There are many socioeconomic and ecological reasons that are contributing to this state of affairs but there is one factor we as individuals can address: Our digestive health. This is a bodily function that has a direct bearing on everyone’s health status. Digestion has got to be one of the most overlooked yet highly taxed functions of the body, demanding an incredible collaboration between organs of all shapes and sizes.

One of the key elements of healthy digestion and in turn a healthy body is how well one is able absorb the nutrients taken in. Without good absorption not only does the ability to efficiently digest food break down but all other areas of the body suffer as well. Our bodies need to maintain a delicate nutritional balance to keep our bodies healthy. It will rob nutrients from less essential areas of the body like the bones if a more important area like the heart requires it.

To be more accurate, the old saying ” You are what you eat” should really be “You are what you absorb.” As a result of the large amounts of processed foods that permeate our daily diets, the body is not getting the basic nutrition it needs to maintain good digestion. This is compounded by the regular stressful lifestyles. This gives rise to a negative feedback loop that sticks us in a rut of poor (eventually declining) health. One of the key ways to break this cycle is with pure, high potency nutrition that your body is able to effortlessly absorb. Many of us immediately turn to a vitamin pill hoping for relief.

Unfortunately, if digestive inefficiency is present, the body will have to work pretty hard to get the nutrition from a hard pellet, if at all. This is where powdered vitamin/mineral supplements shine. The ALL ONE multiple vitamin and mineral powders deliver a high potency easy to absorb solution for the poor digestion. Nutritional powders can help stop the poor digestion cycle in its tracks as the body starts to receive the nutrients it requires to produce stomach acids, create energy from food and keep things moving.

Superior Vitamin Absorption with Powdered Supplements

Why a powder? With no regard to age, sex or gender, compromised digestion and poor nutrition are common factors in most people’s lives. For these individuals nutrient supplementation is often an unfulfilling endeavor. They complain of nausea or maybe they just never feel any different. ALL ONE Supplement powders change all that.
Benefits include:

• Easy to digest.
• Replaces 15-20 pills.
• It is easily mixed with any juice.
• It is free of sweeteners, flavors, yeast, gluten or colors.

With the addition of a protein food base and digestive enzymes ALL ONE is formulated for effortless, optimum absorption and effectiveness.

Economics also make ALL ONE powdered supplements more appealing than their tablet and capsule rivals. Encapsulating or forming tablets can increase the cost of most supplements by as much as 70%.

Who can benefit from a powder?
The elderly, kids, teenagers, athletes, Boomers and all of us somewhere in between not to mention 20% of the population that cannot swallow pills. For the nutritionally reluctant, ALL ONE powders can easily be disguised in a great tasting smoothie or protein shake.

Don’t compromise.
The food we eat is more processed then ever before and even the fresh fruits and vegetables are coming up with diminished nutrient content as a result of poor soil management. Chronic health conditions are now acceptable nuisances. This is not a situation we must just accept. Our bodies are amazing machines and will respond and adapt to the nourishment or lack of nourishment we present it. Taking a multivitamin and mineral supplement in powder form is the logical progression from food to pure nutritionals. By nature a tablet is not pure and certainly not natural.

So why compromise and take pills when it is possible to get a high potency multivitamin and mineral in powder form that tastes great, delivering you the nutrition your body needs all day, every day. Whether you are an athlete, a 5-year old child or a 90-year old grandmother, ALL ONE vitamin and mineral powders are the nutritional solution that will help your body achieve and maintain optimum health. Because good health shouldn’t be hard to swallow. If you are what you absorb, not just what you eat, then optimal vitamin absorption is key to your optimal health.

Another challenge we are facing in optimizing our family’s daily diet is that our store-bought fruits and vegetables are often picked early, transported long distances and grown in mineral depleted soils. This is compounded by excessive processing, canning and even home cooking which can sap normally nutritious foods of their nutritional quality.  White sugar and white bread are both examples of foods that are high in calories and low in vitamins and minerals. Many of the foods available at schools-whether through the lunch line or a vending machine-are far from nutritious. Unfortunately, our children are paying the price. This is why a high potency multiple vitamin and mineral supplement for kids especially is needed these days more than ever.

