About Vitaminerals
Over 60 years ago when the science of nutrition was in its infancy Vitaminerals recognized that there were numerous factors in foods that had not been isilates or identified. Nor had their specific and unique benefits been tested and evaluated. Vitaminerals developed the VM 2 Food Base, comprised of fresh fruits and vegetables. These whole foods were carefully selected, dehydrated and concentrated removing all inert materials such as cellulose and pulp, leaving only a pure nutritional extract. This natural Food Base was incorporated in many Vitaminerals formulas to ensure complete and natural nutritional fortification.
Since that time science has made great progress in defining many of the individual phytochemicals and nutriceuticals that were present in the VM 2 Base: flavonoids and flavonols, polyphenols, alkaloids, carotenoids, enzymes and more. Individual items such as Quercitin, Lutein and Catechins have been identified and scientifically tested in clinical trials. Their biological activities are recognized and we now make high potency extracts for specific applications.
Yet, there is still value in this whole food base and we continue its use in many of our time proven formulas, some that have been used and valued by doctors for over seventy years.
