Are Natural Vitamins Better than their Synthetic Counterparts?

In today's day and age of increased health awareness, more and more people are shying away from putting anything deemed as synthetic into their bodies.

Major vitamin manufacturers are catching onto this wave providing marketing claims that natural vitamins which have been taken from natural sources are healthier for you than the synthetic vitamins that are made through chemical processes. Interestingly enough, you will often see these same vitamin manufacturers carry both a natural and synthetic version of vitamin products on the shelves. Yet they still claim that natural vitamins pack a greater potency and are absorbed much better by the body. Curiously enough, the natural vitamins are generally more expensive as well than their synthetic counterparts.

The truth of the matter is that almost all supplements, regardless of what their source is, experience chemical laboratory processing. The products that are identified as natural are simply synthetic vitamins that have small amounts of plant extract as an additive, and thus, they can be identified as natural. You may see a product such as "Vitamin C from rose hips" for example. Refining and processing occurs to even the most natural vitamins with the addition of additives. At any rate, chemically there exists no difference between either synthetic or natural vitamins, and our body can not determine the difference between either of them.

Specifically there is no cause to pay more for vitamins labeled as natural. A synthetic brand will cost you less money, and provide the same advantages as natural vitamins will. Mind you, simply because a vitamin is cheaper will not mean it is the best either. When buying supplements, look at the additives listing to ensure there are no allergens listed for you. You may have to pay a little extra for a vitamin that has fewer filler compounds in it.
