Macro Nutrient Supplements
A great health science of the 20th century was the science of drugs and micro-nutrients, which was the isolating of specific compounds of plants and animal organs, synthesizing them in a laboratory and putting them in a capsule or tablet or needle and then prescribing them as a cure for our ailments. Amazing things were accomplished by drugs and micro-nutrition in terms of control of infections and management of crisis and abnormal situations.
Regarding human health, however, the new great science of the 21st century is the science of macro nutrients which is the utilization of natural food complexes (not single chemicals) to maintain human health.
Macro nutrient supplements solve all the issues of nutrient balance which concern doctors and nutritionists. Nutrient balance means that a particular nutrient element is not oversup plied to the point of being harmful. Micro-nutrient (laboratory synthesized or isolated) type vitamins or minerals (even when placed together as a multivitamin product) can cause a relative imbalance of specific nutrient elements. Nutrient packages, however, as found in Nature are balanced and supplied as synergistic nutrient complexes with multitudes of nutrient elements that work together to be assimilated and used by the body in maintaining health.
To understand more about the science of macro nutrition we will break it down into three major headings:
- Minerals
- Antioxidants
- Synergistic Complexes
Minerals
These are the fundamental building blocks of the body. In the most elemental description, minerals are the earth we live upon, the very rock we stand on, broken down by erosion, weather and then picked up by vegetation and animals—and processed, ionized into tissues of life. Minerals aren’t very assimilable until they have been processed by plants and converted and compounds that our bodies have the ability to digest.
The body needs a constant supply of minerals so that needed raw materials are available to repair and renew the body. It’s useful to imagine the cellular processes of the body as factory assembly lines. If a part is missing, the assembly line stops until that part can be found.
The science of macro nutrients (in terms of minerals) is to understand how we can get make sure that all the minerals the cells of our bodies need are available in the proper balance so that we can keep our assembly lines functioning.
Antioxidants
On a daily basis each human cell is subjected to 10,000 plus oxidative hits. Each hit represents damage (a chemical reaction) to the individual cells of the body. Such damage is caused by sunlight, x-rays, environmental toxins, exercise, etc. The body utilizes antioxidants to immediately repair or in many cases, to actually take the damage itself (like a bodyguard stands in front of a bullet). Theoretically, if we could thus deflect 100% of the oxidative hits received each day we could delay the aging process indefinitely. You get the picture, the more bodyguards (antioxidants) we have the more healthy we will remain over time.
The science of macro nutrition (in terms of antioxidants) is to understand what foods provide us with antioxidants and antioxidant recyclers so that we can have more antioxidant bodyguards available than oxidative hits.
Synergistic Complexes
Most everyone understands the concept of a catalyst, which is that the presence of one element facilitates a good chemical reaction but remains unchanged. Within Nature, numerous complexes of chemicals such as phytonutrients and phospholids exist that assist numerous chemical reactions to take place in the body that do not take place when the individual molecules are isolated from each other.
This science of macro nutrition (ii terms of synergistic complexes) is to discover what these complexes are so that we can be certain that we are taking full advantage of them. An example of one of these complexes is the Vitamin C complex. Ascorbic acid does a lot by itself, but little when compared to a full nutrient complex of ascorbic acid, bioflavanoids and copper. These synergistic complexes occur in natural food and are very difficult (impossible) to duplicate in the laboratory. It’s an example of how smart Nature is compared to us.
Nearly all of the drug and vitamin companies in the US are in the business of micro nutrition, which is not the macro nutrition of human maintenance.
Therefore, we have several suggestions as to macro nutrient supplements. Nearly all of our recommendations come from a company called Integris that is focused on macro nutrition and digestive aid products. Here are our suggestions:
