Description
Nine out of ten Americans do not get the nutrition to maintain proper health.[1]
It’s true and that means you are probably not getting proper nutrition each day.
Politico reported, “Measurements of fruits and vegetables show that their minerals, vitamin and protein content has measurably dropped over the past 50 to 70 years.
In 2004, a landmark study (10) of fruits and vegetables found that everything from protein to calcium, iron and vitamin C had declined significantly across most garden crops since 1950.”[2]
This means our bodies are lacking what they need to build, repair, support immune function, and stay healthy. But we’re here to help. Optivida uses a proprietary process that captures and retains all of the nutrients from organic fruits and vegetables.
A Patented Food Preservation System
How Optivida is able to use whole-foods in their products
OptiDri™
- Freeze drying, as with other heat-source drying technologies, kills vital nutrients while altering the color and flavor.
- Optidri™ technology is tuned to specific natural light wavelengths to evaporate water without using heat.
- OptiDri™ is a gentle process that preserves all of the nutrients, color and taste.
- Optidri™ is the only technology capable of drying certain varieties of whole foods in their entirety
The Issue: To date, nutrient manufacturers have depended on heat as their mode of dehydration. Freeze dry, drum dry and spray dry all use heat to eliminate water from the product. Since heat destroys delicate nutrient compounds and water molecules indiscriminately, manufacturers began lowering processing temperatures so they could market the resulting “raw” powders as having higher-than-average nutritional integrity. However, even the lower heat damages necessary enzymes and other phytonutrients. It alters the color and flavor. For some nutrients, like vitamin C, the losses can be as high as 80%.
The Solution: The pioneering technology of Optidri™ does not rely not on heat. Instead, the tuned process uses specific wavelengths of natural light, to target and evaporate water molecules. The technology is so gentle it has the unprecedented ability to leave the original phytonutrients, plus the fiber from the skins, seeds and pulp, totally intact. Optidri™ is the only technology capable of drying certain varieties of whole foods in their entirety.
Why Optidri™ technology is the only raw “standard”
Manufacturers using heat-based technologies calculate the lowest temperature they can use to get the lowest level of nutrition loss. They will self-proclaim that this is the raw “standard.” In reality, any loss of nutrients, color and taste is sub-standard. Optidri™ technology is the only standard for drying and preserving raw fruits and vegetables.
COMPLETE ESSENTIALS: an all-inclusive source of daily nutrition
Immune Support
Complete Essentials contains a blend of eight greens, grasses, and phytonutrients that support the immune system and the body’s natural detoxification mechanisms. It also includes foods high in alkaline, which raise the body’s pH numbers resulting in a boost to the immune system.[6,7,8,9]
Support Digestion
Contains more than 20 plant-derived enzymes that are optimal for digestion. These enzymes target proteins like gluten and casein (dairy), which are difficult to digest.
Reduces Inflammation
Supplemental plant enzymes found in Complete Essentials improve digestion, flush out toxins, act as anti-inflammatory agents, increase nutrient absorption, and have some immune-boosting and anti-carcinogenic effects.[3,4,5]
Overall Well-Being
Dietitians and health professionals suggest increasing your intake of fruits and vegetables to combat obesity, increase immune health, prevent cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or a myriad of other negative health conditions. Complete Essentials is the solution to getting more fruits, vegetables, and vitamins in your diet. (Michelle Bacarella, MS RDN)
