicates that the perfect supplement would contain a maximum quantity of whole food of measurable quality, all the known food factors, a full representation of the color spectrum, quality minerals and extracts of concentrated herbs.

MegaFood has taken all the key components of the perfect supplement and created Maximum Food Formulas, the first supplement that features Quality Marked Whole Foods that insure food quality. Providing quality phytonutrient rich food requires substantiation of the active constituents. Markers give an indication of phytonutrient activity, therefore quality. When a marker compound is high in a specific food, other phytonutrient compounds in that food measure high as well. We are now able to rely on certain identified marker compounds as a measure of the quality of individual foods.
