Why whole food supplements


Learn more about Food Supplements

We live in the world that is so in love with this skewed perception of beauty. A world where the media represent the "beauty" as something that has lost almost all sense of the word itself. This sad reality has pushed millions of people around the world to follow diets extreme and unhealthy lifestyles just by what they see on television, hear on the news or see in movies. Fortunately, we are also starting slowly to come to our senses and among the most recent wave of waves in which they are aware of their health are moving to organic food supplements.

What the hell is this?

Food supplements or whole food supplements are supplements made from whole foods concentrated. In other words, this is food supplements are made from 100% organic sources. They are made without any synthetic ingredients, often vegetables and fruits grown in soil that is rich in minerals, without the use of harmful chemicals such as pesticides or additives or preservatives. Think of them as health food in pill form or capsules and you get the general idea.

Since You've probably heard so far, eating organic foods or healthy foods and is making its way people more aware of health throughout the world. It has been demonstrated to be healthier in general, and can often provide the necessary vitamins in minerals than most synthetic junk food lose. Also the fact of large numbers of people are moving to organic food because they want to avoid the potential health hazards of eating meat and genetically modified plants, which are basically swimming in pesticides.

At its core, which is essentially the same with organic food supplements - Choose the healthiest, best alternative to your normal daily health and synthetic supplements.

Is in the difference - Consider how a health supplement or vitamin supplement is supposed to work, ideally, provides the necessary amount of vitamins and minerals your body required daily by delivery in concentrated amounts - in most cases in a pill or capsule. Now most synthetic supplements promise the same and in most cases are not really lying.

However, most synthetic supplements as just recreate a part in vitamin or mineral, which is not being provided the other necessary parts, such as enzymes, coenzymes, antioxidants, trace elements and activities that help the body absorb vitamins in the first place! Organic food supplements on the other hand, make a point to do exactly what their synthetic counterparts.

Food supplements organics are designed to recreate the entire process. That means that when you take them, which are designed to simulate the way we normally get the most advantage of the food they are eating. They are specifically designed to not only take the vitamins and minerals your body needs in concentrated form, but they also come with enzymes, coenzymes, antioxidants, trace elements and triggers your body needs to absorb them! So ends with vitamins and nutrients that are actually used by the body.

Improved taste

by Levic from Trinidad on 2010-07-24
I used to buy this brand/product a few years back and what I noticed was the improvement in taste. Back then, I had to mix it with powders and drinks that covered up the grassy taste....now, I just use Vanilla flavor Almond Milk or the Soy Milk and it taste great....the only thing is that it is a little gritty. In terms of how I feel..with the old version, I had improved energy and my skin looked nice....I don't notice anything with this version...but it cannot be bad for you, there is good stuff in here. So I will still drink it.


Organic Grass

by amazon freak from on 2010-07-13
This product was purchased for my mom. She's was using the real wheat grass n was tired of securing them till she found this on Amazon. The powder is really gOod she adds them to Juice or smoothy. She feels her day goes well having organic wheat everyday. Good product. Recommended for any ages.


It's OK

by cb from on 2010-07-05
This product is OK. I have tatsted better but this is doable. It's best with juice.


Finally an easy way to get your vegetables

by The Endz from New York, NY on 2010-07-01
The hardest part about trying to lose weight is, obviously, eating healthy. There are literally fast food restaurants everywhere! And if you have the willpower to walk into one and leave with a salad then you have more will power than most. Enter the Green Superfood. No longer do I stop to pick up a bagel and coffee on my way in to work. I now make a breakfast smoothie consisting of soy milk, 1 scoop of peanut butter, a banana, one scoop of protein powder, some ice cubes, and the green superfood. I've never felt so energized in my life.I'm no nutritionist or dermatologist so I can't confirm whether you'll see improvements to your health or skin, but I can tell you that I feel great and have no desire for junk food. I recommend the product whole heartedly. Only downside to me is that I can only ingest the stuff when I include it in my morning smoothie. The taste is just too "grassy" if you will when simply mixed in with juice or water.Again, great product and best of luck to you in your quest to get healthy.


Great Product !!!

by K. Koller from Pennsylvania on 2010-06-05
This powder truly is super !! I drink it alone with soy milk or add to a smoothie. Amazon has the best price, and if you have it delivered monthly you save even more. I will be using this from now on... With free shipping this deal can not be beat !!

Great product!

by Sarah from New York, NY United States on 2008-04-02
This is a great product - full of greens as well as probiotics which are good for digestion, skin and liver health, and detoxification. I take these every day and have noticed a difference in my energy levels and my skin's appearance. The only downside is that you have to take 5 of these a day, but totally worth it.


Excellent products!!!!

by Melissa W. Miller from VA on 2006-08-18
These are some of the highest grade products and supplements on the market today and the quality is top grade!!


By far the best "Green" supplement available

by John Grove from Malibu, CA on 2005-02-05
People who have read Jordan Rubin's struggles with Crohn's disease in "Patient Heal Thyself" have been touched by his amazing story. His health problems moved him to life long research into the area of nutrition and helped him in creating (Garden of Life) probably the best nutritional supplements on the market today.Someone has once said that plagiarism is a form of flattery. I now see company after company getting on the band wagon for probiotics. Hence they are emulating Jordan's "Primal Defense" product and now are even copying the poten-zyme process to an extent.I highly recommend "Perfect Food" as it is without a doubt probably the best Green food on the planet. I like also Kyo-Green and Wakunaga's product line. All of which can be found here at Amazon.

