With the flu season now in full swing, one of the most commonly-heard phrase in the health arena is 'build up your defense.' Your own body requires a strong defense system.

Antioxidants can help. Antioxidants play the serious role of "janitor" in your body. They go around mopping up excess free radicals before these pesky little scavenger molecules get the chance to damage or destroy your body's cells. In a perfect world, you'd be able to get all the antioxidants you need from a healthy diet alone. Unfortunately, there are just too many free radicals invading your body from:
stress
a poor-quality diet and food additives
environmental pollutants
environmental toxins

Your body's supply of in-house antioxidant "janitors" can't keep up with all their chores. Cleaning up the cell-damaging messes made by the free radicals is a full time job. Without a plentiful supply of crucial antioxidants:
Your body becomes vulnerable to free radical damage.
You lack energy and stamina.
Your immune system operates at less than peak efficiency.

Some well-known antioxidants are Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and maybe even beta-carotene, the precursor to vitamin A. Antioxidants are found natural in vegetables and fruits.

The bad news is this: eating your fruits and veggies may not be enough these days, especially with the nutrient-depleted soil most vegetables come from. You may need to bring in some "outside help." More antioxidant janitors can help to mop up messes the free radicals make, like ...
Injuries to your cell membranes and mitochondria
Damage to your DNA

Make this the Healthiest Season Ever!

Vitamark believes in liquid nutrition as evidenced by its phenomenal Limu Plus drink. We believe in tableted and encapsulated nutrition too—so we're often asked the question, "Are liquid vitamins absorbed better than tableted or encapsulated nutritionals?" I hope the following answer satisfies your query.
***

When considering the question, "Are liquid vitamins absorbed better than tableted or encapsulated nutritionals?" there are many points to consider. First, exactly how and where are nutrients absorbed? Unless they are taken sublingually or injected, they are absorbed in the small intestine. In the digestive process, a supplement whether in liquid or tablet form, must first go through the stomach where it is broken down before entering the small intestine for absorption. The tablets, especially those that meet the United States Pharmacopoeia standards requiring full disintegration within 30-45 minutes and the established guidelines for dissolution (Vitamark's products meet both guidelines), are in their most bioavailable form when they reach the small intestine.

Bioavailability is defined as the degree and rate at which a substance (as a drug) is absorbed into a living system or is made available at the site of physiological activity. Whether or not vitamins and minerals come in tablet, liquid, powder, or food form, they have different absorption rates—the form usually doesn't make much difference. Take Calcium for instance. The standard absorption rate is 25-35%. Knowing this doesn't it make sense to choose a tableted delivery system, which is capable of delivering an increased amount of active ingredients (almost 3 times as much as capsules and much more than a liquid or spray). Because tablets have been shown to be a very efficient delivery system, most pharnaceutical medications are in tablet form. Why would vitamin and mineral supplements be any different? Tableted delivery systems are also generally more stable than liquid systems.

Many other factors can affect the absorption of vitamins and minerals in the body. The function of the person taking the nutrient is dependent on the age of the person, the integrity of their digestive system(which is why the inclusion of digestive enzymes in VitaOne is so significant), the state of their health, time of day, gender, and whether or not the supplements were taken on a full or empty stomach. People whose nutrient needs are greater, such as growing children, pregnant or lactating women and those who are currently deficient may have significantly enhanced absorption rates for certain nutrients. These individual differences make some company’s recent claims of 98% absorption for everyone seem questionable. Even absorption of minerals from food sources can vary significantly. Iodine, molybdenum, and boron can be absorbed from a food source at over 90% while the average absorption rates of copper, zinc and selenium can range from 30-80% depending on the form. Doesn't it make sense that stating an average absorption rate is misleading?

Because the Vitamark tablets are formulated to the United States Pharmacoepia standards of disintegration and dissolution, we believe that the vitamins and minerals found in our supplements are properly absorbed into the body and are very beneficial.

By creating innovative formulations (the inclusion of enzymes, for example), we have been able to optimize nutrient bioavailability. Each batch of Vitamark tablets are tested against finished product specifications to ensure that they meet standards for weight, identity, thickness, hardness, disintegration, potency, purity and microbial counts.

Vitamark's vitamins and minerals, when combined with a healthy diet and, in the proper forms and amounts, will provide an extremely safe, bioavailable, efficient and effective product.

... from Jana Mitcham

Young man feels nervous, depressed and has trouble sleeping when he doesn't have his Limu Plus.

"My grandson is living with me now after a fall his freshman year in high school which resulted in a broken back that went undetected for three years due to misdiagnosis shortly after the fall. I will spare you the details of all he has been through due to no fault of his own, but eventually put him in dispair pain, depression,and rebellion.

He is now trying to rebuild his life, he "was" so nervous, angry and hard to live with. About a year ago he took Limu Plus that I had in the refigerator, he liked it and said then that it helped him. When he came this November to stay with me again he ask about that purple juice..it took me a minute to remember what he was talking about. I looked up the testimonies that you have on the website and from what other people have said, and what he said after only taking it a short time a year ago..I just knew I had to order some for him.

I noticed that the bottle of Limu Plus was going down and knew I better order some more.

Then yesterday when he was taking his Limu Plus he said "I know this is expensive, and I tried to cut back on it but I hate to run out of this because I really feel AWFUL when I don't take it! I said, "in what way?" he said I just feel so nervous and depressed and don't sleep.

Needless to say I just ordered his second bottle and hope it gets here soon, only a few days left..my own fault!

He is also taking Vitamins now... along with the Cold and Flu which helped him get through some bad sinus concerns. I can't say enough for that product either!

Thank you for the good and dependable formulas you provide, and we KNOW we can trust. I have been a member/ distributor many years so I can say that in all honesty.

I have many other testimonies and I will send more, but this one has sure blessed my heart.

Thank you and God Bless you all.

Nancy"
