An apple. a day. A high fiber diet. Whole grains. Dark green vegetables. It all sounds perfect, but with today's nutritionally compromised foods, we can eat what most people consider a well-balanced meal every day for three days & still not reach the minimal Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA). Additionally, the RDA doesn't meet our bodies' needs & has been dubbed "the minimum wage of nutrition." This is why taking therapeutic supplements like a high-powered multi-vitamin/mineral, essential fatty acids, & broad-spectrum antioxidants is vital.
However, vitamins are to augment what is missing in fruits & vegetables - NOT a replacement for them. We need to eat phytochemicals & phytonutrients that promote & preserve health.

Learn more in Chapter 11 of by Lisa Everett Andersen , RPh, Certified Clinical Nutritionist and why a therapeutic multi-vitamin/mineral is so very important.

Our latest blog post features an article written by Dr. Arden Andersen entitled "Our Food Product System" summarizing the history of pesticides and GMOs in farming, what you can do to find the healthiest produce, and why nutritional farming and going back to the laws of nature are the solution to healthier soils, plants, and people.

Our Food Product System and how, nutrition, not genetics, is the solution for healthier crops with higher yields and pesticide-free farming.
