The list of nutrients the body needs to
ingest on a daily basis can at times seem unattainable. There's protein,
healthy fats, fruits and vegetables, and whole grains to think
about—and without even considering micronutrients.
You probably know micronutrients by their more common alias: vitamins and minerals. The human body desperately needs these nutrients, but can't produce them all on its own. That's where food comes in.
Of course, not all diets are created equal, and not every diet can provide a full serving of each vitamin and mineral. In fact, one study conducted by the National Institutes of Health discovered how bad four popular diets are at providing these essential nutrients.
And the numbers might be against us. To get the recommended amount of micronutrients suggested by the USDA, you'd need to eat an average of 27,575 calories a day. At 12 times the amount of calories we're supposed to consume daily, it's clear that a diet focused on obtaining micronutrients definitely isn't a sustainable one.
Wow, 27,575 calories...and, still, the quality of those micronutrients isn't even addressed. Our body requires high quality, whole food micronutrients to perform all of its vital functions, everyday. Standard Process offers whole food, organic supplements and formulations that supply all the necessary daily micronutrients without supplying all those calories!
