What are PHYTO-NUTRIENTS?

Phytochemicals are naturally occurring, non-nutritive chemicals found in plants and plant-derived foods. Phytochemicals are not vitamins and minerals and they help the body in a variety of ways though the mechanism is not completely clear. These chemicals appear to work alone and in combination, and perhaps in conjunction with vitamins and other nutrients in food to prevent, halt, or lessen disease. This interaction is believed to be a large part of why eating whole foods and especially raw fruits and vegetables is more helpful for the body than using supplements.

The phytochemical is often found in the coloring agent in fruits and vegetables, so eating a wide variety of fruits and vegetables will allow you to get all of the possible health benefits from phytochemicals.
