Bad News & Good News

Health Tips

First the bad news… if you take vitamin and mineral supplements in tablet form, you may be doing yourself more harm than good. It’s a sad fact that most of the nutrients in tablet supplements just pass through us and end up in the toilet. It’s true, even though the makers and sellers of those tablets spend billions of advertising dollars to convince us otherwise.

For years I believed that I was getting a benefit by taking multi-vitamin/mineral supplements in pills. They were fairly inexpensive and very convenient. I had no idea that the binding agents, moisture retardants, and coatings to extend shelf life (up to three years) are too hard to digest. Some of the nutrients that do make it into the blood (usually about 10%) are not absorbed into the cells due to nutrient particle size. They clump together making them too large to be absorbed by the cells. I had always thought that my digestive process took care of all that.

Alarmingly, some of the 10% that does make it to your blood stream may cause harm with long term use. Due to the binding agents used, some particles too large to be absorbed by your cells, stick to the walls of the arteries causing problems in some people. That might explain why so-called “health nuts” drop dead with a heart attack, and the increase in strokes. That’s the bad news… now the good news.

NHR (Natural Healthy Results), a young progressive thinking company, with a vision to bring wellness to the world through nutrition, formulated a liquid supplement. They looked to nature for the blueprint. They saw that water is the basis for all nutrient delivery systems. In plants, nutrients are taken from the soil and transformed within the plant in water. When we eat food, our body liberates the nutrients from that water.

NHR calls their liquid supplement, EPIC ULTRA ALL-in-ONE, a Liquid Multi Formula that contains twelve formulas in one 32 oz. bottle. The nutrients in ALL-in-One get from your stomach to your blood and from your blood to your cells, tissues, and organs, even if your digestion is not the best. Your cells are attracted to ALL-in-One like a magnet, and you can feel it start working in about 3 minutes. All this for only $19.95! If you purchased each ingredient in ALL-in-One separately it would cost over $200.

Only one or two ounces a day covers all aspects of vibrant living and disease prevention by giving us everything we need in a fully absorbable and usable form. Using the Creator’s perfect model, I believe the ALL-in-One Liquid Multi Formula is the next step in nutritional wellness.

The views expressed in this article are my own experience and personal opinion. I do not want to give anyone medical or health advice. It’s strictly up to you if you want to take supplements, and if so, do you want to take pills or liquid?
