Many of the nutritional supplements available have much higher amounts of vitamins and minerals than Seagreens® seaweed natural health products - surely more is better?
Actually, No. Our bodies are very complex and unless you have a specific symptom or known deficiency it is important that you take nutritional supplements and multivitamins in a balanced format. Without sufficient balanced vitamins our bodies cannot properly utilise proteins in food, fats and carbohydrates which leads to health problems. Seagreens® seaweed natural health products are a natural multinutrient whole food, NOT an artificially formulated nutritional supplement. The amounts of each nutrient are small as Nature intends food to be absorbed little and often rather than in large amounts. Formulated nutritional supplements normally add to the amount of a particular nutrient or nutrients. They contain a relatively narrow range of nutrients, as the micronutrients in Seagreens® natural health products cannot be formulated.
