About the quality of dietary supplements
There is a difference in the quality of water, and actually also with the vitamins and minerals from dietary supplements, although we may not think much about it.
We do not classify water respectively as organic or non organic. The same goes with concentrated vitamins and minerals from dietary supplements, because it does not make much sense.
We have throughout our evolutionary history been accustomed to natural vitamins from the diet, but not to synthetic vitamins.
100% natural vitamins are in practice food. Not old food or heated food which loses much of its enzyme and vitamin content, but fresh, unprocessed food.
As a consequence of our urbanized and stressful lifestyle the modern dietary supplementation emerged, but despite its popularity, relatively few have shown an interest in the quality of these supplements.
Actually, the quality of dietary supplements can be traced back to America in the 1950s, when two researchers, Dr. Ehrenfried Pfeiffer and Dr. Justa Smith compared natural nutrients with the corresponding synthetic nutrient and discovered that in many cases there´s a big difference.
They dripped solutions of food-vitamin complexes and their synthetic counterparts of chromatography paper that had been sensitized with a 0.1 N silver nitrate solution, after which they compared the patterns in the two categories and noted that were very different.
It was also Dr. Pfeiffer´s research showing that a solution of a synthetic substance illuminated with polarized light the reflected the light to the left, whereas the corresponding natural substance reflected the light to the right.
Natural versus synthetic vitamins Therefore, two chemically identical vitamins can have two different spatial structures. This is also known as D- and L-forms. The one form is recognized, absorbed and utilized optimally by the body, contrary the other form has a lesser bioavailability and may in some cases perhaps even weaken the body more than it will benefit it.
Causing the body to accept a synthetic vitamin has been compared with getting a left-hand-glove to fit your right hand.
Nature Identical vitamins In practice, however, we have a third category called nature identical vitamins. The spatial structure of the isolated vitamin is similar to that found in nature. Vitamins found in nature never occurs as isolated substances, but always togehter with different enzymes and so-called secondary plant substances.
Therefore, it is a benefit that a vitamin supplement contains herbal substances, ie. dried plants.
In practice it can be necessary to stabilize nature identical vitamins in the form of salts if they are to be used as supplements. Never the less nature identical vitamins are far better than synthetic and can easily be dosed higher than vitamins in foods.
Minerals Minerals are simply elements, but since our bodies are unable to incorporate pure elements very well, chelating substances are bound to the minerals. These substances may be organic or inorganic acids. Also here we find a difference in quality, as organically bound minerals are absorbed better in the body than inorganic.
When we know there is this difference in quality of vitamin and mineral supplements, why do we not find the best nutrients in all products?
This is due to several things. Nature identical vitamins are more expensive than synthetic. Organically bound minerals are bulkier than inorganic. This makes the tablets either too large or causes the daily amount to be distributed among more tablets, which makes the product more expensive.
Health authorities also uses toxicologists (experts in poisons) to assess the mineral compounds, which can be permitted in dietary supplements. In some cases they seem to favor non-optimal mineral compounds merely if they are excreted quickly from the body rather than organically bound mineral compounds with better health effects, but take longer time to be excreted.
GoOrganics products Genese GoOrganic supports the ecological concept and do not cut corners when it comes to the ingredients in our products.
Our products are designed and manufactured in Denmark. We choose nature identical vitamins and organic bound minerals and selected herbs in our products.
GoOrganic´s product line
Consists of supplements for adult women, for pregnant women, for children, for men, for those lacking calcium, for those lacking energy, for those lacking omega 3,6,7 and 9, for those lacking nutrition for skin, hair and nails and for those in general need of quality all round supplementation. In addition, we have a special series of so-called frequency modulated products somewhat resembling homeopathy.
A healthy New Year to all our readers !