The Best Kids Vitamins

But how do you get a fussy eater to take a vitamin supplement?  Many times it is difficult or impossible to get a child to swallow a pill, much less a handful of them that would be required to achieve the needed full range of vitamins and minerals.  A high quality, easy to swallow multi vitamin and mineral powder such as  ALL ONE Kids is the answer. You can mix ALL ONE in a smoothie or milkshake or even mask the flavor in their favorite drink (such as chocolate milk/almond/rice/soy). Also, if you are worried about allergies, ALL ONE is hypo-allergenic: it has no extra additives, flavorings or binders and is guaranteed free of yeast and gluten. ALL ONE is pure nutrition with no added sugar or sweeteners.

By starting your children on a nutrition regime while they are young you are helping them to acquire healthy eating habits. With proper nutrition you are bound to notice a positive difference in the way you and your family feels.   ALL ONE – Great for the Whole Family, and the best kids vitamins available.

Testimonial

“My brother was first diagnosed with ADHD last year. He is 7 years old and already spending more time outside of the classroom in trouble than in the classroom learning. My mom is always one to go the “natural” way whenever possible. So the family made some big dietary changes, which was a little helpful, but the one most impressive thing she did was feeding my brother a big smoothie every morning that contained ALL ONE Rice Formula and Flaxseed oil. Within a week of adding this to my brother’s regular, yet limited, diet we saw a drastic change in his ability to concentrate, settle down with others and just overall be a much more enjoyable person to be around. Since then the rest of the family have joined him with morning smoothies and we are all feeling great. Thank you. I feel that your great nutritional supplement has given my brother a chance at a normal and productive childhood and future.”

Can’t I get all my vitamins from the foods I eat?

Answer: NO, you’re not even eating food! Doug reveals in this short interview why many modern foods are not really “food” at all and have very little nutritional value. He explains why eating well and smart is becoming more important as well as using a good supplement such as ALL ONE. Both vitamins and minerals are in short supply in the foods we eat and this leads to various health and energy issues affecting millions daily. This short video was just released on YouTube:

The nutritional supplement market is now a multi-Billion dollar enterprise. In an industry this large, many of the key ingredients are produced by a limited number of raw material manufacturers. There is a very good chance that the Thiamine (Vitamin B-1) or Riboflavin (B-2) found in the cute, colored Centrum tablet come from the same supplier that we use here at ALL ONE. And most likely the same B-1 and B-2 used by the company claiming they are the best because they “grow” their vitamins. So, what makes one product “better” than the others?

3 Simple Things Make ALL ONE the Best Multi Vitamin

1) Easy Nutrient Absorption. The common vitamin pill is the least efficient “mode of administration” when it comes to proper nutrient absorption. Do this simple test: drop a vitamin pill into a glass of water and come back an hour later or so. Chances are, it will be as solid as ever and in some cases, can pass entirely through the digestive system intact. Watch the AM Arizona show where ALL ONE founder Doug Ingoldsby demonstrates the drawbacks of a solid pill in a glass of water. See also Nutrient Absorption

2) Purity of ingredients. Compressed tablets contain binders, fillers, disintegrating agents, coatings and other non nutritive additives. Liquids are better as far as absorption, but pre made liquids typically contain flavorings, sweeteners, suspending agents and artificial preservatives, including sodium benzoate or potassium benzoate. In a billion dollar supplement market, ALL ONE is unique in that it is the only complete pure nutrient multiple powder free of any sweeteners and flavorings – ALL ONE is pure nutrition and nothing else. For the most pure liquid multi vitamin, mix our powder with your favorite juice and enjoy! See Liquid Vitamins for more bad news about liquid vitamins.

3) Combination of ingredients. ALL ONE  contains high quality New Zealand milk proteins in our vegetarian formulas (or rice protein in the popular Vegan formulas). These whole proteins provide generous portions of naturally occurring amino acids important in the assimilation of Calcium and other minerals as well as well as providing a healthy and natural “food base” for ALL ONE’s complete multi vitamin profile.

