The Whole Truth: Whole Food vs. Synthetic Supplements with No Label Nutrition™

The Whole Truth: Whole Food vs. Synthetic Supplements with No Label Nutrition™

When it comes to nourishing our bodies, it's essential to ensure that we're not just focusing on the quantity of what we consume, but the quality as well. Supplements have taken the health world by storm, promising to fill the nutritional gaps that our daily diets might miss. However, many don't realize that there are two distinct types of supplements: whole food and synthetic. No Label Nutrition™ is here to break it down for you.

The Synthetic Side: What Most People Are Consuming

Surprisingly, the overwhelming majority of supplements purchased in stores or online fall under the category of synthetic supplements. But what exactly does 'synthetic' mean when it comes to nutritional intake?

What are Synthetic Supplements?

Synthetic supplements are man-made, formulated in labs to replicate the vitamins and minerals naturally found in foods. They are the result of chemical processes and often contain fillers, binders, dyes, and other artificial ingredients. While they may seem like a convenient way to get your daily dose of nutrients, there's a lot they're missing.

What's in Them?

1. Chemical Compounds: Synthetic supplements often contain chemical versions of vitamins and minerals. For instance, Vitamin E in its synthetic form is termed 'dl-alpha-tocopheryl,' while its natural counterpart is 'd-alpha-tocopheryl.'

2. Fillers and Additives: To form a pill or capsule, many synthetic supplements contain fillers like talc or cornstarch. They might also have additives for color or to extend shelf life.

What's Not in Them?

1. Coenzymes: Natural vitamins come with coenzymes, which help the body absorb and utilize them. Synthetic versions don't have these crucial partners, making it harder for your body to use the vitamins effectively.

2. Natural Balance: Foods naturally contain a balanced combination of nutrients. This harmony can be lost in synthetic supplements, potentially leading to nutrient imbalances.

The Whole Food Wonder: No Label Nutrition's™ Promise

Whole food supplements, on the other hand, are made from condensed or dehydrated foods. They maintain the natural balance of nutrients, ensuring that your body gets what it needs in the form it recognizes.

What are Whole Food Supplements?

Whole food supplements are derived directly from foods. They're typically made by grinding up dried foods or using them in their natural liquid form. The result? A supplement that retains the original nutrient balance, coenzymes, and associated bioactive compounds.

How are They Made?

At No Label Nutrition™, the process begins with high-quality ingredients sourced primarily from the state of Utah. We use a careful process to maintain the natural nutrient content:

1. Harvesting: We ensure our ingredients are harvested at their nutritional peak.

2. Dehydration: Ingredients are gently dried to preserve their nutrient value.

3. Grinding: The dried foods are then ground into a powder.

4. Encapsulation: Finally, the powder is encapsulated or formed into pills.
