Let’s talk about something wild…
The INFINITE complexity of nutrition.
You already know real food (especially organs) beats synthetic supplements any day of the week…
But,
Most don’t realize just HOW complex nutrition really is.
For example…
Creatine synthesis relies on B6, B9, and B12.
But you need B12 to activate B9.
And choline can spare the need for both.
High zinc intake can reduce copper absorption, and excessive copper can limit zinc uptake
And B6 works with magnesium to keep the whole system running smoothly.
That’s just a glimpse — and we’ve only scratched the surface.
Nutrition isn’t just about getting enough…
It’s about getting the right nutrients in the right balance.
But here’s something even crazier…
Scientists just “Discovered“(<-link) that 99% of what’s in our food is basically INVISIBLE to us.
They’re calling it “nutritional dark matter.”
See, currently we only recognize about 150 nutrients in our food.
The basic stuff like protein, vitamins, minerals…
But they just found our food actually contains over 26,000 distinct biochemicals!
That means the nutrients listed on food labels only represent about 0.5% of what’s actually IN our food.
The other 99.5%?
Complete mystery.
Thankfully, our bodies are WAY smarter than the scientists who write the USDA Food Guidelines…
It knows it needs nutrients in specific ratios… working together… like a perfectly choreographed dance.
And when we give it what it wants (nutrient-dense foods from nature), it gets everything it needs to operate effectively.
Take liver for example…
It doesn’t just give you Vitamin A…
It gives you the BEST form of Vitamin A (retinol)…
Along with key nutrients that support its effective use in the body.
Same with iron…
The heme iron in liver is absorbed up to 35% better than synthetic non-heme forms.
It also comes with copper, B vitamins, and other nutrients that help your body actually USE that iron.
It’s like the difference between trying to build a house with random materials…
or getting a complete kit with everything in perfect proportions.
Your body recognizes the difference.
If you can’t get all the nutrients you need in your diet…
You can supplement but they must be …
“Whole Food Concentrates”
Not fractionated pieces listing each nutrient on the label. To your body those individual pieces are “synthetic” and it’s never supposed to see them that way. That forces your body to work harder just to get rid of all the pieces.
Only real organic food or organic whole food supplements will work.
Standard Process is one company, since 1929, that uses organic whole food concentrates and most importantly…
In their “natural state” not just ‘from’ a natural source.
Do you want your whole body repaired, …
or just a small piece here or there?
