Re: Optimum health is not found in a bottle

Yes, I get some of that colored whizz after I take a full dose of intraMAX, but not as much as I once got with a single capsule of TRC Labs multi-vitamins which contained far, far few nutrients in far smaller amounts.  On the other hand, back when I was taking the cheapo mulit, I found that taking bromelain at the same time resulted in much less color being passed alone.  As you know, the digestive enzyme bromelain is a powerful binder (studies found that taking bromelain with amoxicillin increased absorption 2 1/2 times).  The best form of bromelain is found mostly in the stems of pineapple plants.  A couple of cautionary notes: First, the quality of supplemental bromelain varies widely.  Very widely.  I found that out personally when I switched brands and most of the multi-vitamin color returned. And secondly, anyone who does use it, one should be cautious when using it along with any mainstream meds or other items which have limiting doses as it could potentiate their absorption and effects.  For example, I wouldn't want to increase digoxin/digitalis by 2 1/2 times.

You are quite right - hard to overdo nutrition from whole foods diet alone.  Perhaps equally hard to get the optimum amount of nutrition day in and day out from diet alone - thanks to our mineral depleted soils and the items on our grocers shelves which have had most of the nutrition processed out and harmful additives processed in for taste, texture, color and shelf life.  THAT is why I endeavor to eat an increasingly healthier diet and supplement with the intraMAX, superfoods powder and sea vegetable caps.  Otherwise, I don't think I could come close to optimum nutrition.   It might be possible if you lived in the right area, had your own land, grew your own crops and amended the soils, etc., but highly unlikely and impractical for most of us.

Man has been designed to operate with less than optimum nutrition, and as far as I can tell mankind has seldom, if ever, had optimum nutrition on a daily basis.  But we surely do operate better when we do get better nutrition.
