The human body’s need for iron is well understood . Without iron, our bodies could not synthesize hemoglobin, the protein-iron compound found in the blood responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs for cleansing. Iron also plays a key role in the essential enzyme activity of every cell in the human body. Standard Process has developed a whole food supplement which includes not only iron, but also vitamin C and B12 to assist with iron absorption. This supplement is called Ferrofood.
“How much iron an individual needs on a daily basis to maintain optimal health depends upon many factors. Similar to calcium, iron absorption depends on its source and the combination of nutrients ingested at the same time. In addition to absorption considerations, our individual need for iron fluctuates under circumstances such as pregnancy, menstruation, growth periods, weight loss, gender and age.
Iron is needed to deliver oxygen to red blood cells. Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutrient-related conditions among infants, young children, women and the elderly. The amount of iron we get from foods we eat coupled with an increased need for iron we actually absorb, which can leave us at risk for developing anemia. In order for vitamins and minerals to work properly, they must be consumed in a balanced fashion. The variety of ingredients in Ferrofood are combined to promote a consistent amount of iron along with complimentary nutrients, such as vitamin C, that aid in iron absorption. The vitamin B12 from alfalfa and bovine liver works along with iron to encourage healthy red blood cell formation.” – Ferrofood Product Detail Sheet

Vitamin C is a nutritional compound we hear a lot about. If you start to get a cough or cold, the first piece of advice you’ll receive is “be sure you’re getting enough vitamin C!” In addition to providing immune support, Vitamin C also maintains healthy muscle and skeletal function, keeps your heart healthy and provides strong antioxidant protection. Many of the Vitamin C complexes available over the coutner are synthetic and not very bioavailable. Standard Process has developed a whole food supplement for Vitamin C called Cataplex C.
“Vitamin C is an important nutritional compound essential for supporting the immune, cardiovascular, endocrine, musculoskeletal, and hematopoietic systems. Vitamin C is supported in these roles by other ingredients of Cataplex C, including veal bone PMG extract, dried alfalfa juice, echincea, and rice bran. These ingredients work together by providing a variety of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids in properly balanced, physiological ratios.” – Cataplex C product detail sheet

Well-being is about more than physical health alone. It is also about psychological and emotional health. More and more researchers are helping us understand the role that emotional and psychological stress can have on our bodies and overall health. Unfortunately, the number of people being affected by conditions such as depression and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is on the rise. Currently, an estimated 15 million people are affected by some degree of mood change and the numbers continue to grow. Because what we eat has an enormous impact on our brain function, nutritional deficiencies will affect our ability to process and cope with difficult emotions. Standard Process has developed a whole food supplement specifically designed to assist with emotional and psychological health called Min-Tran.
“Feelings of sadness or emotional turmoil can occur when the mechanism in the brain designed to adjust mood in response to different degrees of stress, fails to respond. Since the brain is an intricate and complicated organ that requires a number of nutrients in order to function properly, diet greatly influences the brain’s ability to function at optimal capacity. The mineral complexes found in Min-Tran support nervous system health and help stabilize levels of important neurotransmitters that are associated with mood. Min-Tran, a natural calmative, can help create and sustain a more tranquil mood on the inside to help keep reactions to life’s challenges on the outside in greater balance.” - Min-Tran Product Detail Sheet

Scientific research is consistently demonstrating the importance of Vitamin D. This essential vitamin not only supports bone and teeth health, it also plays a vital role in immune support. Sun exposure is one of the best ways to get Vitamin D, but during the cloudy and rainy winter months, getting enough sun exposure can be a challenge. Standard Process produces an excellent, whole food supplement for vitamin D called Cataplex D.
“The vitamin D complex found in Cataplex D supplies essential nutrients for maintaining healthy bones, muscle, teeth and epithelial tissue. Vitamin D plays an important role in cell replication and tissue formation and helps maintain a healthy immune system. The vitamin D in Cataplex D increases the availability and absorption of calcium by all tissues. It also helps control blood levels of calcium and phosphate, which together, work at the cellular level to supply energy and the materials for growth and repair. Calcium also plays a significant role in the growth process, influencing reproductive health and keeping bones and teeth at the appropriate density for proper growth and maintenance. Vitamin A is essential to the normal growth process and is also supportive of reproductive health.” – Standard Process Cataplex D Product Detail Sheet

Getting enough calcium is a critical nutrition concern for everyone. Calcium is vital for not only bone mineralization, but also maintenance and function of many cell membranes and the proper functioning of many enzyme systems. Supplementing with calcium is an excellent idea to make sure that your body is getting enough of this important nutrient. Standard Process produces a whole food supplement for calcium called Calcium Lactate.
“Calcium and magnesium are of critical important to human health, especially bone health. Bones and teeth contain 99% of the calcium and two-thirds of the magnesium that circulates in the body. Calcium lactate is a highly soluble calcium salt with high bioavailability, making it an excellent source of calcium. Magnesium citrate is also a highly bioavailable form of magnesium. Together these two minerals support a whole host of biological functions including bone formation and growth, muscle contraction, the constriction and relaxation of blood vessels, energy metabolism and much more.” – Standard Process Calcium lactate product detail sheet