In a highly competitive supplement marketplace, we believe these three simple things make ALL ONE the absolute best multi vitamin. We are clearly biased and “best” is perhaps a matter of opinion. But don’t take our word for it, read what our happy customers say about ALL ONE:

“I have been looking for this for years. I hate taking pills and so I would not take my supplements regularly. Thank you so much for making a tasting-good supplement with B vitamins. I have so much energy now! You can quote me!” – Boulder, CO

“I find that 99% of my friends who try ALL ONE are crazy about it. There are no pills to swallow, which makes it easy for women to slip into their husband’s juice in the morning. It tastes great. I do believe in it very strongly.” -Tualatin, Oregon

“I absolutely love your product! I cannot take regular pill form vitamins as they make me kind of nauseous, but I know that I need to be taking them. I am a vegetarian so it is so important for me to find something that is vegetarian, easy for me to take, and gives me energy. I can last at work all day when I take it in the morning what a difference. I have also turned on several of my vegetarian friends to your product…” – JT, Sherman Oaks, CA

“This stuff is THE BEST multi vitamin ever! I’ll never go back to using tablets again. I’m hooked! I’m glad to have found your web site so I can order directly and not have to ever worry about running out! Your product helped me train for and complete my first marathon (March 2001) and my first triathlon (June 2001). Thank you, thank you, thank you for such a fantastic product!” – Winchester, VA

By Rebecca Johnson “SeasonedwithLove.com” (Washington State)

“A single scoop of All One 100% pure nutrient powder turns a simple fruit smoothie (or even a glass of juice) into a powerful, one step, all day super charged nutrition program. It’s the food supplement everyone has been wishing someone, somewhere would produce.”

This is a slightly lemony tasting powder that can be mixed into juice. I’ve mixed this into soy milk or milk. This is the fruit formula powder filled with potent phytochemicals and does actually have 1 gram of protein from rice.

To mix this powder fully, use a blender like the Braun immersion blender: Braun MR5550CA Multiquick Professional Hand Blender, White, you can find this here at Amazon. If you are adding fruit to make a smoothie, just toss a scoop of this powder into your regular blender. You can also use a Tupperware shaker or GNC has shakers that work very well to blend this powder into juice. I like blending a level tablespoon of this powder with one scoop of protein powder.

After just a week of using this product you may find that your skin is just glowing. Eating lots of vegetables and fruit also help. Not to mention exercise like yoga. This product contains a blend of tart cherries, wild blueberries, cranberries and apples.

I recommend this formula to anyone who is noticing their skin texture and vibrancy is just not what it could be.

Added Bonus: This company offers a free “scoop and shaker cup” when you provide a proof of purchase. When you write them, ask for a Ingredient Information pamphlet and information booklets about their products. They have some amazing products for all age groups and needs.

There is a purity in their products that makes me feel good about taking the ALL ONE supplements.

REAL SIMPLE, a magazine known for recommending simple solutions to real problems likes the powder approach to multiple vitamins and supplements: “A heaping tablespoon contains the vitamins and minerals that you would get from several pills.” They continue their review by emphasizing the purity, and bio availability, of a multiple powder supplement: “Tablets contain fillers and binding agents that the body has to break down before the nutrients can be absorbed … powders don’t require these.”

Liquid Vitamin Supplements Lack the Power of Powders

In recent years there has been an increased interest in finding the best way to take nutritional supplements, as a result the popularity of liquid vitamins and minerals has grown. The benefits of not having to swallow pills and evidence of increased absorption possible from a liquid supplement certainly makes sense. We have had many of our stores and regular customers ask us why doesn’t ALL ONE make a liquid supplement?

WE DO!

Once you mix ALL ONE with the beverage of your choice it is a liquid vitamin. All the absorption benefits of a liquid and so much more.

Ready-to-drink liquids just don’t have the potency, purity and variety of ALL ONE Powders.

See also: Choosing the Best Multi Vitamin

The reasoning behind liquid supplements is valid.?  We knew that taking your vitamins and minerals in a liquid form was beneficial 35 years ago when we developed the original ALL ONE Powder.?  However, we discovered way back then that a pre-mixed liquid vitamin and mineral supplement fall short for the following reasons: Due to taste and stability factors, premixed liquid multiples are low in potency and necessitate the need for preservatives to keep the nutrients from breaking down.  Also, premixed liquid supplements add flavorings to mask the taste and suspending agents to keep the nutrients in the fluid.

The Bad News About Liquid Vitamins

People buy liquid supplements to improve their health and because they absorb better than vitamin pills. But ironically, they could unwittingly be doing irreversible damage to their bodies. Studies show that the chemical makeup of any liquid vitamin supplement containing sodium benzoate or potassium benzoate is the perfect environment for the formation of benzene when combined with ascorbic acid, or vitamin C. Benzene has been linked to leukemia and other cancers of the blood and can cross the placenta, affecting the fetus. It has also been linked to hyperactivity in children.

