Synthetic Vitamins currently being sold in almost every brand name supplement today can be dangerous to your health. For example, taking the synthetic form of vitamins C (ascorbic acid) can actually thicken the arterial walls of the heart by a much as 2.5 times, which can lead to heart disease! Other synthetic forms of vitamins A, E, B, etc. can be just as dangerous.

Most vitamins on the market today use synthetic viatmins rather than whole vitamins straight from vegetables and fruits because synthetic vitamins are much cheaper to produce.

Vitamins are essential for metabolism, growth and life of the body. According to research, because of the nutrient-deficent foods in our diets today, everyindividual should take a multi-vitamin. Otherwise, our bodies must compensate for nutrient deficiencies. Many people with cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and other serious disease may have been able to avoid such illness if they had been recieving proper nutrition. But not all vitamins are good for you. In order for the body to absorb and use a vitamins, all of its parts must be present. In order for the body to absorb and use a vitamin, such as ascorbic acid, the body must first supply the other parts of the whole food complex by robbing its own collagen tissue of the missing elements, leaving you even more depleted. Fractionated vitamins (synthetic vitamins) also produce a drug-like reaction in the body and have been shown to increase the risk of cancer, birth defects, and heart disease. They stimulate increased activity of nerve cells, bringing a feeling of euphoria and temporary increase in energy, but long tern damage to the body. Whole food vitamins, such as those in this formula do not rob precious nutrients from the body, but supply the individual cells with the nutrients they need to flourish.
