The Truth about Vitamins & Minerals...

Why Your Minerals Might Be Doing More Harm Than Good: The Hidden Truth

We all know we need vitamins and minerals to stay healthy. Many of us take supplements, believing we’re doing the right thing for our bodies. But have you ever stopped to wonder if your vitamins and minerals are actually working? It’s time to take a closer look at the labels and ask yourself: Are you really getting the nutrition you think you are, or are you throwing away your money—and possibly harming your health?

The Shocking Decline of Nutrients in Our Food

Once upon a time, we could count on fresh fruits and vegetables to provide the minerals our bodies need. But today, even when you’re urging your kids to eat their veggies, they aren’t getting the same nutrient value. The mineral content in our produce has dropped dramatically since 1940, leaving us overfed but undernourished. Here’s how much we’ve lost:

- Copper: Down 86% in vegetables and 29% in fruits

- Zinc: Down 73% in vegetables and 38% in fruits

- Calcium: Down 60% in vegetables and 24% in fruits

- Iron: Down 38% in vegetables and 34% in fruits

- Magnesium: Down 34% in vegetables and 24% in fruits

- Potassium: Down 24% in vegetables and 29% in fruits

That’s a massive drop, which means our bodies aren’t getting the essential nutrients we need from our food alone. But before you rush to stock up on supplements, here’s something you should know.

The Wrong Minerals Could Be Harming You

Many popular supplements use minerals that our bodies can’t absorb. Look out for these terms on your supplement labels: Iron Oxide, Copper Sulphate, Magnesium Chloride, and Zinc Phosphate. These minerals are often mined from depleted soils and come in a metallic, inorganic form that our bodies struggle to absorb. Worse, these poorly absorbed minerals can actually do more harm than good.

How? These unbound minerals can generate free radicals—unstable molecules that damage healthy cells. This means that instead of helping your body, these minerals can destroy vital antioxidants like Vitamin A, C, and E, which protect your cells from damage. So, you could be taking a multivitamin thinking it’s boosting your health when it’s actually making things worse.

So, What’s the Solution?

Scientists have found a way to duplicate how plants absorb minerals. Plants naturally bind minerals to amino acids and fructose fibers, making them bioavailable—easily absorbed by the human body. Using this principle, Oligo patented technology has been developed to bind minerals in the same way. This technology has been scientifically proven to enhance mineral absorption and actually benefit your body the way you expect.

Inflammation: The Hidden Culprit

If your body isn’t absorbing minerals properly, it can lead to inflammation, which is caused by stress, illness, injury, heavy exercise, pollution, allergies, and poor diet. Inflammation produces excessive free radicals, which create a vicious cycle of damage, aging, and disease. Free radicals are linked to most degenerative conditions, including heart disease, Alzheimer’s, cancer, diabetes, and arthritis. Unfortunately we probably all know one or more people with these conditions, right?

Shockingly, most national brand supplements actually increase free radical activity, instead of reducing it! Studies have shown that these supplements provide no measurable benefit and can even destroy the antioxidants that our bodies need to fight free radicals.

The Power of the Right Supplements!

The good news is, you can fight free radicals by choosing the right supplements. Vitamins like C (which is water-soluble) protect your blood and fluids, while Vitamin E (which is fat-soluble) protects your fat cells and muscles from free radical damage, but again, you need the right type of supplement!

The best absorbable vitamins and minerals come from a privately-owned, family-run company that has been around for over 30 years. They use Oligo patented technology to create supplements that are backed by research and proven to work. Not only that, but this company offers over 400 chemical free and toxins-free products, from household cleaners to personal care items, all made in America. They even provide hormone-free, antibiotic-free beef—delivered right to your door!
