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

of any given market, please refer to the price list for that

THE DELETERIOUS EFFECT OF FOOD PRO-
DUCTION METHODS
We used to eat food straight from the far-
mer 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
Allowing ground to lie fallow and alter-
nating between different types of vegeta-
ble 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
