Vitals Salvestrol shieldSalvestrol® Platinum is a plant extract rich in specific phytonutrients (phytoalexins) that are naturally present in relevant quantities in unsprayed fruits and vegetables. Phytoalexins are plant defense compounds that protect the plant against fungi, viruses, bacteria, UV light, and insects. The plant only produces them in larger quantities when necessary.
Low salvestrols in current diet
The discoverers of salvestrols made an interesting finding: the salvestrol content in fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, and processed foods varies enormously. Pesticides, such as fungicides, have drastically reduced the salvestrol content in common fruits and vegetables. This is logical, as there is no longer a need for the plant to protect itself by producing phytoalexins. In addition, plant selection and breeding over the past fifty to sixty years have led to the cultivation of far fewer plant varieties naturally rich in bitter salvestrols (and thus less dependent on pesticides). People also like to choose new varieties of fruits and vegetables that are uniform in size, color, and shape, ignoring older varieties and less attractive specimens, which are richer in salvestrols. Finally, food producers remove salvestrols from (refined) foods such as fruit juices and olive oil for the sake of taste, color, and clarity. The taste becomes sweeter without the need to add sugar. Refined foods generally contain little to no salvestrols. The British research group that discovered salvestrols concluded that today's diet contains 80 to 90% fewer salvestrols compared to fifty to one hundred years ago. Only in unsprayed and unprocessed foods are relevant quantities of salvestrols still found.
Why salvestrols are measured in points
The salvestrol point system is designed to indicate the amount of salvestrols in supplements and food. Different salvestrols have different potencies that are not directly related to the number of milligrams. The scale of the point system is based on a calculation of the amount of salvestrols present in a historical diet from over 100 years ago. That amount is set equal to 100 points.
Salvestrol® Platinum contains 2000 points per capsule and is therefore very highly dosed. For comparison: Salvestrol® Shield contains a maintenance dose of 350 salvestrol points per capsule.
