Vitamins are not a substitute for a healthy diet. It is important to keep in mind that synthetic formulations are containing amounts micronutrients that are exceeding our daily recommended amount and are not being absorb by our bodies properly.
Our bodies are designed to obtain vitamins and minerals from fruits and vegetables. It is also essential to maintain a healthy diet and to eat fruits and vegetables because they contain phytonutrients. Phytonutrients are natural compounds found in plant foods such as vegetables, fruit, whole grain products and legumes. Phytonutrients may help prevent disease and keep our bodies working properly.
Multivitamins cannot contain all of the phytonutrients because they have not all been discovered by scientist. There is an estimate that there are over 10,000 phytonutrients and only small percentages have been discovered.
