Potassium, acquired from bananas, raisins, spinach, nuts and fish.

Fiber, found in legumes, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds.

Magnesium, from peas, black beans, spinach and almonds.

Vitamin A, found in milk, eggs, sweet potatoes, cantaloupe and carrots.

Vitamin C, found in fruits such as strawberries, oranges and kiwi, and veggies such as broccoli and green peppers.

Vitamin E, found in seeds and nuts, whole grains, avocados and spinach…..Daily Health News…………….

Our bread products and cinnamon rolls at A Health Connection LLC have a high percentage content of real fiber and Vitamin E (very heart healthy) that is natural because we mill the wheat berry with nutrients intact and bake it the same day. No chemical or synthetic nutrients are  added.  Our bread products also contain natural Vitamin A, the B Vitamins, and Calcium; again they are not synthetically added, therefore, it is called the ‘Bread of Life’. The amazing thing is, it is quite delicious!!!

Our whole food supplements are loaded with all nutrients as well. Again, ‘whole food’ is key; no chemically or synthetically added nutrients.
