Well, what does this mean exactly? Why is "natural" nano encapsulation a better alternative?

The answer is quite simple. Our All Natural Patented Nanotechnology™ process uses only natural plant lipids as the basis for its nano-encapsulation. This ensures the compounds dissolve gradually, providing a sustained release of the vitamins, minerals and herbal compounds. By the time the body has absorbed the nutrients in this safe and efficient manner, the nano particle has completely dissolved. In other words, the plant lipids are metabolized just as any other food stuff would be.

For those unfortunate souls whose daily menus are limited by food allergies, look no further. Our liquid multivitamin is allergen free of yeast, corn, wheat, lactose, dairy, citrus, egg, fish and nut products. It contains no sugar, artificial flavors, colors or sweeteners.

What exactly does it contain, you may ask?

Our liquid, nano encapsulated multivitamin has phyto-nutrients contained within the herbal tonics including anti-oxidants, flavonoids, enzymes, saponins, trace minerals and more, which all help to maximize the health-boosting functions of the vitamins and minerals. Like any other meal accompaniment designed in the name of taste or gastronomy, it is a complete cocktail of health and well being, because all of the aforementioned ingredients are synergistic.

Our multivitamin is packed with essential vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, zinc, calcium and magnesium, which are increasingly absent from typical diets of processed snacks and empty calorie foods. Scientific research has shown that these nutrients actually assist the body in transforming food into energy for physical growth and mental activity. The presence of five B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12) can increase metabolism and, according to further scientific research, reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer. Vitamin A is, of course, great for vision. Vitamin D is important for the maintenance of organ systems. Minerals such as magnesium, zinc, copper and manganese are all essential to a healthy human diets and have a myriad of preventative benefits.

And if that were not enough, daily multivitamin also contains nine specially selected herbal food concentrates with limitless benefits. For instance, oat seed, eleuthero root and skullcap work together to combat stress. Astragalus, elderberry and rose hips provide unique immune enhancement and improve digestion. Plus, the presence of ginger, green tea and hawthorne berry help maintain the circulatory system and heart health. These benefits are especially important in today's fast-paced world where heart disease is still a leading cause of death, and stress and immune deficiency continue to ravage most people.

Of course, it's always better to ingest these vitamins, minerals and herbal compounds with a snack or a meal. Contrary to the popular myth that this prevents an upset stomach, many of these nutrients must be present for the food to be properly metabolized.

Another wonderful fact is that the daily use of these nutrients can have a cumulative effect. Instead of just maintaining the status quo or preventing a myriad of health problems, consistent use of daily multivitamin can actually allow for incremental improvement in overall health and well being.

Turning nutritional or natural medicine components into nano gram size increases the payload of the expected benefit. One of the best ways to create nano size particles is through encapsulation. The technology literally separates and envelopes molecules of the active compound maintaining their nano size for enhanced benefits.

Natural vs. Synthetic Encapsulation

There are a number of different encapsulation materials or technologies, however very few of them have been thoroughly tested or approved of from a safety standpoint. Some of the materials traditionally used for coating particles that may not be considered natural include hydroxypropyl methycellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidine, and methacrylates. These encapsulation materials may or may not completely dissolve within the body once they deliver their payload. They also may not even completely dissolve, which affects the ability of the active compound to be released at the appropriate time. The unknown with these types of materials is if they may build up and cause toxicity in the body or simply not dissolve fully and possibly create an allergic or immune response.

The best type of nano encapsulation is natural. livethesource nutritional products utilize a proprietary and patented all natural nano encapsulation material. livethesource nanotechnology creates a particle size small enough to be efficiently absorbed, yet not so small as to be counterproductively absorbed by the body. We use all natural plant lipids as the basis of our nano encapsulation material. The importance of this cannot be overstated. The food grade material not only is absorbed and recognized as a safe substance, but also delivers its payload in a quick, safe and efficient manner. There is no buildup of the encapsulation material with our technology; so consequently, there is no danger of any adverse response from the body. In essence, while the active compounds have been absorbed and utilized, the encapsulation material is completely metabolized just as any other food stuff would be.

Most Efficient Absorption

The materials in our encapsulation technology are GRAS listed (generally recognized as safe, by the FDA), and are patented. This super-technology is the result of 15 years of research into liposomal technology, which is a process the body actually does itself for the proper absorption of many nutrients. So we are literally mimicking nature. Utilizing natural nano encapsulation offers other advantages, especially over technologies that simply reduce particle size through mechanical processes. Our nano encapsulation helps to ensure consistency of particle size throughout the solution. In addition, a completely unique aspect of this technology is the benefit of a sustained release of active compounds. This helps to ensure a steady use and benefit to the body of whatever nutrient that is being delivered. It is also worth noting that many substances in food as well as in the body exist at a nano particle scale. The body recognizes this and is well equipped to utilize these substances and in fact, relies on the fact that they can be absorbed or utilized at this scale.
