Does your Vitamin contain these superheads?

What do you find when you look at your multivitamin’s label? Do you see things like guava,
turmeric, holy basil, barley grass, and maca? Or do you come across things like folic acid,
ascorbic acid, thiamine mononitrate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, and cyanocobalamin? If you
aren’t seeing the first list of ingredients or something like them, then your vitamins probably
aren’t doing you much good and may actually be causing you more problems than you realize.
The majority of vitamins and multivitamins being sold today are full of
synthetic versions of the nutrients found naturally in food. These
synthetics are not the same as the natural versions, despite what the
scientists who create them and the companies who peddle them would
have you believe. How could they be the same thing when they come
together in completely different processes, using different ingredients, and
wind up as different molecules than anything we find in nature?
Synthetic vitamins come from coal tar, petroleum byproducts, hazardous
chemicals, industrial waste, and corrosive acids. This is not the way
nature makes our vitamins, and the results don’t work as well either.
Synthetic vitamins are not as easily absorbed or put to use as the natural
ones our bodies recognize. The rigid, isolated, and often crystalline
synthetics are harder on the kidneys and liver, collect in tissues, and many
are even treated completely as toxins. This means they slowly do damage
to your nervous system, muscles, cardiovascular system, organs, and your
immune system too. As toxins, they also contribute to obesity and make it
hard to lose weight as the body likes to stuff toxins in fat cells where they
do less damage than roaming free.
These vitamins are just wasteful, wasting both our cash and our health. It doesn’t have to be this way any longer.
Nature has the vitamins and minerals we need if you know where to look. Sunwarrior just released three new vitamins
that are completely unlike the unhealthy offerings of other vitamins. Sunwarrior’s vitamins don’t contain any
synthetics, chemicals, binders, coal tar derivatives, or fillers. The vitamins and minerals in each capsule come straight
from real food. Better yet, they come from whole-food superfoods like those we mentioned in our list earlier. Let’s look
at a few of the superfoods Sunwarrior has packed into their new line of vitamins.
Grape Seed – Grape seeds are rich in antioxidants, flavonoids, vitamin E, and linoleic acid. These all protect the body
from cellular damage and inflammation. Grape seed strengthens blood vessels, improves circulation, and speeds
healing.
Rhodiola Rosea – This flowering herb is another adaptogen that combats stress and fatigue. Rhodiola also shows
promise against depression, anxiety, sleeplessness, decreased memory, and elevated blood sugar levels while acting
as an antioxidant too.
Holy Basil – Holy basil, also known as Tulsi, is a member of the mint
family and is a sacred herb in India. It has been used as medicine for
thousands of years in India, Rome, and Greece. Holy basil has
antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties
that make it an excellent addition to the vitamins. It detoxifies the body,
including the pineal gland, and is capable of removing fluoride from
water and the body. Holy basil also slows many of the symptoms of
aging. This herb is rich in carotenoids, B vitamins, vitamin K, calcium,
iron, magnesium, manganese, and copper. It is also full of beneficial
flavonoids and antioxidant compounds like cryptoxanthin, lutein, and
zeaxanthin that protect cells from free radical damage, especially when
complexed with so many other antioxidants instead of isolated.
Sesbania – This Malaysian tree is used as food and for medicinal
purposes. It aids digestion, detoxifies, and has antibiotic properties.
Sesbania is being studied for its promising anti-aging abilities as well.
Annatto – Annatto refers to the seeds of the achiote tree. These seeds are
often used as a natural coloring and dye, but are also exceptionally rich
in tocotrienols. These antioxidants work very similarly to and in
conjunction with vitamin E. Annatto doesn’t stop there. It supplies a
plethora of other antioxidants in the form of carotenoids. Annatto also
helps reduce inflammation, blood pressure, and cholesterol for an all-
around healthy heart.
