1) Can I give the liquid formulas to children?

A. Yes, they’re wonderful for children, and most kids love the taste. They can be given straight from the bottle, or added to their favorite juice. Many parents report amazing successes with overly energized children and childhood related diseases such as blood sugar imbalances. Many children become calm, focused, pleasant and eager to learn.

We recommend 1 teaspoon per 20 pounds of body weight; not to exceed 1 ounce per day. Statistics tell the harsh reality of the current health of our children. 31% of U.S. children today have chronic health problems, and 18% of children require special health care. 6.7% of children have a significant disability due to chronic physical or mental conditions. Sadly, disease is becoming more prevalent at younger and younger ages.

2) How soon can I expect to see results?

People usually see noticeable differences in energy, sleep, mental concentration, and general well-being in just a matter of days or weeks. More serious illness may take longer for significant results to be realized. Please remember that serious disease is usually the result of years and years of nutritional deficiency, so you must be realistic in your expectations. Correcting health problems that were 20 or 30 years in the making could take some effort. But what is the alternative? Many people find that prescriptions, with all their numerous side effects, are not the quick fix “cure” they thought they would be, and feel that synthetic treatments do nothing to correct the underlying problem. Addressing nutritional deficiency is an ongoing process of feeding your body consistently and conscientiously. We think it’s worth the small effort it takes to give your body nutrition that goes to work on a cellular level where disease starts.

3) How should I take the products to get the most benefit from them?

A. We recommend that you take all our products with food. This way you will be taking advantage of the digestive processes that are already occurring. Plus, fulvic enhances the absorption and utilization of all nutrients it comes in contact with, so you will be making better use of the nutrients in your food. We also recommend that you split your dosage up, if possible, and take 1/2 a dose in the morning and the other 1/2 in the early evening, with dinner. This is the same concept as eating 3 meals a day instead of 1 big one. Tip: for best absorption, pour your normal dose, of whichever liquid formula(s) you’re taking, into a water bottle and sip it throughout the day.

4) How do I know which products I should take?

Although each Vital Earth product serves very specific purposes, it is important to understand that any quality nutritional program will always start with a powerful baseline program that supplies multiple essential nutrients and their necessary co-factors. Once your baseline nutritional needs are being met, then you can add-on additional, specific products with confidence, knowing you are supplying all the ingredients to make that product work the most effectively. So, as a starting point for powerful baseline nutrition, we recommend Fulvic Mineral Complex and Super Multi. Together, these two liquid formulas offer therapeutic potencies of vitamins, with an essential assortment of co-factors necessary for maximum absorption and utilization, and the ever important “100% fulvic in solution”.

Then, you may decide to add Calcium/Magnesium for bone building and because it’s responsible for over 300 chemical reactions in the body. Krill Oil is important for cholesterol regulation, brain function, and skin and lung health. For additional bone building, connective tissue, and any joint issues you may have, we suggest Gluco Matrix Liquid. And Vital Greens provides an abundance of living enzymes, probiotics, and phytonutrients, in a convenient capsule form.

5) Can I take Vital-Earth supplements while I am on medications?

We hope there will come a time when everyone is so healthy that prescription drugs are no longer a part of our lives. But, if you are taking prescription drugs, we would advise you to check with your doctor to see how you can best integrate Vital Earth products into your current care. Unfortunately, we find that many doctors practicing traditional medicine are not yet familiar with the important benefits of fulvic and its natural healing capabilities.

Fulvic is a powerful detoxifier that will identify many prescriptions as a foreign or toxic substance and will try to remove it from the body. It would be counterproductive to take supplements that are designed to heal and repair the body at the same time of day you are taking prescriptions that are designed to alleviate symptoms. If you have selected to take prescriptions to alleviate the symptoms of a disease, we can provide information for your doctor’s approval. Most doctors that approve supplements recommend allowing a minimum of 2 hours in between taking the prescription and the supplement.

In the realm of alternative health, symptoms are considered a sign of some sort of larger problem. Addressing the root cause of symptoms is the basis for alternative care, whereas mainstream medicine seeks the immediate gratification of relieving the symptom, while doing little to determine what the underlying cause of the symptom is.

