Salvestrol 60 vegcaps

Salvestrols are a group of chemically unrelated plant derived nutrients-phytonutrients-which should be present in our daily diet in fresh fruit and vegetables. They are normally present at such low levels that hitherto scientists had thought them to be insignificant to contribute to good health.

However, a group of UK researchers have now discovered why they are essential to our wellbeing by gaining an understanding of how the body uses these compounds. It’s a mechanism that first developed in mammals 150 million years ago, but now our diet is becoming depleted of these essential nutrients.

*Salvestrols are found in Fresh Fruit and Vegetables-But can we get enough from today’s food?

We all know why we are being urged to eat so much fresh fruit and vegetables to help prevent the conditions which seem so prevalent today despite the advances in our understanding of health and nutrition. It now seems that one of the most critical elements in this component of our diet is *Salvestrols.

However, the researchers who discovered *Salvestrols, and now understand so well their essential role in maintaining our wellbeing, have discovered that they are disappearing from our diet at an alarming rate.

Our diet contains probably only 10% of the *Salvestrol content it did a century ago.

So unless you eat organic fruit and vegetables, you are unlikely to gain the *Salvestrol contribution which would have been consumed a century ago. Even then the researchers have discovered varying amounts of *Salvestrols in different varieties of the same fruit and vegetables, and they have also found that cooking can destroy some of the more fragile *Salvestrols.

The dose of *Salvestrols present in this product is sufficient to ensure you supplement your diet to a level which is adequate to enable these remarkable substances to maintain good health. The food state organic plant based extract also contains essential co-factors which our scientists now know enable *Salvestrols to work most effectively. These include, niacin, biotin, vitamin C, iron, selenium and magnesium.

Fresh fruit and vegetables-can we ever get enough?

Eat 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day urges the UK Government. In Australia the recommendation is even higher. Yet have you ever wondered how come the problems we are trying to overcome are still so prevalent and not disappearing even though we are eating more fruit and vegetables? Is it that we are not eating the right fruit and vegetables? Or is it simply a function of an aging population? It is now beginning to appear that it is neither of these reasons but something much more fundamental.

Much of the work that led to these recommendations was based upon observations that people who ate a diet rich in fresh fruit and vegetables had a lower incidence of modern day problems than the population which consumes our modern day diet. Yet little attention has been paid to the actual sources from which these fresh fruit and vegetables foods came.

Take the Mediterranean diet for example, where olive oil is thought to be particularly beneficial. Traditionally, olive oil was made from stone ground organic olives and is cloudy in nature with a slightly spicy/tangy flavour. Compare that with today’s offering which even though it may be organic is usually refined and clear with little of the traditional flavour.

Then consider the French Red Wine Paradox which intrigued everyone with its claimed health benefits for a while. Traditionally, French wine is made from organically grown grapes, and the wine is fermented on the grape skin so that trace ingredients in the grape skin are extracted into the wine through this process. Very different from some modern methods of wine production which ferment grape juice in the absence of the skins.

Is there a theme beginning to come through here? Organic, traditional methods of food production from traditional varieties of food sources?

Have you ever wondered why even our fresh food tastes so bland? Is there something missing which we don’t yet know about?

Our sense of taste is a remarkable phenomenon. It can detect the presence of minute traces of chemically complex ingredients in our food and either alert us not to eat a food because it is dangerous or encourage us to eat something because it is “good for us”.

But, what if the beneficial ingredients in our fresh fruit and vegetables that we detect by taste are present at such low levels that they had been overlooked all the time by scientists as being beneficial?


More importantly, what if these beneficial substances were being removed from our diet as a result of modern day food production and processing?

And what if a very critical process in the cells of the body depended on these natural plant based food ingredients?

Might this explain the reason why the benefits of our increased intake of fruit and vegetables is not as powerful as predicted?

Well, this is exactly what is happening and the complex process by which the body uses these substances has now for the first time been unravelled. Amazingly, it first evolved in mammals 150 million years ago and harnessed the benefits of a richly diverse plant diet to help act as a protector in the body against the problems which today are so prevalent.

*Salvestrols-used by nature for 150 million years yet disappearing from our diet at an alarming rate.

A group of UK based researchers have now not only identified these critical nutrients which mammalian life has used literally since dinosaurs walked the earth, but they have also reached a fascinating and enlightening conclusion about how the body uses them and why they are disappearing from our diet today at such an alarming rate.

These substances known as phytonutrients-essential nutrients derived from plants-and collectively called *Salvestrols, have 3 common features which are now recognised to be important.

Firstly, they share the same mechanism of action in protecting the body, secondly they are all bitter substances and thirdly they are generally produced by plants in order to protect themselves from attack by disease.

Having identified these common factors the researchers, led by 2 professors of pharmaceutical medicine, then turned to identifying the levels of these compounds in our food today and found them virtually absent.

They then embarked upon more research which found three important factors were involved in their absence from our diet. Firstly, modern varieties of fruit are bred to be sweet and so the compounds are being selectively, but unknowingly removed from the fruit we eat. Secondly, the trend towards unsweetened fruit juices has lead to these bitter compounds being removed through food processing technology. And thirdly, the ubiquitous use of fungicides on our food and in the environment generally, results in these substances not being expressed in plants because they are never exposed to the threat which causes them to be produced.

*Salvestrols-correcting today’s dietary deficiencies as nature intended

It is estimated that we consume today something like 10-20% of the *Salvestrols which would have occurred in the diet 100 years ago. So even though the government and our own body is urging us to eat more fresh fruit and vegetables, it is unlikely that unless you eat an organic diet you will even begin to get sufficient *Salvestrols in your diet.

The levels of *Salvestrols in a typical “5 portion a day” basket of non-organic fruit and vegetables from a high street supermarket have been measured and found to contain only 10% of the estimated daily dietary requirement. So eating adequate amounts of commercially available fruit and vegetables will not provide the diet with the essential nutrients the body needs. And even an organic diet may be inadequate since the actual varieties of fruit and vegetable commercially available may be low in *Salvestrols meaning that the diet will necessarily be deficient.

This is because different salvesterols are found in different concentrations and with different levels of biological activity in fruits like strawberries, oranges, grapes and even cocoa. However, consider that there are over 550 varieties of oranges, over 200 varieties of strawberries and grapes respectively and 450 varieties of cocoa bean! All with different levels of *Salvestrols each with different levels of biological activity.

So without the expertise now developed by our scientists it is virtually impossible to guarantee and adequate intake of *Salvestrols from the diet which is why taking a supplement is so important.


*The dose of *Salvestrol in each capsule is equivalent to the *Salvestrol intake which would be obtained from consuming portions of normal fresh fruit and vegetables each day. You should not replace the fresh fruit and vegetables you normally consume just because you are taking *Salvestrols as a nutritional supplement. Fresh fruit and vegetables contain many beneficial ingredients such as fibre and vitamins which are not present in this formulation and are essential to your wellbeing. So take your *Salvestrol supplement as well as eating fresh fruit and vegetables.
