About True Source™:
There are a lot of multi-vitamin/mineral supplements on the market today. Unfortunately, the majority of them don't do you all that much good; in some cases, they do more harm than good.
- Most of the "major" bands are synthetic vitamins. They're cheap to produce, but your body reacts to them like toxic waste. They simply are not processed by the body like natural supplements.
- Most of the "natural" supplements on the market today are natural only in terms of their sources. While certainly better than synthetics, they are still something like Frankenvitamins: a compilation of individual nutrients very different from what you'd find in nature.
From my experience, most multi-vitamin/mineral supplements on the market today act in the body more like drugs than foods. Instead of merely providing your body what it needs to maintain optimal health, they're formulated to "push" the body in one direction or the other (not entirely unlike the many special-interest study Bibles on the market today).
What your body really needs — what is craves — is whole food nutrition.
What you get with True Source™:
True Source™ is a new product and, as of this writing, my experience of it is somewhat limited. However, I can say this about this whole food multi-vitamin/mineral supplement: If you've been taking one of the other multi-vitamins on the market, True Source™ really will change the way you think about them.
Unlike most of the formulas on the market today, True Source™ has a "lighter" feel to it. I can feel the power of this formula; I can easily notice the increased energy when I take it. But, it also seems to be easier on my system. I don't get that heaviness I experience with most other multi-vitamins — an indication that they're putting a significant load on my liver.
The point is: True Source™ is clearly working with my body, supporting its nutritional needs in a powerful way; but, it does so with a kind of harmony that I don't feel with other multi-vitamins.
Another point to make about True Source™: You will notice from the list of nutrients below that True Source™ doesn't offer the huge quantities of nutrients found in other multi-vitamin/mineral supplements. However, that should not be taken as an indicator that True Source™ is inferior to other supplements on the market. The fact is: with most of those other supplements, the majority of the nutrients in them get flushed down your toilet. They need the really high doses to compensate for this poor absorption.
But, with True Source™, because it is made from whole food sources (the true sources for nutrition), the nutrients are absorbed at a much higher level, giving you more benefit from less substance. The nutrients work in harmony with your body, without overloading it with things it cannot process.
I realize that this isn't very scientific; but, when you've been working with this stuff as long as I have, you tend to pick up some sensitivities that you do well to pay attention to.
