NUTRILITE
PHYTONUTRIENT
SPECTRUM
Phytonutrients are natural, protective
substances found in plants that give
them their unique color. To get the full
range of health benefits associated with
phytonutrients, try to eat a rainbow of
color every day.
Divide fruits and vegetables into
five groups:
Red, Orange/Yellow, Green,
Blue/Purple, and White.
Eat at least one fruit or vegetable
from each color and go for variety.
Despite a certain popular saying,
eating more than just an apple a day –
try tomatoes, red peppers, strawberries,
pomegranates, or radishes – will provide
you with more health benefits.
Read on to discover which fruits,
vegetables, and plants contain
specific phytonutrients to support
your health needs. NUTRILITE is
proud that phytonutrients have been
a cornerstone of our nutritional
supplements for over 70 years.
Only the best phytonutrients go into NUTRILITE ® products
Because they are made from plant concentrates, NUTRILITE supplements contain a wide array
of phytonutrients, the natural nutrients in plants that are beneficial to human health, setting
Nutrilite apart from other makers of dietary supplements. While we believe you should eat whole
fresh fruits and vegetables whenever possible, Nutrilite products fill in the gap between the fruits
and veggies you need and what you actually eat, with natural plant ingredients and the nutrition
that most people don’t get from their diet alone.
Because Nutrilite believes strongly in the power of phytonutrients and wants to use only the
best sources, many of the plant concentrates that go into NUTRILITE products come from our
own farms. In fact, NUTRILITE is the only global vitamin and mineral brand to grow, harvest,
and process plants on their own certified organic farms, spread out over 6,400 acres in
California, Washington state, Mexico, and Brazil.
The best phytonutrients come from organic farms
Why go to the trouble and expense of farming organic? Plants produce phytonutrients as
a defense mechanism against pests and disease. When crops are sprayed with chemicals
that defend the plants, they don’t have to work as hard to produce phytonutrients and the
result is less nutritious produce. On the flip side, plants raised organically have abundant
amounts of higher-quality phytonutrients.
Owning and maintaining control over our own NUTRILITE farms, ensures that our supplements
contain high-quality ingredients. Our crops are grown in accordance with nature, based on the
following nine principles.
1. THE FARM IS AN ORGANISM
Nutrilite balances man-made and natural features and ensures that each farm has the right
number and proportion of crops, animals, and plants, so that each farm works as a selfsustaining,
living organism.
2. THE INTEGRATION AND DIVERSITY OF PLANTS AND ANIMALS
Nutrilite considers it crucial to have the right number and diversity of both the animals on the farm
and the people living on and contributing to the farm.
