Given proper nutrition, the human body has an amazing ability to heal itself. If properly fed and given the right nutrients, the human body is designed to repair itself. To do so, we need to eat a healthier diet, exercise, and take high-quality supplements made from whole foods. Whole food supplements supply our bodies with nutrients we are not getting from our diet, all the vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, and phytonutrients that foods possess in a way that nature intended, in a whole food form.

Junky vitamins are often passed off as quality, and many times are endorsed by a physician or celebrity. There are many tricks that low quality supplement companies use to hide their poor quality, spending more money on marketing than on what is under the hood.
Review: The Best Tasting Green Superfood Powder Products

There's increasing awareness today about the health benefits of drinking superfood powders. Anyone who has been reading NaturalNews for very long knows that cruciferous vegetables prevent cancer, berries protect the nervous system and prevent heart disease, chlorella cleanses the liver and blood, curcumin prevents cancer and arthritis, cherries ease inflammation, pomegranates prevent prostate cancer, and so on. But many people who are new to superfood products are a bit put off by the intense tastes of the more potent powders (after all, they're not sugared up like soda, and they contain no artificial sweeteners). Not surprisingly, I'm constantly being asked what's available on the market that actually tastes good. For this review, I'm sharing the details on the top seven superfood products that I'm familiar with.

If you want a comprehensive understanding of what vitamins are and what they do in your body, it would be best to take a full course in biochemistry. Do you remember all of those molecular formulas and chemical reactions that you studied in your high school chemistry class? Biochemistry is really just an extension of chemistry, with an emphasis on the thousands of chemical reactions that occur in your body on a moment-to-moment basis.

Glyconutrients / Glyconutritionals

Glyconutrients are not vitamins, minerals, herbals, homeopathics or enzymes. They are a class all to themselves. They are supplements derived from nature that have been formulated based on a new understanding in biochemistry of how our bodies maintain health at the cellular level. This new discovery is as significant as the discovery of the role of vitamins, essential fatty acids, and amino acids in how the body functions. Glyconutritionals are the foods and nutritional supplements that provide saccharides along with other glycoforms (lipids and proteins) essential to the body, but which are scarce in most diets.
Ionic Minerals

Minerals fit into the category of The Basics of Health. We need them everyday. Every day you don’t get your minerals you are chopping off a few hours or a few days of your life. There is no such thing as "eating right." If the minerals aren't in the soil where the food is grown, they are not in our foods. Many over-the-counter vitamin and mineral supplements are made with inorganic and synthetic components that are not easily assimilated by our bodies.

The gutless cowards of Congress, a majority of whom are on the Big Pharma payroll or will be on it once they leave Congress, have delegated their lawmaking powers granted by the U.S. Constitution to a bunch of Big Pharma-friendly unelected bureaucrats at the FDA, who are in turn using this power to undermine free commerce and help Big Pharma eliminate competition from the market.
