Vital Nutrition

It's probably an illusion that Americans are well nourished. We may be overfed, but not with substantial nutrients. Chances are that most Americans are not getting all the nutritional support needed for maintaining good health from their diets alone.

Dietary surveys show that 30-50 percent of the total caloric intake of the typical American is made up of highly processed, adulterated, nutrient-deficient foods. For example, white flour lacks 60 percent of its original calcium, 71 percent of phosphorus, 75 percent of iron, 67 percent of copper, and 85 percent of manganese. The loss of vitamins is similar.

The McGovern Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs stated that ?our eating habits may be as profoundly damaging to the nation's health as the widespread contagious diseases of the early part of the century.?

Studies show that health and longevity are increased by avoiding smoking, drinking moderately or not at all, controlling weight, reducing stress, exercising regularly, and eating a well-balanced diet.

Learn to Eat Smart

The first step to eating smart is eating a balanced diet, including fiber, and restricting intake of fat, refined sugars, and flour.

The American Cancer Society recognizes that there is a relationship between certain types of cancer and the way people eat. Most people should eat as varied a diet as possible and become better acquainted with all kinds of fresh vegetables, fruits, fish, poultry, eggs, 100 percent whole grains, nuts, and seeds.

The American Heart Association proposes that total fat intake should be less than 30 percent of total calories. Saturated fat intake should be as low as possible; polyunsaturated fat should be less than 10 percent; and monounsaturated fat intake can be as much as desired, as long as it doesn?t increase the total fat intake to more than 30 percent.

Everyone wants the best when it comes to health. But because important vitamins such as A, B-complex, C, D, and E are often lacking in modern diets, achieving optimal health can be difficult. Super Supplemental? formula includes generous amounts of vitamins crucial to vibrant health, plus major minerals like calcium, potassium, phosphorus, and iron. But that's not all.

Trace minerals are also crucial to health. Some serve with vitamins as catalysts (for intermediate reactions) for countless life-sustaining processes. Others allow the body to make many nutritional elements lacking in the diet. Total trace minerals in the body amount to just a teaspoonful, yet without them we would die. Super Supplemental offers a generous portion of trace minerals in balanced amounts, including magnesium, iodine, chromium, copper, and zinc.

Only the finest ingredients are used in this popular supplement. All are combined in a base of barley grass juice, rose hips, lemon bioflavonoids, hesperidin complex, horsetail herb, broccoli powder, cauliflower powder, asparagus and cabbage powders, bee pollen, and alfalfa herb.

A diet deficient in vitamin E may lead to enhanced fragility of red blood cells, increased urinary excretion of creatinine (indicating muscle loss), and other debilitating problems.
