Natural Vs. Synthetic Vitamin Supplements

A lot of people today are going crazy over natural
products. They say that they are safer and more effective
than those formulated in laboratories.

The same debate goes on in the world of vitamin
supplements. On one side are the proponents of natural
supplements while on the other are the ones for the
synthetic variety.

But is there really a difference between the two? Yes and
no. Why? Below are the answers.

The most obvious difference between the two is that one is
taken from a natural source while the other is formulated
in laboratories.

While advocates of natural products claim that theirs is
better because natural products are purer, there is no
definitive study that they can refer to to prove their
claim.

Then there is the price difference. It is no longer news
that the so-called natural products are more expensive than
their synthetic counterparts.

While the price difference can be justified by the means
they are prepared, unless proof is given that one is more
effective than the other then there’s no cause for a
debate.

But then again, the debate over which is better may never
be over since a person will always prefer one thing over
the other.

But regardless of the source and the means of producing
these supplements, what really is important is the actual
amount of vitamins present there.

Some natural ones have additional ingredients which lessen
its intended effect while there are synthetic ones that are
overstuffed with a lot of vitamins which in effect lessens
their effectiveness.
