Whole Food Supplements Fact or Fiction

Most of the supplements on the market and even the ones that claim as "whole food supplements" aren't all natural or are not derived from food sources at all.

Conventional vitamins are isolated or synthetic forms of very specific elements that are not standardized and insufficient nutritional sources. The doses in conventional vitamins are much higher, often many times greater than those you'd find in food. Synthetics and isolates can be affordable to manufacture and are small in size in tablets or capsules, are standardized and have a long shelf life. Because of this, they are very convenient for vitamin producers to utilize and aren't natural.

Another reason why these chemicals and isolates are so widely employed is that FDA labeling requirements are drastically biased in their favor, making it difficult for anyone to make supplements using natural ingredients. In certain cases, a label claim cannot be made using whole food ingredients unless there is some standard ingredient added. These labeling requirements can be crippling for most companies making a truly natural supplement where the whole food ingredients are the main source of nutrition for the product. Vitamin C is an exception to this law and , as a consequence, there are many supplements that are available where the vitamin C content is found naturally, but only in a few whole food supplements كوكولاجين ادمارك.

The laws governing supplements across the United States are not only dissimilar to the natural sources of vitamins, but they are also quite arbitrary. This can be a problem for people who decide to actually read a label. It is difficult to differentiate between natural and synthetic vitamin sources. Some sneaky companies utilize this to their advantage . They are known to spike yeast with synthetic substances as part of their "fermentation or cultivating process" and then add food ingredients too. They are then able to legally label themselves whole food supplements.

You may be surprised to learn that regulations governing supplements in the United States are some of the most lax laws in the world. Many of the ingredients employed within American supplements are prohibited within Asian countries. There are pros and cons in this scenario. One side is that a lack of regulation allows for people access to alternative medicines and procedures that would not be readily available in the case of relying on the FDA and big pharmaceutical companies to get access. On the other hand the lack of regulation allows manufacturers to sell whatever they'd like to onto shelves regardless of integrity or the consequences.

A great example is the use of the words "proprietary blend," when you purchase a label. It's completely legal for a supplement business to use this term instead of listing their exact ingredients. It's possible that the exclusive blend could refer to saw dust or Koolaid mix.

There was a movement that was launched less than 10 years ago by the few truly organic whole food supplement firms out there pushing for the FDA to establish the Naturally Occurring Standard. The intention was that further standards would allow nutrient claims to be made using natural sources of vitamins and the possibility of having Daily Recommended Values developed that are founded on food, not just standardized vitamins as they are now. This trend has apparently not caught on but there are a couple of things that you can take advantage of as a consumer to discover truly natural food supplements.

Pay attention to the following labels warnings while purchasing whole food supplements:

1) If a company brags that they're "whole food created in a ferment, cultured, or cultured manner" this means they've infused their food with standard vitamins.

2) If the label claims offer more than 100 percent DV the source is likely not from food sources. (The only exception to this might be vitamin C which is naturally occurring in relatively high quantities.)

3) If some of the ingredients are listed with the title "Proprietary Blends" you don't really know what's there.

4) If a product is listed as having numerous vitamins and dozens of different foods, they're most likely using standardised vitamins, with a tiny sprinkling of fruits and veggies in order to make the item look as if it's stuffed with nutritious food. Consider it this way. There's only so much space on a tablet. how much food could you be getting?

The vitamins are naturally occurring, and therefore you will get the complete vitamin-rich complex that are found in the entire foods and at the doses found in food. The process of culturing is not needed. In reality when a complete food supplement is made up of whole food source vitamins (peels as well as all) there is actually a hundred of nutrients found naturally in the food... and even when the FDA is not allowing the claim as such on the packaging.
