Turn Back Time, a company specializing in arterial health and anti-aging has set up a unique free online resource to help people replace expensive health supplements with real food. The online calculator uses a comprehensive database to help calculate how to obtain the vitamins and minerals the body needs from real food.

The user simply puts what's in a specific supplement, and the calculator will make suggestions for the equivalent nutrient in real food. This resource will be useful for specific groups such as vegans and vegetarians. It will also be useful for people that are intolerant to certain foods and need to replace the vitamins or minerals those foods would have provided.

This resource is also recession friendly. Millions of pounds are spent purchasing health supplements. The ‘pills or food’ calculator will help people save money by extracting their vitamins from their natural food rather than paying for supplements.

The Food Standards Agency advises that “Most people should be able to get all the nutrients they need by eating a varied and balanced diet”. This new online resource will help people achieve that goal.
