PureFood Nutrients

Multivitamin/mineral complex providing vitamins and minerals in a bio-transformed nutrient and cofactor matrix Indications: v 9Men and women ages 18 and over Vitamin/Mineral Distinctions: v Unique fermentation technology to deliver vitamins and minerals along with cofactors naturally contained in food v Vegan vitamin D derived from mushroom Special Features: v Enhanced with a comprehensive blend of organic fruits and vegetables v Vegan PureFood Nutrients contains nutrients that are derived using a unique fermentation technology. In a controlled environment, budding plants are fed a nourishing broth enriched with bioactive peptides, vitamins, and minerals. These peptides facilitate the transformation of these nutrients into the plant’s cellular matrix. Once the growing process is complete, proteolytic enzymes are used to break down the cell walls and release the intracellular material. Biotransformed nutrient extracts derived in this manner are part of a comprehensive complex that provides cofactors contained in food. Nutrients existing in a food state cannot be isolated to one fractionated organic compound, and therefore are listed by nutrient name and main fermentation component. Research suggests food sources of vitamins and minerals can promote beta-carotene, ascorbic acid, chromium, calcium, vitamin D, and antioxidant vitamin levels. Food sources of vitamins also provide other healthy phytochemicals. For some nutrients, natural forms have been shown to be more bioavailable. Vitamin D is provided as vegan vitamin D2 from portobello mushrooms. A clinical study determined that healthy adults who ingested 2,000 IU of Vitamin D2 from mushrooms daily for 3 months were able to raise and maintain their total 25(OH)-D concentrations similarly to healthy adults who ingested supplements containing 2,000 IU of either Vitamin D2 or D3.‡
