If you do not have the foundations of good health, like a good diet, regular exercise, keeping up your spiritual and emotional health and reducing your toxic load, no supplements are going to help you very much. But if you do have a good healthy foundation, do you still need vitamin, mineral and herbal supplements? Well, only you can answer that question for yourself, however, many people have a hard time these days finding and eating only truly superior, nutrient-dense foods. Even back in the 1930’s it was recognized that our soils and consequently our foods were depleted of essential minerals. This is even more of a problem today, and even amongst many organic farmers, not all have corrected this problem with their soil.
In addition to the mineral deficiency, since 1980 there has been a 50% reduction in antioxidants in our foods, including vitamin B, C, and E complexes, and unless acquired fresh from the farm or from your own organic garden, and consumed shortly within picking, your food will be lacking in these vitamins and other antioxidants. At the same time, our world is now filled with chemicals that bombard us on all sides. This increases our body’s need for nutrients, especially for antioxidants like the B, C, and E vitamin complexes, DHLA and green tea.