These qualities set ALL ONE powders apart from liquid vitamins:

Potency - ALL ONE powders are some of the highest potency products available. Read and compare the labels; 1000mg of Vitamin C, up to 1125mg of Calcium, a complete B complex, 400IU of Vitamin E, and up to 15,000IU of Vitamin A with beta carotene.  You get all that along with a complete accompaniment of micronutrients, important amino acids, digestive enzymes and other beneficial whole food factors for a complete body balance. No premixed liquid can physically hold that many nutrients.

Purity - ALL ONE powders contain no yeast, gluten, sweeteners, flavorings, binders, fillers or preservatives. Again read the label.  All liquids include some kind of preservative to keep the water soluble vitamins from breaking down as well as additional non-nutritive ingredients to keep the vitamins suspended in solution. Liquids are also often loaded with flavorings and sweeteners.

Taste - Most all liquids are flavored and sweetened. Even if this is done with “natural” flavors you are still stuck with the exact same flavor day after day, and who needs to regularly supplement their diet with flavorings and sweeteners anyway??  With ALL ONE powders you have limitless options.?  You can mix it in a variety of juices, rice and soy drinks – heck even chocolate milk. Many pre-made smoothies and protein drinks available now are also great options.

Check out this chart for a quick comparison of ALL ONE with some of the popular liquid vitamins available.

The difference is clear, premixed liquids are lacking. When mixed with water or juice, ALL ONE powder makes the best liquid vitamins and minerals!

The interesting thing is that if during that, what I refer to as the indestructible period is exactly the time to be preparing your body to fight the ravages of aging. Be sure your body is receiving generous portions of amino acids (which make up protein), powerful antioxidants which fight free radicals. Studies have shown that complete multiple supplements that contain vitamins and minerals as well as amino acids fight the production of free radicals. Free radicals are what accelerate the aging process.

Is there one anti aging vitamin?

There are many.?  There are the well known antioxidants Vitamins A, C, E and beta carotene.?  There are also powerful antioxidants found in the coloring pigments in natural fruits and vegetables?  like Lutein and Lycopene.?  Even the B complex vitamins, known for years to fight stress, can be considered anti aging vitamins along with folic acid.?  Organic green foods which are rich in?  chlorophyl (light weight protein) also play an important roles in anti aging supplements for both men and women.?  So when choosing, rather than looking for a single magic bullet, look for the the most comprehensive (complete) formula possible.

And certainly before you listen to the longevity proponents and try untested measures such as DHEA or Testosterone Hormone replacement or Resveratrol, consider first the powerful anti aging effects of good diet, general wellness as well as a comprehensive vitamin supplement.

ALL ONE Multiple formulas contain not only high doses of the antioxidants mentioned above, but also the widest range other vitamins, minerals, amino acids and important natural food factors.?  All of these additional nutrients and co-factors are so necessary in provide the proper balance of nutrition needed for an effective anti aging supplement.

Nutrient Absorption – Pills vs Liquids

O.K. that’s big news. The most common form for ingesting vitamins it the least effective when it comes to nutrient absorption. Our friends over at vitaminmaniac.com performed a simple experiment to compare the difference between liquids and tablets when it came to nutrient digestion and absorption. Quite interesting …?  yet with predictable results. So what are the alternatives? Capsules dissolve a bit easier but vegetarians object to the gelatin. Liquids are all the rage right not but liquids come with their own set of problems. Liquids tend to be incomplete.?  Minerals settle very quickly do to their molecular weight, therefore, important minerals are often eliminated or reduced to insignificant levels.?  If the liquid supplement does contain significant levels of minerals you will find non nutritive suspending agents like glycerin are added to the formulation. But the biggest and most dangerous drawback associated with liquid supplements is the presence of sodium benzoate or potassium benzoate. These preservatives considered essential to the shelf life of a pre-made liquid and are found in almost everyone out there. The problem here is that sodium benzoate or potassium benzoate when mixed with ascorbic acid (vitamin C), which is found in all liquids creates benzene a known carcinogenic substance with no known safe levels. Don’t know about you but that fact alone took liquids off my list. You can read more about that here.

So the quest for the best ‘mode of administration’ for nutrient absorption continues. Which brings us to ALL ONE?®.
