Vitamin Supplements: Synthetic vs Natural?!


Question: Vitamin Supplements: Synthetic vs Natural!?
How can you tell if vitamin tablets are made with synthetic ingredients or natural ingredients!? Many Thanks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Unless the supplement is something in an extract, tincture or similar form such as for things like Ulmus rubra(Slippery Elm), Hypericum perforatum (St Johns Wort) or say Fish Oil!.!.!. all vitamins are synthetic!.!.!. by synthetic they have been made in a lab and not extracted from nature!.!.!. the cost of extracting them in their whole forms from living things would be astronomical & time consuming to say the least!.

So whenever you see your calcium, zinc, multi vitamin or iron etc; it's always going to be synthetic!.

The difference between synthetic and naturally occuring vitamins and minerals are NILL; Synthetic Vitamin E is exactly the same as naturally occuring Vitamin E!.

The difference lies in the other vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals & macro nutrients (Protein, Lipids & Carbohydrates) that accompany that vitamin or mineral in natural whole foods which decide how the substance is identified, processed & utilised!.
