Issue #140: Why 99% of nutrition is “dark matter”

Hey Heart & Soil Tribe,

Let’s talk about something wild…

The INFINITE complexity of nutrition.

You already know real food (especially organs) beats synthetic supplements any day of the week…

But even among those of us who follow the animal-based path…

Most don’t realize just HOW complex nutrition really is.

For example…

Creatine synthesis relies on B6, B9, and B12.

But you need B12 to activate B9.

And choline can spare the need for both.

High zinc intake can reduce copper absorption, and excessive copper can limit zinc uptake

And B6 works with magnesium to keep the whole system running smoothly.

And B6 works with magnesium to keep the whole system running smoothly.

That’s just a glimpse — and we’ve only scratched the surface.

Nutrition isn’t just about getting enough…

It’s about getting the right nutrients in the right balance.

But here’s something even crazier…

Scientists just discovered that 99% of what’s in our food is basically INVISIBLE to us.

They’re calling it “nutritional dark matter.”

See, currently we only recognize about 150 nutrients in our food.

The basic stuff like protein, vitamins, minerals…

But they just found our food actually contains over 26,000 distinct biochemicals.

That means the nutrients listed on food labels only represent about 0.5% of what’s actually IN our food.

The other 99.5%?

Complete mystery.

Thankfully, our bodies are WAY smarter than the scientists who write the USDA Food Guidelines…

It knows it needs nutrients in specific ratios… working together… like a perfectly choreographed dance.

And when we give it what it wants (nutrient-dense foods from nature), it gets everything it needs to operate effectively.

Take liver for example…

It doesn’t just give you Vitamin A…

It gives you the BEST form of Vitamin A (retinol)…

Along with key nutrients that support its effective use in the body.

Same with iron…

The heme iron in liver is absorbed up to 35% better than synthetic non-heme forms.

And it comes with copper, B vitamins, and other nutrients that help your body actually USE that iron.

It’s like the difference between trying to build a house with random materials…

or getting a complete kit with everything in perfect proportions.

Your body recognizes the difference.

That’s why we’re so passionate about organ supplements at Heart & Soil.

We don’t isolate nutrients or create synthetic versions…

We simply preserve nutrients as nature intended, delivering organs in their whole food form.

The way your body was meant to receive them.

Because at the end of the day…

You can’t hack millions of years of evolution with lab-made nutrients.

But you CAN tap into nature’s wisdom.

That’s why our organ supplements have become such a phenomenon among those seeking optimal health.

We’re seeing incredible testimonials pour in daily from people who’ve finally found what their bodies were craving all along.

And while we could never replicate nature’s perfect design… we’re honored to help preserve it for you.
