Consumer Health Alert: Why Whole Food Supplements Are Better Than Isolated Nutrients

TORRANCE, Calif. - April 21, 2015 - PRLog -- Americans are buying more vitamins and supplements. But many of the chronic diseases and health concerns Americans suffer from are not going away. Why?

Because isolated nutrients don’t do the same work that whole food and whole food supplements do.Whole food provides real healing power that goes far beyond isolated compounds.

"Whole food supplements have the kind of nutrition that has evolved alongside our bodies over millions of years," explains integrative medicine pioneer Michael E. Rosenbaum, MD. "Whole food supplements have nutrition our bodies know how to use. And whole food nutrition gives our bodies the full array of nutrients our body needs in the right proportions.When you use whole food supplements you tap into the real healing power of food."

Whole food supplements – made from concentrated whole foods – contain the same complex mix of enzymes, vitamins, minerals, co-factors, trace minerals, unique phytonutrients, special fats and more – that is found in the original food.

It’s the difference between the music created by a full orchestra and that of one violin.

Here’s an example:

Researchers tested the antioxidant power of apples with their skins, apples without skins and isolated vitamin C which is found in apples. One hundred grams of the apple with skin provided the equivalent of 83 trolox of antioxidant power. The apple without skin offered only 46 trolox.

And the straight vitamin C? Less than 1.

When tested against human colon and hepatic cancer lines, the apple with skin trumped both the apple without skin and the vitamin C easily.

Why?

First of all, there's the additive effect with whole food supplements.

"The apple with skin may not have much more vitamin C than the C alone," notes Dr. Rosenbaum. "But it has perhaps dozens of other antioxidants in it that add up to super antioxidant power.Whole foods may not provide rich supplies of one specific nutrient. But that may not matter because the various antioxidants housed in the fruit may add up to more fighting power."

There's also the synergistic effect. For example, neither lycopene nor vitamin E do much to cancer cells on their own. But when put together – voila! – they can reduce the growth of cancer cells by 73%!

This is a great example of synergy. Synergy essentially means that 1 + 1 makes more than 2. Synergy means 1 + 1 = 4 or 5 or 6!

In other words, instead of just adding up, certain combinations of nutrients offer exponentially much larger health benefits than they would on their own.

Somehow the two different compounds bring out the best in each other, “optimizing the mechanisms” of each other when combined.

"We all know the old adage, an apple a day keeps the doctor away," says Dr. Rosenbaum. "But now we've tossed the whole fruit aside. Instead, we're hoping to get the same results from all the isolated components of the apple. To get the real nutritional benefits of food, I urge my patients to opt for whole foods and whole food supplements, like Sun Chlorella."
