Superfoods and Supplements...why take them?

We often get asked why we need superfood supplements – surely with a good diet, they aren't necessary? With a perfectly balanced diet they may not be - but consider, the air we breathe is often polluted ...  pesticides and other synthetic chemicals have robbed the soil of its natural goodness ... and processed foods often contain harmful additives. We snatch meals on the run, and how often do we really eat five portions of fruit or vegetables a day?

The best health insurance comes in a bottle...

So we need food supplements to make up nutritional deficiencies, to fight the toxins that get into our systems and help us feel properly nourished and energised. But supplements must be genuine whole food-state products i.e. from real foods, produced under conditions that retain all the essential nutrients for maximum health.

At Xynergy, our over-riding goal has been to provide the finest quality supplements from around the world to help you put back what everyday living takes out. Select from the products listed in this section to find out more...

Choosing Supplements

Why are some supplements supposedly better than others? And how do you choose what is best for you? This brief summary explains the different types of supplement available to help you decide:

Synthetic vitamins and minerals - were originally created as drugs to eradicate diseases such as scurvy, beriberi, rickets and pellagra.  These nutrients are normally created in a lab (vitamins) or isolated from crushed rock or oyster shells (minerals) and provide basic nutritional value. But they are not food.

Food based nutrients - are delivered as a physical mix with no attachment between the nutrient and the food except they are delivered in the same tablet. Food based delivery greatly enhances the body’s ability to utilise nutrients as essential food factors are added separately to the mix. They offer up to 50% bio-availability but, food-based nutrients are not found, in this form, anywhere in nature.

Food grown nutrients - here nutrients are produced in the way nature intended with their co-factors intact i.e. the vital food factors that enable the body to recognise the nutrient as natural food. Naturally Grown Nutrients which form the basis of Vita Synergy, are real food and deliver many times the nourishment of food based or synthetic nutrients.

Xynergy’s products are well-tried and tested and as pure and close to their natural state as possible.