6) How long will I have to keep taking the products?

That all depends on how long you plan to continue eating nutrient deficient foods containing chemicals, preservatives and dyes, hydrogenated oils, refined sugar, drink chlorinated water, are exposed to pollutants and dangerous chemicals, consume caffeine, alcohol, drink carbonated beverages, or smoke. The sad reality is that additives, chemicals, preservatives, and harmful food processing techniques are a part of all our lives now, so about all you can do is try to eliminate or reduce as many of them as you can, and counteract their damaging effects by taking adequate potencies and natural forms of effective, and absorbable daily supplements.

The simplest way to do that is by adding Vital Earth products to your daily routine. Even modest dietary revisions, plus increases in vitamin and mineral intake have been shown to have significant benefits. Prevention is so much easier than trying to reverse a life changing illness once it has taken hold. Arthritis, High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Heart Disease, Osteoporosis and more all have their origins in nutritional deficiencies. If disease starts one cell at a time, then so can healing.

7) What is the shelf life of the products and do they have to be refrigerated?

As per FDA requirements, most of our products are stamped with a shelf life of 18 months. The “Shelf Life” for supplements refers to the period of time the product will retain the full potencies listed on the Supplement Facts panel. Our products will not “spoil” after the expiration date, like a food product might, but instead they will very slowly start losing potency after this date.

Regarding refrigeration: It is only necessary to refrigerate the liquids once they have been opened. Like any natural food, they will retain more of the nutrient content if they are refrigerated once they are exposed to air. After many months, if a bottle has been “forgotten” at the back of the refrigerator for example, there is no danger of the product “spoiling”, but instead some of the more delicate natural substances may start losing nutritional potency … but remember the products started out at higher potencies than most other products on the market.

8) Can’t I get all the nutrients I need if I eat healthy?

Probably not. Even people who believe they are eating a healthy diet can be surprised at the numerous detrimental manufacturing processes used on “natural” foods. For example, grated cheese requires anti-clumping additives to keep it from sticking together in the package. Many whole grain cereals are processed with high heat “extrusion”, which destroys much of the nutrients and renders the amino acids very toxic. Even old fashioned rolled oats are processed at high heat to keep them from clumping together. Many restaurant “homemade” soups start with a chemical, powdered soup base, which is likely to be high in MSG. Practically any pre-packaged food you buy, no matter how “natural” appearing, has been subjected to some sort of processing designed to improve shelf life, flavor, or general marketability of the product—all of which degrade its nutrient value.

Even our soils are in poor condition. Because of years of overuse, the soils used to grow our fruits and vegetables, and feed our livestock have been depleted of their natural resources. Plants do manufacture vitamins, but they cannot manufacture minerals; they must uptake them from the soil they’re grown in. Pesticides and harmful chemicals kill the microbes in soil that are necessary for plants to convert inorganics (metallic minerals) to organic substances. Without this conversion, plants are unable to uptake minerals into their root system and therefore they become mineral deficient...mineral deficient foods create mineral deficient people. Most farmers only replace 3 out of the 60 to 84 minerals our bodies need to maintain optimal health. And even worse, they are generally replacing these 3 minerals with unnatural man-made chemical versions...which kills off the natural fulvic in soil. According to Dr. Linus Pauling, winner of two Nobel Prizes, “You can trace every sickness, every disease, and every ailment to a mineral deficiency.” This is why it’s so important to take high quality supplements that can help offset the serious nutritional deficiencies created by over processed and nutrient deficient foods.

9) I get plenty of vitamins, why do I need minerals also?

The vitamins you get from foods can ONLY be utilized by the body if minerals are present, in the correct ratios, as nature intended. Without minerals, vitamins are useless. It’s like pouring flour into a pan and expecting it to turn into a cake...it simply will not happen unless you provide the other ingredients that cause the necessary metabolic responses. So not only are we mineral deficient, but we are vitamin deficient also because our bodies can’t utilize vitamins sufficiently without plant derived minerals. Your body has little chance of maintaining good health if it is consistently deprived of the tools it needs to function properly.

