4. Vegetable Culture Minerals (Phytochemically Bound)
The next innovation to spring from the Vegetable Culture fountain was Vegetable
Culture Trace Minerals. Known amounts of trace minerals molybdenum, vanadium, lithium, rubidium and germanium were
first introduced to health care professionals as Biotics Research Corporations Vegetable Culture Minerals. In
addition, chromium and selenium were also completely incorporated into the vegetable culture matrix, resulting in
the first yeast-free organic forms of these important trace minerals. Vegetable Culture Minerals combine soluble
forms of a particular mineral, with the vegetable culture cells. Again, conditions of environment and growth
are carefully regulated, resulting in the uptake and incorporation by the plant cells, just like Mother Nature.
Another example of "The Best of Science and Nature".
The Biotics Research Vegetable Culture Minerals are not to be confused with
simply mixing inorganic forms of minerals with a foodstuff and then calling the mix an organic mineral chelate.
Our Vegetable Culture Minerals are actually organically chelated or Phytochemically Bound. There are
laboratory tests to prove the point. The advantages of trace minerals as Vegetable Culture Minerals
are:
- Not a yeast source, avoiding potential
problems associated with yeast
- Trace minerals are present in forms our bodies are designed to
recognize and assimilate
- Organic mineral forms are tolerated better than inorganic
forms
- Organic mineral forms are subject to less interaction with other
minerals
- Lower doses may be necessary due to better
assimilation
Clearly, having our own laboratory facilities and research scientists on site
were essential in the development of our Vegetable Culture processes.
