Liquid Nutritional Supplement

Liquid nutritional supplement is a term that has been coined for products used by hospital patients and the elderly who do not consume enough food to replenish the nutrients they need to sustain life. Today many companies market these products for people of all ages and all levels of health. They are specially formulated according to the situation of need. Some versions are for poor appetite, difficulty chewing or swallowing, Weight Loss, lactose free, high caloric, added fiber, glycemic control and other health conditions.

In general, a typical liquid nutritional supplement product is composed of water, sugar, corn syrup, milk protein, and oils with added vitamins and minerals. The supposed nutrition in these products come from man made vitamins and minerals.

There is also another class that is increasingly coming to the forefront and these are quite different then the typical ones that people normally think of. They are made from whole food sources and are specifically designed to provide you with healthy nutrients in a usable form that your body will benefit from. Whole food sources are derived from natural plant sources that have not been altered. They are not processed or have any synthetic or artificial ingredients. The integrity of the plant has been retained providing nutrients in a concentrated form the body can use properly. Since they are created in nature and are not man made, they contain all the vital nutrients that nature intended for us to sustain life. They contain natural vitamins, minerals, fats, proteins and other cofactors. They are beneficial to every one of every age and every lifestyle.

It is recommended by doctors, nutritionists, and health advocates that we eat at least five to seven servings of fruits and vegetables every day since they contain many nutrients that our cells need to rebuild and function properly. This is why the key to taking a supplement is in the ingredients. Ingredients that come from whole food sources contain many elements that naturally work together, unlike ones coming from artificial sources which are only isolated portions and are missing important elements to complete their function properly.

One way to think about the difference between a whole food and a processed food is to compare fresh squeezed orange juice to any other kind. If you have ever had fresh squeezed orange juice you know there is nothing else like that refreshing, wonderful taste. That's because it has not been heated by pasteurization or does not have any added sugar or preservatives that destroy the nutrients or change the taste. Also, your body is able to convert these natural nutrients into a usable form that feeds the body and enables it to create healthy cells.

Due to its liquid nature a liquid nutritional supplement made from whole foods has a broader spectrum of nutrients because a larger amount of diverse plant sources can be combined. Your body absorbs up to 98% of the nutrients from a liquid form compared to any other form thus providing the body with a very high assimilation rate of the nutrients and making them more accessible to the body. Also, because of this absorption rate and its concentrated form you do not have to take as much, therefore it is more economical in the long run.

If you are looking to provide additional healthy nutrients to build your health and extend your life look to a whole food liquid nutritional supplement.