Although it seems that many diseases appear suddenly, the sad truth is that they are usually the result of years of deficiency and could have easily been prevented through proper supplementation. Disease starts on a cellular level long before any symptoms appear.

10) Why is it so important to combine nutrients together...and so ineffective to take individual supplements?

Vitamins and minerals all have a co-dependent relationship with each other, meaning, all nutrients are dependent on the presence of other nutrients to create the essential reactions within the body that make them useable. Isolated nutrients just pass right through the body unused without the presence of their required co-factors. That’s why supplying one or two specific single nutrients, such as Calcium for example, to correct a deficiency, is not enough. Each nutrient must have all the required co-factor nutrients to react off of in order to work. Plus, an excess of one nutrient can create imbalances in others, so providing the proper ratios are also important.

For an untrained lay person to figure out all the individual vitamins and minerals needed to enable proper co-factor metabolic reactions, a huge amount of in-depth scientific research would be needed. For our customers who are not scientists, Vital Earth takes the work out of your supplement program, as well as making it economical and easy. Our great tasting liquids supply all the proper synergistic components, in the best forms, and the proper ratios and potencies—all with maximum absorption because they’re in liquid form. With Vital Earth’s advanced formulation techniques, our products react differently in the body than other supplements, and get better results.

If you were to purchase all the individual components contained in our liquid formulas it would not only cost hundreds of dollars, but you would have to take handfuls of pills and capsules—all containing fillers and excipients—none of which are in any Vital Earth formulas.

11) Do pharmaceutical researchers who create new drugs know anything about nutritional deficiencies?

You can’t attempt to fix something without a thorough knowledge of how it works...so, yes, drug manufacturers know exactly what nutritional deficiencies cause various diseases. Their job is not to supply the public with this information, but to create a saleable drug that can alleviate symptoms. But alleviating a symptom doesn’t mean the “cause” has been addressed. Non-organic “drugs” can mask symptoms, but rarely repair the underlying cause of the problem. In the meantime the nutritional deficiency rages on, causing more and more damage until a whole new set of symptoms show themselves. Then another drug is prescribed...and the cycle continues.

12) Isn't it highly toxic to consume fulvic with clorinated water?

Chlorine becomes dangerous when mixed with any organic substances; this includes vegetables, fruits, etc. Yes, our product, Fulvic Mineral Complex, is an all natural organic substance which is plant derived. The good thing about our fulvic product is that it is a powerful detoxifier and has the ability to remove dangerous toxins from the body, including chlorine and more. Fulvic forms complexes with toxins, heavy metals, viruses and other immune system threats, inhibiting absorption and promoting elimination from the body. So if you are actively reducing your exposure to chlorine as much as possible, our product provides an excellent way to flush out toxins.

Eliminating chlorine totally is difficult because it's everywhere. When you eat out, vegetables have been rinsed in it, iced tea was made with it, silverware was washed in it. All you can do is try to minimize your exposure the best you can, and do your best to choose products, and cleaning supplies, etc. that don't contain it. Many people use filters on their faucets and shower heads to eliminate exposure to chlorine. Every little bit will help. Fortunately, chlorine does dissipate over time, but avoiding direct exposure as much as possible is still best.

13) Why do some supplements work and others don’t?

These are just some of the guidelines you can follow to determine whether your supplements will be effective, or whether you’re just wasting your money...or worse, compromising your health. Use the following points to compare your supplements with Vital Earth products.

Are your supplements in a “form” that the body can utilize?
Are you getting high enough potencies to be effective?
Are you combining nutrients properly to enable necessary metabolic responses?
Do you take your supplements consistently?
Do you avoid supplements that contain unhealthy fillers and binding agents?

Are you careful to buy only liquids or gel/soft caps instead of hard tablets (hard tablets are only 10% absorbable at best)

Healthy living starts one cell at a time, and that’s where Vital-Earth products go to work … on the cellular level. Our customers re-order time and again because they are getting visible and life changing results.
