But, you might ask, why do we need supplements?

My view is that the need for supplements has never been greater than it is today. Our foods simply do not have the same nutritional value of years past. Plants and vegetables absorb 67 vitamins and minerals from the soil. However, a typical farmer will add only 3 nutrients back into his farming soil. Over time, this practice creates a huge nutritional deficiency in our daily diets.

So, today more and more today people think that we need to look elsewhere than the foods we eat if we want optimum nutrition and health. With increased industrialization of food production, fruits and vegetables often don't stay on the vine, bush or tree long enough to store the vitamins and nutrition our bodies need.

I'm convinced that this new product, Preferred Greens with MSM, can help us overcome many of our deficiencies by providing you and me with the nutritional equivalent of two pounds of fresh vegetables in every serving.

So, while I prefer to get my nutrition directly from foods that are grown naturally, I have to accept that there are good reasons why natural food supplements now seem to be as common as aspirin.

Is there a need, you might ask, for a specific vegetable supplement?

Well, according to a 1997 study (revised in August 1998) by the Food and Drug Administration, Americans ate less than five servings of fruit and vegetables daily, far less than five to nine servings recommended by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

And more recently, in 2003, a study by the National Cancer Institute showed that 74 percent of women surveyed and 85 percent of men surveyed didn't think about eating the required minimum number of vegetable servings per day.

Added to that, the highly respected English medical journal, The Lancet, indicated that eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can lower the risk of strokes. That's fine, but still, many people, especially men, are only contemplating changing nutritional habits.

So, rather than continuing ?just contemplating? till the end of your life, isn't it better to find a good, natural supplement?

A good natural supplement will, in a sense, equal what we get from an ideal diet. This proper nutrition means that you take in the necessary vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and proteins daily.

Other researchers support the need for a good, natural supplement by showing several reasons why Americans aren't buying fresh fruits and vegetables. These reasons include:

-- Fresh fruits and vegetables cost too much.

-- They take too long to prepare.

-- They spoil too quickly.

-- People are concerned about pesticides in their food.

So, no matter how ideal it would be to get our fruits and vegetables from nature, it seems that a good supplement is what we really need.

That's why I'm looking into the Preferred Greens MSM formula. We all need to decide for ourselves which is the best formula to take. As far as I can tell, an important advantage to this one are, (besides the fact that it's naturally alkaline so it balances your body's pH) is its great combination of ingredients. These include organically grown grasses and vegetables, sprouted grains, blood purifying and immune enhancing herbs, and antioxidants. It also adds MSM (MethylSulfonylMethane), to enhance and preserve the radiating frequency of each ingredient.

This last point is relevant because it seems that the nourishment given to the body needs to have a minimum resonating frequency of 70 Megahertz. Typical American diets rarely resonate above 50 Megahertz and most supplements have a standard frequency of only 5-10 Megahertz. However, Preferred Greens with MSM resonates at an astonishing 250 Megahertz.

See for yourself, and let me know if you find a better health supplement!
