Need A Reason To Take Supplements? Try These...

• An optimal selection of foods does not give us enough antioxidants to defend ourselves against toxic outgassing from office equipment, cigarette smoke, smog, and alcohol.

• The average person is exposed to more than five hundred chemicals in the home enviroment and seven hundred chemicals in drinking water that are known to deplete many nutrients.

• Soils are depleted of minerals due to chemical farming methods, acid rain, overfarming, and topsoil erosion. Ninety percent of us are deficient in chromium, an essential trace mineral poorly supplied by the American diet.

• Eighty percent of the carbohydrates consumed by Americans are in the form of refined flours and sugars, which are very poor sources of B6, folic acid, pantothenic acid, zinc, and manganese essential for health.

• The 133 pounds of sugar Americans eat each year depletes B vitamins and minerals.

• Only 9% of the population eats the recommended five servings of vitamin-rich fruits and vegetables.

• Americans eat 230 more calories per day than they did fifteen years ago. Our diet consists of refined foods. Increasing our consumption of nutrient-depleted foods means we have an even higher requirement for the vitamins and minerals needed to metabolize them.

• Those who exercise regularly have a much higher need for antioxidants and minerals.

• Vitamin B2 is needed by those with hypothyroid in amounts greater than can be found in food.

• Men and women need to be optimally nourished long before they have children.

• More than 10% of calories consumed in America come from alcoholic beverages. Alcohol depletes B vitamins, zinc, and magnesium.

• Our epidemic of degenerative diseases is caused by multiple nutrient deficiencies.

• Prescription and over-the-counter medications can deplete nutrients and create deficiencies.

• Birth control pills create B6 deficiencies and increase the need for B6 beyond what the diet can supply.

• Illness increases our need for Vitamin C and zinc well beyond what food can supply.

• Millions of Americans are dieting and need supplements just to meet minimal nutrient requirements. Dieting increases free radical production, and optimal levels of antioxidants are needed to reduce damage to the liver and other organs that can occur during weight loss.
