Which multivitamin is best?

I do track and anowboard, I also don’t eat very healthy, white rice every day. What can I take that will keep me up to speed with my sports and bad diet?

Right now I have ‘Mega Vita Min for teens’. I don’t know if I should take it though, because it comes from one of those vitamin stores, and i’ve heard of people getting sick from taking vitamins from these stores where the sales clerk isn’t very informed.

I think one of the biggest misconceptions about store-bought vitamins is that they are the same vitamins we get from food. Most often, they’re actually synthetic forms of what occurs naturally in food, and that synthetic, manufacured for is really scary!

“Taking the synthetic form of vitamin C, for example, can actually thicken the arterial walls of the heart by as much as 2.5 times which can lead to heart disease and can do harm to the body! Ascorbic acid ( synthetic vitamin C ) is the word that you need to watch out for!

Taking the synthetic form of vitamin A is proven to actually increase the rate of cancer which can do more harm than good to your body! But the whole vitamin A ( from vegetables ) actually does the exact opposite. Whole Vitamin A significantly reduces the rate of cancer! Most Vitamin nutrients on the market today use stripped down synthetic vitamins rather than whole vitamins straight from vegetables and fruits like our vitamin! Why? Synthetic vitamins are much cheaper to produce.

Taking the synthetic form of Vitamin E is proven to actually suck vitamins and minerals right out of the bones which can do more harm than good to the body! Once again, most vitamin supplements today are using all the synthetic vitamins because they are cheap to manufacture.”

It seems to me that synthetic vitamins, those that we normally find in the sotres, aren’t the best option. I use a food-based multivitamin so I get all those nutrients in their original form.

How do you know what you’re getting?

“Remember, next to the name of any vitamin, if you don’t see a name of a food or an asterisk leading you to a place on the label that tells you the food source of the vitamins, you are more than likely looking at an inexpensive, processed vitamin that is stripped of all other compounds that are normally present with vitamins that are found in fruits and vegetables. If you see the name of a food referenced to the vitamin, be excited to know that you are getting vitamins direct from the whole food and, therefore, you are also getting the essential precursors, enzymes, activators, antioxidants, and micronutrients (essential compounds) that are naturally found with vitamins. These essential compounds make it much easier for the body to absorb and utilize the vitamins you are taking! Your body deserves to be given the right vitamins that are essential for your good health!”
