Natural vitamins

Natural vitamins are made from all natural products or foods. Synthetic vitamins are made from a chemical process that uses coal tar. Synthetic vitamins are inferior because not only is coal a fossil fuel (which is detrimental to the environment) but it also may be a carcinogen.

Natural vitamins utilize natural sources to supply the body with the nutrients. They have co-enzymes in them that help the body more effectively process and absorb the vitamins. Absorption is much greater with natural vitamins.

Synthetic vitamins often pass through the body unabsorbed and are excreted via urine. Natural vitamins are much more likely to be utilized. If the body has sufficient amounts of a vitamin it will not be absorbed. Examine supplement labels for absorption rates.
