Vitamin & Mineral Loss

The longer it sits, the weaker it gets.


The Invisible Problem After Harvest

Most people don't realize:
From the moment produce is picked, it starts losing power.

Water-soluble vitamins like Vitamin C and B Vitamins are highly unstable.

Antioxidants, enzymes, and minerals degrade under light, heat, and oxygen exposure.

Nutrient density begins declining within hours, not days.

Freshness is not a luxury. It's the difference between fueling your body... or fooling it.


Real Data on Vitamin & Mineral Loss

Scientific studies show alarming losses:

Spinach loses up to 90% of its Vitamin C within 24 hours of picking (Penn State University).

Green Peas lose up to 51% of Vitamin C within 48 hours of harvest (Healthline).

Broccoli loses over 75% of glucosinolate compounds (cancer-protective nutrients) after 7 days in cold storage (USDA Research).

Strawberries lose 30% of antioxidants after just 2 days at room temperature (Cleveland Clinic).

Meanwhile, the average grocery store vegetable is already 7–14 days old by the time you buy it — and that’s before you store it at home.


Why Industrial Food Chains Fail Nutritionally

The modern food system is built around:

Long-haul trucking

Cold storage facilities

Warehouse sorting

Supermarket display times

This means: ✅ Food picked before ripeness
✅ Food exposed to artificial ripening gases
✅ Food degrading silently over weeks

By the time you eat a “fresh” grocery store salad, it could have lost half or more of its original vitamins and minerals.

You’re paying full price for half the nutrition.


Produce Now’s Solution — Nutrients at Their Peak

Produce Now Grow Pods harvest at the moment of peak power:

Crops grown in sealed, climate-optimized environments

No transit delay between harvest and delivery

No gas ripening, no chemical treatments

Delivered to consumers within 48 hours — while nutrients are still at full biological strength

This is farm-to-body — not farm-to-warehouse-to-truck-to-shelf-to-trash.


What Full Nutrition Does for You

When you eat produce that hasn’t been robbed of its nutrients:

Faster muscle recovery after training

Stronger immune system defense

Better digestion and gut health

Clearer skin and cellular repair

Steadier energy levels without crashes

Sharper cognitive function from full B Vitamin, Magnesium, and Antioxidant intake

It’s not just about eating “clean.”
It’s about eating at full force.
