Research in the past century was primarily concerned with the classification of individual vitamins, minerals, trace elements or fatty acids as essential or non-essential. The general opinion was that 27 micronutrients (13 vitamins, 7 electrolytes and trace elements) plus protein, fat and carbohydrates were sufficient to keep a human being in good health.

Today we know that neither plants nor humans with only 27 isolated micronutrients can survive. What is more, they cannot keep a person healthy and free of ailments during an 80-year life span. Human metabolism is dependent on the wealth and completeness of vegetable nutrients. After over eight decades of applied vitamin research one thing is certain: 27 micronutrients are elementary in ensuring man’s survival, but it is necessary to resort to nature’s vitamin store in order to safeguard a fitting quality of life in one’s old age. It is these NATURAL VITAL SUBSTANCES that connect the isolated coloured dots of the 27 “essential” micronutrients and unite them in a smooth spectrum picture.
