What does cold pressed tablets mean?


Question:
Have seen vitamins advertised in this form online and was wondering what it means?

Answers:
Cold Pressed: A natural physical process used to extract vegetable oils and essential oils from citrus fruits. The seeds of the fruit are "pressed" which releases their oil. Since no heat is used in this process, the oils retain their essential fatty acid content.

Other Answers:
Hot-pressing, unfortunately, actually cooks out a portion of the nutrients. Cold-pressing is more costly, but retains the entire food value.

cold pressed means the tablets are pressed in a way that keeps heat from cooking the nutrients out of the tablet- soft pressing and press cooling equipment are a couple of ways (the higher the compression used the higher the heat generated, the more "vitamins" lost in the process)- if you use a standard hot press vitamin tablet you might as well go out and eat pebbles off the ground (not to mention the neurotoxic artificial sweeteners in 'em- especially kids vitamins)
