intraMAX® All-In-One Dietary Supplement
Statistics show that, even if your diet were the best, you would most likely not get the nutrients from your food needed to maintain optimum health. Soil depletion, farming techniques, pollution, and food processing all contribute to the depletion of vitamins and minerals in foods today. Note some of the following:
v The 1992 Earth Summit Report shows that the mineral content of the world's farm and range land soil has decreased dramatically over the past 100 years. Highest on the list is North America, with a depletion of 85%.
v Farmers today cultivate crops for yield and pick them prematurely for shipping. Farming practices that have been the best for yield have not been the best for nutrition. High pith and water content responsible for those large, tasteless fruits and vegetables in the supermarket, bring in the most money for crops. These vegetables tend to have lower vitamin and mineral content. Prematurely picked fruit does not have time to develop sun-related nutrients. Anthocyanins are one such class of nutrients which, says Terri Mitchell in a 2001 article for Life Extension, "...are plant sunscreens. When humans ingest them, they provide protection against DNA damage, brain cell deterioration, cancer, and more."
v In its December 2004 issue, The Journal of the American College of Nutrition published findings from University of Texas researchers showing that levels of calcium, riboflavin, vitamin C, iron, potassium, and protein in vegetables and fruits have significantly declined since 1950.
This short list is a tiny example of the literature that documents the decline in nutritional value of our food.
As a result of this decline and the links made to chronic and degenerative diseases, leading medical researchers now recommend that everyone take a multivitamin along with additional anti-oxidants to supplement their diet. David Heber, M.D., Ph.D., Director of the Center for Human Nutrition, UCLA, made the following statement at a press conference for the Council on Responsible Nutrition, March 31, 1998:
"We now have a substantial body of data showing that if everyone took a few supplements every day they could significantly lower their risk of a multitude of serious diseases."
intraMAX® as a one-stop shopping multi-vitamin/multi-mineral and antioxidant supplement to satisfy this recommendation for daily supplementation. While no supplement is a substitute for a healthy and varied diet, it can help to fill in the gaps where nutrition may be lacking.
intraMAX® is 100% organic and has 124 antioxidants, a complete array of vitamins, major minerals and trace minerals in an easily assimilated liquid form. intraMAX® contains 11 optimum seeds, and 24 herbs, including Bilberry Extract (Bilberry Extract contains anthocyanins, the nutrients which are natural sun screens). Additionally, intraMAX®'s organic colloidal minerals are bound in carbon. This patented formula not only helps to deliver nutrition to the body but also aids in the breakdown of toxins so that the toxins can be eliminated from the body.
In today's world of vitamin and mineral deficient food, you can, more than ever, benefit from daily supplementation.
