After conducting significant research, studies such as those by Smail et al. (2021) have found that the rate of absorption for natural vitamins can often be significantly higher than that of synthetic varieties. Using plant-based ingredients like these may help your body align with the natural chemistry of the vitamins. So, how can you use this fact to help you achieve greater health?
Below, we examine the growing evidence linking holistic health products, such as those from Modern Holistic Health, to achieving a healthier lifestyle. Read on to discover how our personalized and data-driven advice can help you get what you need, and what our recommended steps are to help you achieve:

Many conventional products in the modern world contain more than simply the active ingredients that we would want to help us achieve health success. Many of them contain things like:
Natural alternatives instead focus on whole-plant extracts. They not only remove the single chemical that science has determined triggers the desired effect, but also bring with it all the nutrients that the plant contains, as part of a full suite of interactions.
While the active ingredient may impact our bodies, it is essential to note that the combination contained within the plant is a much more natural one and may offer unique benefits beyond those of the single active ingredient. At the same time, the reduction in processing necessary when creating a natural health product tends to preserve phytonutrients and other assets that can work with our body, rather than overriding it.
Long-term, the use of cleaner options can lay the foundations for healthier outcomes, boosting the body’s capabilities through the use of non-manmade alternatives.
One thing we often hear is that people are frustrated because they keep using products labeled “Natural.” In truth, “natural” options can still be synthetic. It seems like a lie, but specific fragrances or disruptive elements can often exist within a product, even when it is entirely natural.
Many sugars, for example, are natural substances. However, too much of them can disrupt your body’s efforts to maintain a consistent energy level throughout the day.
At the same time, with every company creating a unique blend of ingredients, it can be challenging to determine the exact amount of each chemical you have consumed, making it harder to maintain safer and healthier combinations. Cross-contamination in this way could even introduce allergens into the mix, or otherwise over- or undersupply critical nutritional elements.
Finally, it is essential to understand that the extraction methods used by many companies can sometimes degrade even otherwise universally applicable vitamins and other nutrients. As such, you might end up with a lower nutrient density between the product being pulled off a plant and it ending up in your hands, which can weaken your immune response.
Many holistic products are designed to maintain high nutrient densities, much like many natural substances. The combination of different vitamins and nutrients can offer a more comprehensive micronutrient benefit, filling gaps where other foods might focus solely on specific nutrients. You don’t then need to dose on each one, and you can instead focus on a more natural diet, topping things up with a balanced combination of nutrition.
Similarly, the reduced toxins from more natural ingredients, rather than the aforementioned dyes and preservatives, as well as other materials, can lighten the burden on your body’s detoxification process, reducing the strain on your liver. You can then use the energy you would usually expend on liver function to support your metabolism and immune system, keeping you healthier and allowing you to make better use of other foods.
It is important to be vigilant about such things. Many companies are not even honest with their products and what they contain, or expect people to do too much research before they can be assumed to “safely” use their products.
For example, EWG recently found that many personal care products contain excessive toxins compared to others in the same category. Still, those who use them were unaware that what they bought was any different from other options. When you are buying “health” products from a company that does not make you fully aware of the impact of all of their chemicals, can you really trust them?
It is time to investigate holistic health products that can offer you a greater set of key nutrients, such as:
Different herbs, oils, and teas often contain many of these nutrients, offering specific benefits such as smoothing energy peaks and helping with focus. A holistic health focus means that it is much harder to overdo any of these, but much easier to ensure a balanced mind and body, keeping you calm and alert.
While not specific to your body, mental wellness can come with knowing that you are doing more for the environment and not contributing to the horrors of the modern world. As such, finding health options that use organic farming reassures you that you are doing your part to lower greenhouse gas emissions.
Regenerative agriculture and locally sourced, fair-trade supplies also ensure the ethical use of both land and labor, helping you take a load off your mind.
If you’re considering making the switch, start by auditing your own kitchen and medicine cabinet. Look for products with:
Swap out one item at a time, slowly allowing your body to adjust to the new balance, and monitor how your mind and body both react to the change. Of course, do not substitute any necessary medications that you need to maintain your health journey, such as those prescribed by a physician, and ensure that you continue to maintain a good nutrient balance.
Over time, this may be more difficult. After all, NSF recently discovered that Americans want more clarity and standardization in food labelling.
Due to the lack of clarity in food packaging, it can be challenging to understand precisely what you are putting into your body. However, guides online often contain exact lists of ingredients for each product, and a little research can result in clear nutrient values for everything you find.
Some of the easier swaps you might want to make when switching to holistic health products include replacing your:
Instead, choose products such as foods, soaps, and home care products that can replace these, offering you a cleaner lifestyle in the long term. Then, come back to them after a few months and check to see how much better they have made your life. If you find that something has improved, continue using that product and refill any that have started to run low, thereby maintaining the long-term benefits.
For even greater benefits, consider focused and personalized testing that can pinpoint lifestyle deficiencies and burdens. Modern Holistic Health offers telemedicine consultations, which can often help with chronic issues, as demonstrated by Ezeamii et al. (2024).
With remote lab testing and data-driven supplement plans, we eliminate the guesswork from the process, helping you direct your health journey and saving you money in the long run.
We can also address various forms of emotional healing by focusing on the nervous system and offering both retraining and tracking techniques, as well as coaching and support, to help you reach your desired goals.
We can then advise you on which holistic health products to switch to, re-testing periodically to both demonstrate your progress and help refine your next steps.
If you are unsure, we have detailed information available for review online, and many of our clients have undergone notable transformations. We thus help alleviate much of the fatigue and confusion that often accompany the use of popular and commonplace products or wellness programs.
As mentioned above, swapping out a single product today for more holistic health products could help you kickstart a series of healthier decisions and get you on the right track. Clean up what you take into your body, and ensure that you have everything you need for a healthier tomorrow.
