A high-performing metabolism
There are thousands of vital functions going on in your body and mine. Perpetuating the miracle of our daily life here on earth. Vitamins, minerals, trace elements and secondary plant compounds are crucial to these processes.
Based on the recent USDA survey (CSFII), people do not catch up with the required minimum for a healthy condition. More than 80 percent of women and more than 70 percent of men consume less than two-thirds of the RDA for one or more nutrients. And in other western countries the numbers are only slightly different.
Yet in times of an increased need, like for stressed individuals, pregnant and nursing mothers, the elderly, anyone who is ill or has recently been ill, women who take the pill, menopausal women, anyone on drugs and adolecents, the body has an even higher demand. Furthermore very few people are truly healthy.
RDA's should be looked on as minimum levels to prevent disease, which says nothing about amounts needed for optimum health. It is so unfortunate that the majority of people do not even meet the minimum. I do encourage you to explore the short yet precise informations on this website.
