Are Whole Food Vitamins The Better Choice?

In today's day and age of the all-American health craze, the terms "whole food", "natural", and "organic" are used interchangeably and are hot marketing terminology.

Any manufacturer that produces vitamins will do whatever they can to use these words to promote their product lines and raise their own bottom line. When it comes to vitamins, the situation isn't any different. You could easily buy three kinds of the same brand of vitamin supplement from one manufacturer -- one will be synthetic, the other organic or from natural sources, the other whole food vitamins. But is there really a difference? Or is the whole food vitamins hoopla another scam to get you to open up your wallet? (because you know they aren't going to be cheaper)

Despite what the big pharmaceutical companies are trying to convince you of, the fact is that the vitamins that come from food is simply not the same that will be found even in organic vitamins on the shelf. In fact, the actual vitamins that are being touted by the USP (United State Pharmacopoeia) are not found in the diet through food substances. The term "natural" even is entirely different. In the USP "natural" vitamins, the ingredients are extracted chemicals that have been mined out of the ground.

On the other hand, the supplements that you will find in whole food vitamins come in a complex food state that our body easily recognizes and uses immediately. The food in these vitamin complexes contains flavenoids, proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates. These are all elements our body readily accepts and uses as soon as it can. In the formerly mentioned natural and organic vitamins, our body still needs to go through a break down process in order to use them effectively. That is not to say our body can't or won't use them, just not as effectively as it does with whole food vitamins. If you are buying whole food vitamins, ensure the label specifically lists the whole food that the product contains, otherwise you are simply not purchasing a whole food vitamin.
