Whole Food Supplements - Natural Health Solutions
What are Standard Process Whole Food Supplements?
Whole food supplements are not intended to replace food, but they are effective for people not getting enough nutrition because of a lacking diet. Standard Process is an example of a manufacturer that creates supplements from their own organic farm. Many supplements one would buy in a drug store are synthetic or made from lesser quality materials. Synthetic supplements are created artificially and in a lab. These would include vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants, to name a few. Whole food supplements are precisely that. They are made from whole foods. Standard Process owns and operates organic farms that grow the whole food ingredients for the supplements they produce.
These natural supplements support these interrelated systems of the body:
- Cardiovascular System
- Urinary Health
- Sports Supplements
- Nervous System
- Musculoskeletal Support
- Inflammation and Immune System
- General Health and Wellness
- Endocrine and Lymphatic Systems
- Digestive Health
- Endocannabinoid System

Whole Food Nutrition
Many holistic health are practitioners, and especially Applied Kinesiologists, and Nutrition Response Testers will almost certainly find issues related to your diet that is likely causing your health symptoms.
The natural health solution will include dietary changes, some to add to your diet, and some to remove. Whole food supplements are a convenient solution and provide the same nutritional healing as buying, cooking, and eating in the proper quantity on your own.
Obviously, synthetic supplements are not natural. They are man-made. Standard Process supplements start life on their own certified organic farm without using herbicides, pesticides, or GMOs. Producing high-quality plants in nutrient-dense soil is only the first step of their manufacturing process. Scientists perform over 2,100 tests a week to ensure their farming, testing, juice extraction, separation, drying, packing, and cleaning processes all yield the highest quality supplements as possible.
How to Begin a Whole Food Supplementation Treatment Plan
It is easy to see how valuable a return to providing your body with the nutrition it needs can improve and restore your overall health. It may not be so easy to begin on your own.
- What brand do I buy?
- Where do I buy them?
- Do I also have to take herbal supplements and supplements not derived from whole foods?
- There are thousands of types of supplements. What supplements does my body need?
- How many do I take a day?
- How often do I have to take them?
- How long do I have to take them, weeks, months, years?
- How often do I have to change my menu of supplements as my body becomes healthy?
- How much will I have to spend on supplements?
Your medical doctor isn't likely to recommend any type of supplement for treatment of illness. They prescribe medicine. Given these questions most people have, the best option is to see your local holistic practitioner, which can be any of the following based on your diagnosis:
- Applied Kinesiologist (often Chiropractors)
- Nutrition Response Tester (often Chiropractors)
- Integrated or Functional Medicine Doctor
- Board Certified Dietician or Nutritionist
- Acupuncturist
These holistic professionals are not in any particular. Most holistic practitioners do not accept health insurance as payment, and most offer a free consultation for new patients. Reach out to two or three and find your best match.