Easy to mix, tastes not so bad

by Allywitz from FL on 2010-06-22
I recently bought this product as I currently use the womens RAW multi. I am looking for more antioxident and veggies. This mis is easy to mix, but I add a little bit of OJ to mask the green taste. Its not bad at all to drink. Seems like it has many good things for your body. Try it.

Whole vitamins

by Cindy Rossetto from Merlin, OR, US on 2010-06-18
I love these vitamins. I can take them first thing in the morning and they don't make me sick like other vitamins do. Great value too.


Great vitamins!

by Frank Todd from Oroville, CA USA on 2010-06-01
I have taken these vitamins for years, they are the best I have ever known. I'm quite happy that Amazon finally decided to stock them, for now I no longer have to wait longer than two days or pay for shipping. They are a much better value online--at my neighborhood Raley's they charge twice as much for the same quantity.


Best vitamin that you will use

by Michelle Dear from on 2010-05-16
I am not associated with this company or anything. I found this vitamin about four years ago. I have been taking it diligently since then.I recommend this vitamin to all of my friends and family. The good thing about this vitamin is it dissolves in your stomach in 20 minutes. Most vitamins end up in your intestine, and most of the contents do not absorb. This vitamin is specifically designed to dissolve quickly into your system.There are several kinds that are available. You can get ones with and without iron. I take the ones with iron. You can also get Nature's Way Alive Effervescent 15 pkt ( Multi-Pack) if you have trouble taking the pills, because they are very large. You do have to take three a day. I take two in the morning and one at night since I have to take morning and evening pills anyway. I just throw them in my pill dispenser and take them with my meds.Additionally, I am a road warrior. I have never gotten sick while taking these vitamins. Further, I have never felt better since taking these.I do not recommend any regular-type vitamins for anyone, such as Centrum or anything. I have always taken super-vitamins, but these are the best I have ever found.


Alive! Whole Food Tablet Review

by Randle K. Dehart from on 2007-02-14
This seems to give me more energy than a standard vitamin, but I also have to take it 3 times a day.


Best Vitamin I've tried!

by Lisa from Portland, OR on 2007-02-09
These are not your ordinary vitamins. They contain ingredients from actual plants (veggies, fruits, mushrooms, etc,) and other nutrients, so you get more than just vitamins and minerals. You can chose with or without iron. One serving equals 3 tablets, but even if I take only 1 or 2, I still feel better than I would if I took a regular multivitamin. Very potent and absorbable. Worth the cost. The tablets are big, though, so if you have trouble swallowing large tablets, you may want to consider crushing them or trying their shake formula.

Product Excellent

by Bonni Gilley from California on 2010-02-21
Superfood is phenom! Unlike the directions on the jar, we mix 2 T of it with 1/2 - 1 c (sorry, I just eyeball it) raw (yes raw), organic whole milk and a bit of raw (yes raw) honey (somewhere between 1 tsp & 1 T), buzz it up w/the immersion blender, and down the hatch! Great supplement!

I know this stuff is good for me, but the taste is tough to get beyond.


Beware of buying any Dr. Schulze Products!

by E. Chirazi from Brooklyn, New York USA on 2009-04-01
Beware of buying any Dr. Schulze Products! They will spam your E-mail, I have unsubcribed from them for about 20 times now. I bought one thing 2 years ago and they ignore my requests to take me off thier list.these guys are maniacs.


There is no magic pill...

by mediahalfwaygone from on 2007-12-31
... but there are some very good health products out there. This is one of them. In fact, this is the first supplement I recommend to people who want to improve their health.We've been using SuperFood Plus for a while now and it's just as good as its predecessor (plain old SuperFood). I usually take it in fresh apple juice, though lately I've found it works great in homemade soft cider. My husband puts it on all kinds of foods, even inside tuna sandwiches (the algae really adds to the flavor)! However, we've found it works best in fresh juices.It's a great supplement, more effective and versatile than the pills I took when I was first trying to get healthy. Even the best capsules haven't had the effect SuperFood has had in improving my health.

Not what it seems

by Charles H from on 2010-04-11
I bought this product with the impression that it was a whole food supplement. The description says, "Green Source offers a vegetarian formula of multivitamins and minerals derived from whole food concentrates." Now I am not an expert but when I read the ingredients, very few foods are listed as a source which indicates to me most of the vitamins are chemical based. I would find an ingredient list and judge for yourself before ordering this product.


Great product

by C. Claycomb from Montgomery, AL USA on 2009-06-27
These vitiamins agree with my sensitive stomach. I just wish that I didn't have to take 3 of them each day


Horse-Sized Tablets

by F. Ray from Savannah, Ga United States on 2009-05-07
Definitely horse-sized tablets - guess they have to be big to hold all the stuff they contain. I believe I counted over 70 ingredients on the label. Sounds (reads) good. Effectivness remains to be seen.
