![]() While researchers haven’t even begun to untangle all the super combinations available, these good-chemistry eats and sips can pack outsized benefits through food synergy. Instead, they seem to perform better when set free to mingle. Nutrients and antioxidants shouldn’t necessarily take a solo adventure to improve our health. It’s one reason why research suggests that when nutrients like vitamin E and calcium are taken in isolation, they don’t have the same protective powers as when they’re consumed from a mixture of whole foods. That’s real food synergy: when the benefits of two or more foods eaten together are greater than the sum of their parts. But the best hookups don’t just taste great when working in unison-they also amplify each other’s nutritional benefits. They all go together like Thelma and Louise. Sure, you think you know all about food synergy. 2010 Sep 29(3):529-42.Heading out the door? Read this article on the new Outside+ app available now on iOS devices for members! Nutrient Synergy is the answer to optimal health! In short, synergy means “more with less!” It is important to remember that no single nutrient works alone in the body and that any single nutrient, or their random combinations, may result in biochemical imbalances in our body. We have shown that such a synergy combination can simultaneously affect key mechanisms of cancer, improve functions of many organs, as well as having many other benefits 2. Nutrient synergy makes it possible to affect multiple biological targets at once. ![]() This desirable effect was achieved without increasing the doses of individual nutrients in the mixture 1. These nutrients used together could further decrease cancer cell growth by up to 65% moreover, the complete inhibition of cancer cell growth (100%) could be achieved by including small amounts of a few other micronutrients. ![]()
