Our Vision & Continued Goal at ROOT Cause Supplements, Fort Lauderdale, FL  was and is to develop a line of Capsules, Plant-Based Anti-Inflammatory Formulas, based upon continued ongoing  research, and sourcing of high quality pure ingredients, to lower Whole-Body Inflammation, while delivering highly absorbable vitamins, minerals, nutrients, Cofactors, Coenzymes & Adaptogens. We are a One-Of-A-Kind Supplement Manufacturing Company.

The Primary ROOT Cause of cellular dysfunction and subsequently disease, is chronic inflammation. If one was to Google any disease and inflammation or oxidative stress, an abundance of information will be provided. For example: Google Cardiovascular disease and oxidative stress, OR, Cardiovascular disease and inflammation, Brain Health and Inflammation, Colon Health and Inflammation etc… Lowering inflammation at the cellular level is more important than simply taking Vitamins.

Lowering Whole-Body Inflammation is extremely important for the Health of your Cardiovascular System, Neurologic System / Brain Health, Gut Health (Stomach, Intestines, Colon, Liver & Gallbladder), Pulmonary Health, Immune System Health, Blood Health, Kidney Health, and the health of every other bodily system and organ at the cellular level.

The sequence of importance would be: 1- Eat a healthy well-rounded diet, with nutrient dense foods, containing healthy fats and carbs, a higher percentage of lean proteins, and being mindful of ingesting foods which are anti-inflammatory, as opposed to pro-inflammatory.  2- Ingest Plant-Based pure supplements (without fillers or preservatives), with Anti-Inflammatory Plant-based Compounds (many of which an individual does not consume regularly on a daily basis in their diet, such as curcumin, turmeric, moringa etc…) to lessen the burden of oxidative stress (Chronic Inflammation) at the cellular level; lowering Whole-Body Inflammation. 3- Provide your cells with the sufficient amounts (as very often our cells are working at a deficit) of vitamins and minerals, to allow the cells to function effectively and efficiently, and without any deficits and increased risk for malfunction. However, simply ingesting vitamins does not suffice, without step 2 above.

Without Lowering your chronic inflammation (oxidative stress), you’re allowing your cells to function under excess duress, with an increased chance of error and aberrancy leading to dysfunction and disease. Also, without lowering the cellular inflammation, the vitamins and minerals ingested will not be utilized properly due to improper absorption by the intestinal lining,  improper bioavailability as the vitamins get transported to the cellular extracellular fluid by the blood, and utilization by the cell; as the oxidative stress / chronic inflammation at the cell-membrane will inhibit proper transport of the vitamin into the cell.

Along with Plant-Based Organic Ingredients, our capsules produced at ROOT Cause Supplements include only several synthetic (lab based) vitamins and minerals (in each capsule) such as magnesium, vitamin c, vitamin d3, zinc etc…We only include several synthetic (lab based) vitamins and minerals, along with plant-based compounds, in each capsule,  so we have a perfect balance of lowering inflammation, and optimal delivery and utilization of the lab-based vitamins and minerals.

The Synergy between all compounds in each capsule ensures low inflammation at the intestinal lining for maximal absorption from the intestine to the bloodstream, and ensures effective bioavailability to the tissues (extracellular space), and uptake by the cell. Thus, maximizing these agents Absorption (from gut to bloodstream), and Bioavailability (from bloodstream to tissues), as they work in Synergy with the Plant-Based Ingredients in each Capsule. Incorporating Excess Vitamins and Minerals of non-plant-based sources in one capsule contributes to increased inflammation, and defeats the purpose of taking supplements.

REMEMBER, the plant-based ingredients in each capsule also contain their own vitamins and minerals, acting with dual function of lowering Inflammation, and delivering highly absorbable vitamins and minerals as well, besides the added vitamins and minerals in each capsule.

Lowering Whole-Body Inflammation, is not ONLY for proper vitamin and mineral utilization, however, Lowering your inflammation is extremely healthy for your tissues and cells in and of itself. The #1 cause of morbidity and mortality is Cardiovascular disease, and the common denominator in Cardiovascular disease is Inflammation. The ROOT Cause of arteriosclerosis is chronic inflammation (Oxidative Stress), as a result of elevated cholesterol, elevated blood sugars, elevated blood pressure, elevated toxin levels from food, environment, cleaning products, body care products etc…

The perfect balance of Plant-Based Ingredients, and lab derived vitamins and minerals (magnesium, vitamin c, vitamin d3, zinc etc..), in our Capsules at ROOT Cause Supplements, allows maximum absorption and bioavailability, which makes them able to be utilized effectively and efficiently at the cell membrane / cellular level.

Consuming Other Supplements with many vitamins and minerals in one capsule, without plant-based natural ingredients to lower Cellular Inflammation, specifically at the Cell Membrane, does not yield appropriate therapeutic results. Most Vitamins and Minerals inside supplements are made in a Lab, and are synthetic (example- Vitamin C – Ascorbic Acid), thus creating several barriers with respect to the Human Cell utilizing the ingredients when ingested; one being the low grade inflammation created by such a foreign substance encountered by the body, and the second is appropriate intestinal absorption and subsequent Trans-Membrane Transport at the Cellular level, which is the ultimate goal of taking supplements;  for the ingredients to be taken up by your cells and to be utilized.

Thus, overwhelming the Intestinal Lining with an abundance of synthetic Vitamins and Minerals, without any added plant-based anti-inflammatory ingredients,  Lowers the Therapeutic Value of a Capsule, with low absorption at the intestinal level,  and subsequent low bioavailability at the cell membrane / cellular level.

On paper certain supplements may seem great, with an abundance of Vitamins and Minerals. However, The problem arises in 3 areas. Absorption & Bioavailability as referenced and defined above, are the first 2 barriers. The Third barrier is at the Cell / Cell Membrane. Assume a molecule of Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) makes it past the first 2 limiting steps / barriers, and it gets Absorbed into the bloodstream from the gut, then it becomes Bioavailable to the Cell as it has moved from the bloodstream to the Tissue itself. Tissue referring to the extracellular space in each Organ. Once the molecule exits the blood stream at the capillary level, it is in the Interstitial Space, or Extracellular Space, both used interchangeably, now it must be utilized by the Cell, and many synthetic vitamins and minerals reach a barrier at this point.

The Image below is a simplified image of the cell membrane. Obviously, there are thousands more structures / receptors / trans-membrane channels on the Human Cell Membrane not shown in the image. The top part of the image which is labeled Extracellular Side is: When a vitamin or micronutrient is absorbed from your intestines and enters the bloodstream; it then gets delivered to the tissue or part of the organ where it is released from the capillaries. That space it enters is the extracellular space, at which time it must be taken up by the Cell, by a trans-membrane transport process. Thus, it finally enters the inside of the cell and is utilized for proper and efficient functioning of the Cell. If we lessen the chronic inflammation (oxidative stress) at the Cellular Level, The Cell Membrane can function much more effectively, and when it is delivered nutrients, vitamins, minerals etc.. to be readily transported into the cell and utilized, it does so readily and without any resistance. Thus, we allow our body to function effectively and efficiently, with less stress on the cellular level, and less chance for malfunction and aberrant behavior.

The Nutrients, Vitamins and minerals we refer to are not only those derived from the plant-based ingredients, and the lab-based ingredients in each capsule, however, those Nutrients, Vitamins and minerals taken in from your healthy diet as well, which we want to be absorbed properly and utilized by the CELL.
