Vitamin benefits are proven for people who don’t get the proper nutrition, which is just about everyone these days! The benefits of vitamins include effective treatment for heart disease, high cholesterol levels, immune system function, fighting off colds and flu, skin disorders, and eye disorders.
It is important that you know some facts about vitamins in order to choose the right vitamins and supplements for you. Then you will receive all the benefits of vitamins you possibly can without overdosing on them. You can have too much vitamin D, what too much vitamin C will do to you etc. It is important to keep your vitamin supplements in their proper balance.
Fresh Organic Nutritious Food is Best
Truly, I believe the best way to get proper nutrition is from organic fresh produce. That is fruit, vegetables, nuts and whole grains, herbs, some unhomogenised dairy (if you are not lactose intolerant), some chemical and hormone free meat, organic free-range eggs, and good quality vegetable oil like coconut and olive oil. Cook from scratch and try to eliminate all processed foods from your diet. A balanced diet is best.
Genetically Modified Organisms in Supplements
Substances like vitamin C are often extracted from corn which is one of the main GMO crops in the US. When GMO-containing ‘food’ can legally be labeled as ‘natural’ under current regulations, you have to ask yourself, what ‘natural’ supplements are based on Monsanto’s GMO crops?
More Is Not Better
In order to reap the most from your vitamin supplements, many people take more than is recommended from ALL sources. Because your body doesn't produce or store vitamin C any excess will be flushed out in the urine but this isn’t the case with all the vitamins. I also recommend you buy organic whole food supplements for maximum vitamin benefits. Click on a vitamin below to read about its health benefits.