Barley Grass – Barley grass is one of the most concentrated superfoods you can find, very similar to wheat grass in
nutrients. The young, tender leaves of barley grass are loaded with chlorophyll, B vitamins, carotenoids, iron, and
vitamin C. It soothes digestion, freshens breath, reduces body odor, improves hydration, lowers cholesterol, stabilizes
blood pressure, and improves the immune system.
Turmeric – This orangish root is often used to season curry, but is being studied right and left for all the exciting
benefits it has to offer. Turmeric is related to ginger and contains a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant,
curcumin. This little compound that gives curry its color and pungent flavor is showing promise against arthritis,
diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and even cancer. Turmeric also helps detox the liver, improve digestion, reduce
pain, and even control weight.
Eleuthero – Formerly known as Siberian Ginseng, this root is an adaptogenic herb that helps the body deal with stress
more effectively. Eleuthero acts as an antioxidant, controls blood sugar, reduces the duration of colds, lowers
cholesterol, stimulates the immune system, improves memory, fights pain, and raises energy levels. You will find it in
the Raw Vitamins for Him.
Lemon – Lemons have some powerful antiviral,
antibacterial, and immune-boosting abilities. Lemon
also aids digestion and helps detoxify the liver. These
citrus fruits balance the body’s pH, supply plenty of
vitamin C, lower blood pressure, and strengthen blood
vessels. Lemons are a good source of flavonoids, B
vitamins, calcium, iron, copper, magnesium,
phosphorus, and potassium while battling fatigue and
thirst too.
Muira Puama – Muira puama is an adaptogenic herb
that improves sexual function in both men and
women. It takes the place of eleuthero root in the Raw
Vitamins for Her for good reason. This herb calms cramps and PMS symptoms and can ease the symptoms of
menopause too. Apart from this, muira puama stimulates the reproductive, nervous, and gastrointestinal systems to
improve circulation, boost energy levels, increases sexual desire and satisfaction, and even combat erectile
dysfunction.
Fo-Ti – Fo-Ti has an ancient reputation as a rejuvenating herb with longevity and energizing properties. It is a part of
many legends in Chinese history that revolve around people defying aging, including an herbalist who reportedly lived
to a ripe 256 years old thanks to the herb and meditation. Fo-Ti balances hormones, reduces stress, boosts energy,
lowers blood pressure, lowers cholesterol, and may even prevent premature greying of hair.
Bilberry – Bilberry is related to the American blueberry, but these berries are darker in color, tarter, and somewhat
smaller. They pack a lot of nutrition in each little package though. Bilberries are rich in antioxidants, antimicrobials,
and anti-inflammatories. They are traditionally used to improve night vision and general eyesight, but they are also
beneficial in protecting the heart, blood vessels, and kidneys while fighting diabetes and chronic fatigue.
Maca – This Peruvian herb is related to the radish, but unlike its relative it has been linked to libido and hormonal
balance for over 2,000 years. It improves the symptoms of menopause, reduces enlarged prostates, and combats
infertility. Maca is also rich in B vitamins, calcium, and magnesium for strong bones, muscles, and raised energy
levels.
Guava – This tropical fruit is extremely rich in vitamin
C, carotenoids (natural vitamin A), manganese,
magnesium, vitamin E, copper, and plenty of B
vitamins like folate. Guava’s abundant nutrients help
the body with thousands of functions, protect against
cellular aging, lower blood pressure, aid in weight
management, and contribute toward a sense of well-
being and overall health.
Cordyceps – These mushrooms are best known for
attacking and zombifying insects, but they also grow
under more normal fungi conditions. Cordyceps have
been a part of Chinese medicine for thousands of
years. These little mushrooms are powerful
antibacterial and antiviral food. They increase circulation, boost the immune system, strengthen muscles, detox the
kidneys and liver, lower cholesterol, improve oxygen use, reduce fatigue, improve sexual function, and may even kill
cancer cells.
If your vitamins are just a list of isolated compounds and synthetic chemicals, then you aren’t doing your body justice.
Give it the nutrients it will recognize , and your body will love you for it.
