Question ID: 731720
Compare and Contrast the differences of taking a vitamin/mineral pill
or a superfood/wholefood supplement for nutritional needs maintaining
and/or healing?
Is there any scientific, conclusive studies?
For example, is it more effective to take superfoods/wholefoods
(powders ie, bluegreen algae, wheat  grass, barly grass, chlorella,
etc.) for vitamins and minerals and complete nutrition compared to
taking a vitamin/mineral pill?
I have talked with many professional people/scientist/doctors who say
the superfoods
are in a more natural state (effective molecular, smaller size for
cellular assimulation)  And other health professionls say it
doesn't really matter as long as you can get it in.

Also, for example Calcium (Casinate) found in most mineral supplements
like Tums, etc. is a larger size to be absorbed in the cell making it
difficult to utilized.  Angstrom size is found in food form and is
much smaller in size enabling it to pass in and out of the cellular
walls.

Decades ago, when the natural food craze was getting its baby teeth,
there was a much-publicized landmark study which compared the nature
of the vitamin C taken from an orange to the vitamin C in a tablet
of manufactured ascorbic acid, using the graphic device of gas
chromatography. Suffice it to say the the difference was similar to
the contrast between an oil painting and a stick drawing in a cave.
