Multi-Vitamin Supplements are not Created Equal
Choosing a vitamin supplement should not be a guessing game. You need a specific balance of natural vitamins from sources that provide the complete vitamin, together with all its cofactors in a form that is easily recognized and absorbed by your body.
Most of the vitamin supplements on the market today are composed of fractionated and/or synthetic vitamins that your body can not properly use.

What Should You Look For?
In order to be complete multi vitamins should be 100% natural
whole food vitamins

When we pull apart the constituents that make up a food we change the food into a “non-food”. These non-food fractions are often unrecognizable to your body, and some can actually create a drug-like reaction.
I am sure you have heard the term that doctors use ....
Do No Harm!
In many cases these non-food fractions can do more harm than good because they can’t function normally in your body. Most supplements will actually “rob” your body of the missing nutrient co-factors required to process the supplement properly.
These other nutrients could have been used by your body for other functions such as creating or repairing cells, preventing disease or giving you energy so you feel and look younger.
When you are
reading labels
on supplement bottles look for foods you recognize such as acerola cherry, green pepper, alfalfa, orange peel, rose hips or wild yam rather than chemical names such as pan-tothenic acid, thiamin mononitrate ascorbic acid etc. If the supplement you are considering is truly natural, the food sources should be listed.
