Natural Supplements:
When "5 A Day" is just not possible.
The
Standard American Diet (SAD) consists of processed foods,
red meat, refined carbohydrates, food additives, soft
drinks, and fried foods making Natural Supplements a
necessity. It takes someone who is very determined,
has a strong discipline, and a deep wallet to eat the
right amount of vegetables and fruits everyday to get
enough essential vitamins and minerals to ward off chronic
disease. Natural Supplements can be the difference between
good health and chronic diseases. The National Cancer
Institute (NCI) along with several other partners have
joined together to educate Americans on Nutrition. "The
goal of the National 5 a Day for Better Health Program
is to increase the consumption of fruits and vegetables
in the United States to 5 to 9 servings every day. In
addition to this goal, the program seeks to inform Americans
that eating fruits and vegetables can improve their
health and reduce the risk of cancer and other diseases,
including heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and
macular degeneration." (National Cancer
Institute)
"Approximately 70 percent of all adults and children
in the U.S. do not eat the recommended servings of fruits
and vegetables a day for good health." (National
Cancer Institute) Natural Supplements can bridge
the gap of our fast paced society and good health by
providing all of the vitamins and minerals normally
obtained through eating fruits and vegetables. This
is not to say that Natural Supplements should take the
place of fruits and vegetables, but Natural Supplements
can be a way to ensure that we get enough to sustain
optimal health. Natural Supplements are formulated to
give you 100 % of your USRDI (United States Required
Daily Intake) of vitamins and minerals. Without Natural
Supplements, a person must eat a wide variety (different
colors mean different vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants)
of fruits and vegetables daily to accomplish this and
this can become quite cumbersome.
Natural Supplements should be easily assimilated by
the body and should not contain unnecessary fillers. Also, be sure of where the product is being made
and what standards are being followed. When looking for Natural Supplements you can trust Växa
International. Less than ½ of 1% of the nutritional manufacturing facilities in the country match
the exacting standards followed in the
Växa facility. All of our products are manufactured in a lab
that follows standards beyond those suggested under Good Manufacturing Procedure guidelines. The
manufacturing lab is a clinical environment with all stainless steel construction. To clean the
lab we utilize UV sterilization, carbon filter, reverse osmosis, ozone injection, mix bed de-ionization
and boiler kettle our own water. This procedure is above kosher requirements. Above all, we will not
compromise on ingredient quality. For each ingredient we screen potential suppliers by several critical
factors. We ask questions such as: "In which region was it grown?" "Is it certified organic?" "Was it
grown for supplements or for whole foods?" "How do you prevent degradation of the product?" and "Is
it irradiated or chemically cleaned?"
