Frank Davis is proud that his company's whole food products, made with organically grown U.S. ingredients, are not only safe, but does a body good.

You may be surprised to know that China is actually one of the largest exporters of many drugs and vitamins. About 90 percent of all Vitamin C sold in the United States is from China, for example. They also produce 50 percent of the world's aspirin and 35 percent of all Tylenol. Ditto for the majority of Vitamins A, B12 and E.
Hot on the heels of the poisoned pet food scandal, and reported instances of toxic food and toothpaste, all eyes are now turning toward the Chinese vitamin market. How safe are they?

Web Note: OCA agrees with Dr. Mercola that the real, naturally occurring vitamin C, as found in organic whole foods such as citrus, is better than the synthetic chemical version of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) sold in grocery stores, drug stores, and health food stores; but for those wishing to supplement their organic whole food intake of Vitamin C, there are now several naturally occurring, organic supplements that are 100% derived from foods (Vitamin C from organic Amla berries--sold by Botani Organics--and Vitamin C from organic acerola cherries as sold by Read more

Ever take a vitamin and actually feel your energy drop? There could be a reason for that: Some vitamins literally steal energy from your body's cells, while other vitamins delivered in a more natural chemical configuration actually donate energy to your cells!
In terms of nutrition, there's a huge difference between "junk" vitamins and higher end vitamins -- called "premethylated" vitamins. And while most low-end cosumer vitamin companies rely on the junk, energy-stealing forms of these vitamins, quality vitamin companies use the higher-end (and more expensive) premethylated forms Read more

Calcium is responsible for construction, formation and maintenance of bone and teeth.
This function helps reduce the occurrence of osteoporosis. It is also a vital component in
blood clotting systems and wound healing. It helps to control blood pressure, nerve
transmission, and release of neurotransmitters. It’s an essential component in the
production of enzymes and hormones regulating digestion, energy and fat metabolism. It
helps transport ions (electrically charged particles) across the cell membranes and is
essential for muscle contraction. Calcium Read more

On 28th February we saw headlines around the world once again condemning vitamin supplements. The stimulus? A Serbian doctor, Goran Bjelakovic, who was involved in an earlier canning job on vitamins in 2004 on vitamin supplements for reducing risk of gastrointestinal cancers (Lancet 2004; 364: 121928) somehow found himself doing it all over again. This time he published in the US-based Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). On both occasions, his papers triggered headlines around the world which appeared to have just one purpose: getting people to stop taking vitamin Read more
