What is Realfood

Introduction

Realfood Organics™ is a line of supplements almost entirely derived from organic fruits, vegetables, seeds, sprouts, legumes, and much more. Country Life developed this line of supplements to offer nutritional support to diets that may be falling short of the necessary requirements. It is important to consume a wide variety of foods, including fruits and vegetables. It is also important to have these foods in proper balance. According to the CDC (Center for Disease Control), the average person consumes less than four servings of fruits and vegetables a day. We should consume between six to 10 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables daily to maintain optimal health. It has been shown that disease may in large part be related to the deficiency of many essential vitamins, minerals, and other phytonutrients.

In the last 50 years, researchers have identified many essential elements, such as B-Vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, B15, Folic Acid, Biotin); Vitamins A, C, D, and E; Minerals (Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Manganese, Selenium, Chromium, Potassium); Amino Acids (both essential and non-essential); and many more. These elements are found in foods that we should be consuming daily. Research has shown that individuals who consume an inadequate supply of fruits and vegetables are more likely to face disease. Many diseases can be avoided through diet and proper supplementation. Beyond the vitamins and minerals contained in fruits and vegetables, there are many unidentified nutrients that we know support health and well-being.

The consumption of whole fruits and vegetables is key to properly maintaining our health. While it is important to know that fruits and vegetables are essential, it's also important to acknowledge that there are many other valuable, life-giving forces that keep us well. Country Life's Realfood Organics™ all supply the equivalent of at least one serving of fruits and vegetables in every dose, leading you closer to optimal health.
