It would appear that most "synthetic" vitamins are chemically identical to their natural counterparts. But I have seen a few interesting studies which show that on the subtle vibrational platform, they are completely different, a crude mimic. As far as the cis- and trans isomers of certain compounds are concerned, many of these are found in nature, but not all I believe. Avoiding concentrates of certain potentially harmful trans isomers of specific vitamins and their precursors, such as with B-12 and beta carotene, the other main problem with conventional U.S.P. grade vitamin pills is that the vitamins are in a isolated crystalline synthesized free form state and not in a conjugated food state matrix state with other nutrients as found in Nature, that is why they are easily recognized by the body as being toxic and less absorbed and execreted faster. The same problem exists with crude amino acid chelates of minerals, trying hopelessly to mimic the natural colloidal state of minerals found in plant foods. As far as I know, there are only two "natural" vitamin product ranges on the market that each utilizes proprietary technology to create "food state" vitamins and minerals, however both of these are being derived from USP vitamins concentrates. I have tested both of these and its actually a much more natural feeling you get from taking these, none of the normal side effects from the burden of execreting surplus synthetic free state vitamins are felt and you need to take a lot less to feel the beneficial effects. I would definitely recommend these as the best option for taking vitamin supplements. Food State vitamins made by Grow Company Inc.

A to help an eye problem because it could be toxic. She researched Vit. A and found out this ONLY applies to SYNTHETIC Vit. A, not natural Vit. A. Guess what this taught me?! I will never, ever, buy another SYNTHETCIC vitamin of any sort. The body doesn't recognize what to do with them and therefore doesn't utilize them properly, not to mention that synthetic vitamins can actually harm you." Synthetic vitamins are made out of petroleum by-products. The are not vitamins, but chemicals that look a bit like vitamins. Inuit eskimo indians consume 500,000-650,000 I.U.s of Vitamin A/day without any negative side-effects. There was a doctor in the Eastern US (I'll try to find his name) who used megadoses of Vit A to combat cancer (quite successfully). He gave his patients 3,000,000 I.U.s of Vit A/day without ever seeing any overdose symptoms. He stated that every overdose was with synthetic A. When I lived in the US, I regularly ingested 100,000 I.U.s of Vit A/day as a lifestyle for years. Here in Canada, I cannot get 25,000 I.U. Vit A (5,000 I.U is the maximum allowed). __________________________________________________________ Find your next car at http://autos.yahoo.ca -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
