Facts about Full Spectrum Nutrition

Your body requires a number of different nutrients each day to support its functions and activities. The more active you are, the more nutrients your body is utilizing, and the higher the need is for you to replace these lost nutrients. It is almost impossible to receive all the nutrients you need each day through a normal healthy diet, so full spectrum nutritional supplementation becomes critical.

A Full Spectrum of nutrients includes vitamins, trace and major minerals and amino acids. It is important that your body receive these nutrients in the correct ratios and combinations, as fragmenting your nutrition by only taking certain nutrients can lead to overdoses or imbalances.

An important aspect of Full Spectrum Nutrition includes organic trace and major minerals. These colloidal plant-derived minerals contribute to thousands of chemical activities in the body and exercise a positive effect on other nutrients such as vitamins. In this way the body is able to retain these water-soluble nutrients for a much longer period of time before naturally excreting them.

In addition to trace and major minerals, vitamins and amino acids, Full Spectrum Nutrition now includes a balance of Phytonutrients. Phytonutrients are natural compounds present in fresh fruits and vegetables that have been shown in clinical studies to support the body’s immune system and help protect against cellular oxidative damage from free radical formation.

If you are active or placing excess demands on your body you require additional amounts of certain vitamins (A, E and the B Vitamins), minerals (including chromium, zinc, and manganese) and specialized nutrients such as bioflavonoids and dimethyl glycine. Even more important are powerful antioxidants such as NAC, grapeseed extract, CoQ10 and lycopene which provide the body’s best defense against free radical damage.
