What a great article.
Vitamins are very confusing and most are basically sugar pills. At this time there is no truth in labeling for vitamins so many things can be added that can be more harmful than good.
With that being said when your diet is not enough for issues you may have, reading the labels are important. The easiest way to take the mystery out of it is to look for vitamins that is from whole food nutrition. The ideal would be from organic fruits and veggies. Otherwise you are ingesting ingredients that could create challenges later.
Most vitamins are made in a laboratory. Lab created or synthetic vitamins do not perform the same functions in your body as vitamins found naturally in whole food. Many synthetic vitamins may deplete your body of other nutrients and add stress to the kidneys. Vitamins do not exist as single components that act on their own. Vitamins are made up of several different components – enzymes, co-enzymes, and co-factors– that must work together to produce their intended biologic effects.
Be pro-active, do your research and choose wisely
