B12 Vitamins

Whole Foods and Health
By Brazos Minshew, TriVita Chief Science Officer

Humans are designed to eat food.

Minerals from the soil are broken down by bacteria from large, rock-like molecules into tiny molecules often bound to protein. These miniature minerals are absorbed by plants. Plants use soil, water, air and sunlight to create active minerals and vitamins. We eat the plants and gain the benefits of their work. (Sometimes we eat the animals that have eaten the plants.)

We are designed to digest plants and extract the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. We are designed to desire the plants as food. Culinary artists tell us that we have large taste buds for sweet, salty, sour, bitter and acrid/pungent tastes and smells that attract us to various foods; these taste buds trigger cravings before we eat and satiety after we eat.

The journey of digestion
Hunger will be triggered if our brain detects a deficiency in any nutrient. These include macro nutrients like carbohydrates and sugars, protein, fats, water and fiber. It also includes micro nutrients like calcium, magnesium and Vitamin C. In a wonderful way, our body communicates the nature of the deficiency. For example, we crave sweets when we need Vitamin C. Cravings are the language our body uses to communicate its needs. We need to use our brains when interpreting this language!

As we anticipate eating a food that satisfies our cravings, we begin to salivate and our stomach prepares to receive the food. Microscopic particles of our meal enter the bloodstream and lymphatic system as we chew the food. This triggers our small intestines, liver, gall bladder, immune system and hormone regulatory system to prepare for the next steps of digestion and assimilation.

Macronutrients have special enzymes that break out the vitamins and minerals we need from the foods: Amylase for starches, Protease for proteins, Lipase for fats, etc. These are present throughout the digestive tract, but they are concentrated in the first 10 inches of the small intestines. Without whole foods, these special enzymes will not be released. Without these enzymes, vitamins will not be liberated from the food.

Renting your vitamins
You have actually seen evidence of vitamins that were rejected by your body because they were not properly digested. You may not have recognized the signs. But, have you ever seen your urine change colors after taking a vitamin? This is a sign that the vitamins were rejected. You did not buy the vitamins, you merely rented them! Do you want to know how to keep the vitamins you take?

The answer is simple: Humans are designed to eat food. Take your vitamins with food and you will increase your chance to absorb them. If you have indigestion, try one of the over-the-counter digestive enzyme blends to help out where you may be deficient. Use probiotics from fermented foods as a digestive aid as well. Most important: start with food-based vitamins for the best absorption!

Food-based nutrients
Remember, humans are designed to eat food. That is why we created VitaDaily AM-PM and Wellavoh for Women and Men in a whole food base. VitaDaily contains 25 whole food concentrates that represent many of the foods we eat the least in North America. TriVita Kids Multi-Vitamin also contains 25 whole food concentrates and digestive enzymes for support. Wellavoh contains over 30 whole foods in different blends, including a special blend to aid digestion of the nutrients.

Cravings are your bodys way of communicating needs and deficiencies. Taking your nutrients should erase your cravings and make you feel better. But, they will not do their job if they are not digested. Use whole food supplements as a Foundation for the nutrients we need for health today and a healthier tomorrow!
