Nutrient Delivery System

To better understand the importance of A Delivery system in delivering nutritional supplements to your body on a cellular level we must first understand “Digestion” Digestion, as defined in Dorland’s Illustrated Medical Dictionary, is “the process or act of converting food into chemical substances that can be absorbed and assimilated.” A healthy digestive system is the gateway to better health and the delivery of the nutrients to the cells is the key that opens the door. Unfortunately, most people don’t give digestion or delivery of nutrients much thought—that is, until something goes wrong.

The process of digestion involves various steps in breaking food down into the nutrients that cells can utilize. The nutrients then must be transported from the intestines, into the blood stream and then delivered to the cells for proper nourishment. In order for this delivery process to be optimized, or nutrients to become bioavailable, other elements must be involved. Bioavailability of nutrients is defined as the degree to which a substance becomes available to the target tissue after administration.

In order for food to be digested into the most useable nutrients, enzymes must be present. Volumes of books have been written on proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, herbs, fruits, vegetables and the like. But little or nothing is written about the delivery of nutrients directly to the cells. Enzymes are the best-kept secret in promoting health and in fighting disease. Yet, nothing works without enzymes—no plants, animals, or humans.

Lack of digestive and energizing enzymes can mean that essential nutrients will fail to be extracted from foods and put to work in your body. Enzymes are very specific. That is, each enzyme acts in a specific way and on a specific food component. Divine Nature adheres to the holistic approach of using only whole foods and herbs in the Divine Nature’s products and the use of enzymes in each product is also considered vital to ensure greater digestion and release of the nutrients.

In addition to the release of nutrients from food components, absorption is the next step in delivery to the cellular level. With a poor or compromised intestinal system, the nutrients pass through the intestinal tract with little or no benefit. The absorption of digested nutrients from the intestine is influenced by the general condition of the body and current nutrition. In particular, in depth research has shown that the components of Divine Nature’s™ Delivery System with enzymes and specific chelated minerals, greatly facilitates nutrient delivery.

Minerals activate enzymes, and with specific minerals present at the time of digestion, nutrients are absorbed more readily through the intestinal tract. In experiments using specific Albion chelated minerals, carbohydrate and protein absorption was increased over 50%.

Studies have confirmed the value of including amino acid chelates to increase nutrient absorption. Research has demonstrated that when specific mineral amino acid chelates are included in food, more nutrients are extracted from the food. Furthermore, this increased nutrient availability results in increased deposition of the nutrients in the soft tissues of the body.
