Vitamins from Standard Process are whole food supplements that have been available on the market since 1929 through chiropractors and other holistic practitioners.

Too often, the nutrient-rich elements like the bran and the germ from wheat are taken out of the foods we consume.

This means that much of our processed food is of a poor quality nutritionally. In an effort to replace nutrients that have been removed, commercial food processors try to add back certain B vitamins.

Other failures include food are stripped of much of their nutritive value so that they are processed to have a longer shelf life, diminishing the freshness of ingredients.

As people, we rarely consume anywhere near enough fresh fruit and vegetables on a daily basis, and get the majority of our grain intake from prepackaged processed foods like over refined white breads, instant rice and cereal.

It is only by consuming whole food supplements that the average person can hope to supply our bodies with the nutrients, all the vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, and phytonutrients that we are not getting from our diet, which foods possess in a way that nature intended.

The quality of the ingredients used in a product like Standard Process Vitamins will greatly affect the potency and effectiveness of the end product.

It is a well-known fact that manufacturers who regularly grow the majority of their ingredients are able to have control over quality of the components that go into the making of the supplement.

Each ingredient comes into season at different times, and knowing when it is at its peak efficacy is key in ensuring that an ingredient is at its absolute best once harvested for inclusion in the manufacturing process. Being mindful of these factors allows the company to provide the best quality of nutrient possible.

The ingredients grown at the Standard Process Farm are certified by the Midwest Organic Services Association (MOSA) to ensure that rigorous farming practices are maintained so that only the highest quality organic farming techniques are practiced.

This certification includes the keeping of detailed records, ensuring that no seeds are genetically modified or otherwise treated with chemicals, using only natural, untreated water for irrigation, and returning all material from the extraction of ingredients back to the soil in the form of composted fertilizer.

Like the rules which must be followed in farming, the process of manufacturing has to be conducted in such a way that the vital nutrients will be kept within the ingredients. For example, the application of excessive heat will destroy phytonutrients and enzymes.

The manufacturer is required to use a low-temperature, high-vacuum method to ensure that the nutrients in the ingredients are preserved. Standard Process utilizes Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs), as drafted by the Food and Drug Administration specifically for the dietary supplement industry.

Standard Process Vitamins and MediHerb products and literature can only be purchased through qualified health care professionals including doctors, nurses, and chiropractors.

The knowledge and expertise of these professionals allows them to recommend both Standard Process vitamins and health regimens that will take into account each patient's unique health needs.
