Natural vitamin, mineral content
Natural vitamins and minerals have a special role to play in our health, as they are often combined with other compounds that help them to be absorbed and utilised more efficiently. In addition, nutrients from natural sources often go hand in hand with other beneficial nutrients that contribute to a healthy lifestyle.
However, the disadvantage of synthetic vitamins is that they often cannot fully reproduce the complexity and effectiveness of natural versions. They lack the natural environment in which the vitamins were originally found and lack other compounds that may help them to be absorbed. Therefore, the absorption efficiency of synthetic vitamins may vary and the same positive effects may not always be achieved as with natural sources.
