The Widespread Use of Herbal Vitamins

There is a widespread feeling in our culture that taking pills and drugs should be avoided, and in fact, many people will avoid taking anything additional that they don't "absolutely have to".

With this, herbal vitamins are becoming increasing popular as to many people they seem more natural than anything a pharmaceutical company will market. The true meaning of herbal vitamins is that they are produced from plants, generally using buds, flowers, leaves, bark, roots, stems, or any part of a plant at all. Many Easter cultures have been using them medicinally for ages. Today in the Western World herbal vitamins are adopting those uses, and you will see them in many forms -- tablets, supplements, capsules, tinctures, and powders.

Herbal vitamins are extremely popular as they contain many active ingredients that work together to create a therapeutic result. Any herbal vitamin could contain all of a plants compound, or simply one or two of its isolated ingredients that have been removed. Many herbs however, do not have identified active elements, so the entire herb is used in the vitamin to achieve the desired benefits.

Of the many types of therapies that are hitting the market in terms of herbal vitamins, most of them are being utilized to treat mild or chronic health issues. They are also being used quite often simply in order to maintain optimum health. They are for example useful for immune health, lowering blood cholesterol, and in the prevention of fatigue. They are seldom used for severe health issues alone. You will find most herbal vitamins in capsules with enteric coating to ensure they pass through the stomach into the small intestine before they dissolve. This will minimize stomach discomfort from the herbs, and as well maximize absorption into the blood.
