Are You Wasting Your Money on Synthetic Vitamins?If you’re one of the millions of Americans who take vitamins everyday, you may not be getting what you think – Chances are you’re taking a synthetic vitamin, like most everyone else is. And that’s the problem – 90% of synthetic vitamins pass right through you! That’s why people joke about Americans having the most expensive urine in the world. But for some people it’s not funny. Studies show that synthetic vitamins might even be harmful. Zoltan P. Rona, M.D., says that while a healthy person will not drop dead immediately after ingesting synthetic supplements, "the long-term consequences of continuous, daily intakes are potentially dangerous." Reactions include fatigue, memory loss, depression, insomnia and potential liver disorders. |
Your vitamins are not synthetic if they are listed with their whole food source. For example, “Vitamin C (from camucamu fruit)” indicates that you’re getting the Vitamin C, along with the other nutrients it lives with in the whole fruit. Not just the isolated vitamin C made in a lab. Or “Vitamin A (100% as beta carotene from Dunaliella)” - that means the seaweed Dunaliella is the source of Vitamin A in this supplement. Most of the ingredients in a whole food supplement are listed using the names of the actual fruit or vegetable, like “blueberry” or “broccoli”.
