  Cell food nutritional supplements were manufactured and developed by a company called NuScience. It takes approximately nine months to make a single bottle of cell food because of the complicated process of infusing oxygen with nutrients. Various formulations are available that include a mix of different vitamins. However, all of the varieties contain 75 or more minerals and amino acids. Cell food only works when placed in a liquid medium such as water. The directions advise to place eight drops in pure water daily.
  
  

Athletic Performance

• The Sport Institute at the University of Pretoria in South Africa conducted a study that revealed how cell food increased athletic performance by improving oxygen uptake to cells. Cell food is also high in electrolytes, which is beneficial for people who play sports because they tend to sweat a lot and lose salts and electrolytes during physical activity. Cell food is perceived to improve strength and endurance by strengthening cells within the body.
  
  

Reduces Free Radical Damage

• Cell foods contain a wide range of vitamins and minerals such as silica, vitamin A, D, B12, vitamin E, C and other essential minerals and nutrients. The mix of vitamins is different in each formulation. Some formulas have more immune boosting vitamins while others have more minerals. These vitamins and minerals have been shown to reduce free radical damage. Free radicals are unpaired molecules that break down tissues and structures within the body. Lifestyle activities such as smoking and poor diet increase free radical damage while eating a health diet and taking supplements fights this damage and preserves the cells of the body, resulting in slower aging. The University of Maryland Medical Center says both vitamin E and C in particular reduce free radical damage and boost immunity.
  
  

Increased Energy

• Another benefit of cell food is increased energy levels, as it contains high levels of vitamin B-12 and other b-vitamins. Colorado State University says b-vitamins function like co-enzymes, which helps the body retain energy from food. B-vitamins also help maintain a healthy nervous system, which is also essential when it comes to energy because the nervous system communicates with the brain to keep the body moving.
  
  

Healthy Skin

• The nutrients found in cell food also contribute to healthy skin. Vitamin C and E are two of the most essential skin-benefiting vitamins, as both of these antioxidants fight free radical damage. Free radicals damage the skin over time, resulting in wrinkles and skin discolorations. Controlling free radical damage helps the skin maintain a healthy glow and elasticity.
