DAILY BIOBASICS™ Complete Nutritional Supplement with Essential Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs, Phytonutrients, Fiber, and Antioxidants

What will Daily BioBasics do for me?

Daily BioBasics is an amazingly comprehensive multiple-vitamin-mineral product formulated in a convenient, concentrated form that you just scoop into your favorite beverage and drink once a day.  It contains 100% of the Recommended Daily Values (RDV) of the essential vitamins and minerals, intentionally excluding iron, phosphorous, potassium and sodium. (Supplemental iron is excluded because most people don’t need it and it can stimulate free radical production, while phosphorous, potassium and sodium are minerals that are prevalent even in diets of poor quality.) Daily BioBasics is unique as it contains 100% of the Daily Values for both the important minerals calcium and magnesium too.

Having the benefit of no added iron, Daily BioBasics also contains phytonutrient concentrates from 35 fruits and vegetables, 17 herbs, numerous antioxidants, plus prebiotics and probiotics as well as over half of the recommended USDA Daily Value of fiber so important to routine cleansing and healthy bowel function.  All this nutrition in a convenient, single serving makes Daily BioBasics a popular way to get that valued nutritional insurance.

Are You Getting all of the Nutrients You Need?

According to data compiled by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) regarding the American diet for the mid 1990's, average consumption is heavily weighted toward added fats and sugars, while falling short of serving recommendations for fruits and vegetables. According to National Eating Trends, the preferred American meal is an already prepared, one-dish entree and only 41% of all dinners served in America include a vegetable, other than salad or potatoes.

Fruits and vegetables are critical sources of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and phytonutrients. Unfortunately, improved efficiency in growing, harvesting, and storing fruit and vegetables has also had impact on their nutritional content. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) published data, between 1963 and 2000, which shows that the content of calcium and carotene in broccoli has decreased nearly 50%. The  amount of carotenes in collard greens has fallen 42%, potassium has dropped nearly 60%, and magnesium is only 16% of its 1963 level. Vitamin C in peppers has dropped from 128mg to 89mg, beta-carotene in apples from 90 to 53mg, calcium in pineapple has dropped from 17mg (per 100 grams raw fruit) to 7mg.  Cauliflower has lost nearly half of its amount of vitamins B1, B2, and C over the past 37 years. Many important nutrients, such as selenium, chromium, zinc, folic acid, indole-3-carbinol, and flavonoids, were not measured in the past. Some of these are still not measured, so their status is still unknown.

Busy  lifestyles and depreciation of vital nutrients in our agriculture continue to make it difficult to meet the Daily Values (DV) for nutrition as suggested by the USDA. The RDV’s were set as the minimum daily requirement of vitamins and minerals necessary to maintain one’s health, not necessarily to ensure optimum health.

High Quality Fiber

Daily BioBasics (DBB) is a uniquely comprehensive nutritional supplement, with 13 grams of fiber from psyllium seed and husk, maltodextrin-soluble fiber, guar gum, flaxseed and alginate, along with other superior cleansing agents like bentonite, beet root, lactobacillus, and black walnut leaf.

Adding just two scoops of DBB to a favorite beverage provides an amazing amount of nutrition, plus supports daily colon cleansing and bulk at the same time.

One serving of DBB supplies 500% of the DV for vitamin C, 125% for folic acid, 100% of the DV for biotin and at least 150% for all the rest of the B vitamin family, 333% for vitamin E, and at least 100% of the DV for calcium and magnesium.

In addition to the minerals and vitamins for which a DV has been established, DBB also supplies trace and ultra trace minerals, such as boron, vanadium, and silicon, along with other vitamin factors such as inositol, choline, and para-amino-benzoic acid (PABA).

Contains a Broad Spectrum of Antioxidants

Beyond the well-known antioxidant vitamins (A, C, and E), DBB provides an entire spectrum of other important antioxidants such as alpha lipoic acid, lutein, lycopene, and glutathione. This is then reinforced using flavonoids with potent antioxidant activity such as hesperidin, quercetin, rutin, citrus bioflavonoids, and herbs known for outstanding antioxidant potency, including: Rosemary, Bilberry, Turmeric, Green tea leaf extract, and Milk Thistle Seed (Silymarin). The antioxidant activity of these herbal concentrates is primarily due to their rich content of polyphenols and flavonoids. Since antioxidants function as a network in scavenging many different types of free radicals, it is important to consider that the greater the spectrum of antioxidants taken in the diet, the more effective they can be in protecting sensitive cell membranes from free radical attack.

Sea vegetables such as Laminaria digitata, Norwegian Kelp (Ascophyllum nodosum), and Dulse leaf, harvested from pristine waters, provide an unparalleled source of essential trace nutrients. DBB also supplies super food concentrates, known for their unique nutritional value, including the micro algaes known as spirulina and chlorella.

And So Much More!

A blend of freeze-dried vegetable concentrates includes five members of the cruciferous (Brassica) family; broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, kale, and cauliflower. These vegetable concentrates are rich sources of indoles, isothiocyanates, and sulforaphane, which have been shown to particularly  promote health, despite exposure to harsh environmental chemicals. Celery contains abundant amounts of phthalides and polyacetanes, two phytonutrients that help in assisting the body's cleansing processes. Spinach and parsley are good sources of glutathione and chlorophyll; parsley is rich in polyactylenes and in the flavonoid apigenin, a powerful antioxidant. Watercress releases phenethyl isothiocyanate that, as shown in animal studies, helps maintain lung health despite exposure to harsh environmental chemicals, and contains other compounds that assist the natural cleansing processes of the liver. Carrots, beet-root, green pepper, and green peas are rich sources of betaine, necessary for critical methylation reactions in the body, as well as carotenoids, and natural vitamins and minerals.

The final category of ingredients in this marvelous recipe for health are the herbs:  alfalfa, rose hips, acerola, chamomile flower,  lemon grass leaf, Ginkgo biloba, Siberian ginseng, and red clover blossom. Used for centuries for their health sustaining properties, these plants are a treasure chest of flavonoids, antioxidants, isoflavones, phytochemicals, vitamins, and minerals.
