Should You Be Taking Food Supplements?

VITAMINS AND MINERALS Our vitamins and minerals are based on the most recent findings from science and research. SOME REASONS WHY PEOPLE SHOULD TAKE FOOD SUPPLEMENTS LACK OF TIME

THE DELETERIOUS EFFECT OF FOOD PRO-

Most people prefer to eat a good, allround diet, but there isn’t always time. Fast food, finished or semi-finished products have been a sales success story.

DUCTION METHODS

RESTAURANT FOOD Staff canteens and restaurants don’t always offer what we’re told we need in the way of fruit and vegetables. Sometimes the food has to be kept warm for longer periods thus reducing the mineral and vitamin content.

LOW ENERGY NEEDS Our lives have become more sedentary. This means we don’t need so much food. And it also means that we quite simply don’t eat enough to get into ourselves the vitamins and minerals we need.

We used to eat food straight from the farmer on the nearest farm. Now fruit and vegetables are transported all round the globe. Bread is baked in another part of the country. Frozen ready-to-eat dishes are produced on an industrial scale and sometimes in other countries. Preservatives and additives detract from the quality of the food. Often the most nutritious components of foods disappear when flour, sugar and rice are refined.

SOIL DEPLETION

The entire assortment of products is not sold in every market. For exact information on the product assortment of any given market, please refer to the price list for that country.

Allowing ground to lie fallow and alternating between different types of vegetable and grain was one way of ensuring that the soil could retain its nutrients. We lived in harmony with nature. Today, fast-growing varieties are grown in large numbers. The soil is being depleted. That naturally impacts on the food’s nutritious content.

GNLD has its own research team, SAB (Scientific Advisory Board), which is made up of distinguished scientists, doctors and technicians. They collaborate with research workers, universities and industry throughout the world. This means that GNLD products are always well documented and stand for the highest quality. The basis philosophy is to combine the best within science and nature.
