You should eat 5 - 9 servings of fruit & vegetables every day!
The National Academy of Sciences, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Center for Disease Control, the National Cancer Institute, and the American Cancer Society all recommend that 5 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables be consumed each day, depending on a person's energy intake, to reduce the risk of cancer and other chronic diseases, as well as to maintain good health.
It is important to know that this recommendation is a base line. if you are demographically at a higher risk of cancers (Men above 40 years of age for instance) then doubling these base line recommendations is highly recommended.
If you are like most people we know, then it's hard for you to fit all the fruits and vegetables that you need into your diet each day. In this case, it makes good sense to take a daily supplement that contains a wide range of fruit and vegetable phytochemicals. A serving of Pro Vitamin Complete & Pro Liberator provides you with the equivalent of 15.6 servings of fruits and vegetables!
In all situations of disease, ill health, injury or aging, there is tissue damage at the cellular level. This tissue damage can occur quickly as with injuries or slowly over time as in degenerative disease. Free radicals are the most common cause of this tissue damage and free radicals have been linked to every known disease by more than 6,000 scientific studies. Antioxidants protect against free radical damage.
Vitamins noted for their antioxidant power, such as A, C, D, E, and other relatively new, more powerful antioxidant nutrients which have been fully researched, should be a part of your daily routine. "Very few individuals, if any, reach their potential maximum life span," claims Denham Harman M.D., Ph.D. "They die instead prematurely of a wide variety of diseases - the vast majority being free radical diseases." We recommend you protect yourself with a complete nutritional supplement containing antioxidants.
Scientists have developed a way to process fruits and vegetables that captures the nutritional value - phytonutrients - while leaving behind the skin, seeds and pulp. A supplement which includes such fruit and vegetable phytonutrient concentrates provides a much more complete and effective health benefit.

*About 3.5 ouncesAs easy as it is to say that these are the best foods to eat to insure you get the proper levels of antioxidants into your body, real life is not so easy. There are several reasons for this of course;
- There is just not enough time in the day to get fresh produce.
- A balance of fruits and vegetables are best, but vegetables are harder to keep on hand.
- If you have to watch blood sugars, then too many fruits can cause you even more harm.
- The ORAC scores shown are best case scenarios. Most produce found in the stores and markets across the country do not have the nutritional levels the government states above.
- Organically grown produce has a much better chance of providing you the nutrition, but can be cost prohibitive for most people.
- Many of us simply can't eat that much food.
So, taking supplements to help you achieve these levels becomes your best choice. In our industry, the following is a list of the best, most popular products that boast antioxidant levels. As you can plainly see there is a very large difference between these products.

Do You Feel You're As Healthy As You Could Be?
It makes good sense to take a daily supplement that contains a wide range of fruit and vegetable phytochemicals (antioxidants). Pronounced "fight-o-chemicals," phytochemicals fight to protect your health. A phytochemical is a natural bioactive compound found in plant foods that works with nutrients to protect against disease. They can have complementary and overlapping mechanisms of action in the body, including antioxidant effects and stimulation of the immune system.
"Phyto" is a Greek word that means plant. ORAC, short for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity, is a test tube analysis that measures the total antioxidant power of foods and nutritional compounds. Pro Vitamin Complete & Pro Liberator combined provide one of the most potent antioxidant solutions available today.
Is How You Feel Affecting Your Quality of Life?
The nutritional value in today's processed foods has been compromised substantially! Filling your body with nutrient-poor calories is like filling your car with watered down gasoline. Today's foods are, in a sense, hollow and lacking.
With the right nutrition you could have the energy to go hiking, bicycle riding, and swimming, skiing or even roller blading. Imagine if your body had everything it needed to properly fight off infection and illness. Too many people needlessly suffer from aches, pains and more. Your body has everything needed to maintain optimal health, but only if you receive the nutrition you so desperately need.
