Welcome to Optimal Essentials!
The human digestive system does not really like getting its essential nutrients from tablets. Unfortunately, tablets do not always digest fully in the stomach. Sometimes they onlydigest partially as they pass through the digestive system.
The Physician's Desk Reference, a highly respected reference book, once reported that the absorbency of vitamin tablets can be as low as 10%. What that means to us is that very little of the available nutrients are actually utilised by the body and its cells. By contrast, the body's cells can absorb vitamins and minerals in a liquid form at a much higher rate, as high as 95%. And better still in their natural form (its called food) up to 100% liquid is more easily digested and absorbed by the digestive system than tablets. Furthermore, theabsorbency of the liquid vitamins starts at the tongue and beneath the tongue. This sublingual delivery helps to get the nutritional benefit to the cells much faster.
Optimal Essentials products are a food easily recognised by our digestive system and within this food are the true gems of nature; antioxidants,vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes all in their natural form. Nutrients in food allow your body to break down the food you eat into energy so you can function at your very best. If your body gets the right fuel, just like a car, it will run smoother.
Optimal Essentials products contain NO nasties – only good stuff. NO gluten, artificial flavours, colours, preservatives, fillers, MSG, synthetic chemicals, sucrose, fructose, dextrose, cholesterol, yeast, peanuts or added salt. We never test on animals, only relatives! Certified organic ingredients are used where possible and there are no genetically modified ingredients.
After many years in clinical practice we decided to formulate our own nutritional powders, quite simply because we just could not find one that we really felt was good enough. After evolving these formulas from the feedback of our patients and literally prescribing our products to thousands of people, we were inundated with constant requests from the general public and more often family and friends of our patients: could they too buy our powders? So it is with this demand in mind we decided to commercially market our own range of nutritional phyto-food combinations for general use. That's why we believe you will not find a better product anywhere; we made it to be the best.
