Food is medicine.
This is the hill I will die on. I come from a long line of women using food as medicine and I will continue to firmly believe this to be true.
Here’s some facts :: supplements are made (at least the good whole food ones) from extracts from nature — the plant leaves, fruit or roots. One of the main reasons they like to isolate an extract is profit…. big money, big money, big money.
Yes this extract often works but let me let you in on a little secret…
Often there is more benefit by consuming the original source ie the food because the absorption, assimilation and overall effectiveness and benefits are often due to a combination of what is in the original berry, plant, root. Consuming the whole food is more balanced then a supplement meaning you’re way less likely to have big side effects or any side effects for that manner from a food sourced nutrient then you are from a nutrient in isolation.
This is why my mom had us eat a balanced diet… real food from our garden, fruit, veggies, meat, and homemade bread and tea — she loves her teas. She believed in food as medicine and she is a vibrant 73 year old on zero medications so I’m going to believe her because she is living proof!!
This is why our products have simple ingredients and are jam packed with real food… our farm grown organic elderberry being the main ingredient in everything we create.
Food is medicine and food is a powerful way to take back control of your health and vitality!
