Everybody needs vitamins, but when you get yours from real foods, you’re taking a safer path. This is a major reason to eat a diet full of a variety of fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts. And it’s a very good reason to take whole food supplements before thinking twice about vitamin pills.

To keep it simple, vitamin pills contain parts of foods or synthetic imitations of vitamins, while real whole foods contain vitamins along with their natural occurring synergists (helper nutrients).

There has been a debate for decades in which top scientific researchers argue that vitamin pills can be dangerous and have dangerous side effects, from birth defects to liver damage and more. On the other hand are the vitamin manufacturers who claim their products are safe. But in the middle we have the whole food nutritionists who recognize that the body is neither meant to ingest drugs or isolated (man-made, even if so-called “natural”) vitamins because in the end they are chemical concoctions.

Since the beginning of time, life forms have been getting their vitamins from foods. Only in last century or so did scientists create vitamins. While these have had some benefits in fighting disease, the truth remains that only foods contain a “complex” in which vitamins are only one cog in the wheel, so to speak.

NutriPlex Formulas offers whole food supplements made of foods and herbs. The vitamins are in the foods, not added as with other companies. This makes a huge difference to your health, your body and your healing process. Our cells know the difference between an isolated vitamin and a food, which is why vitamin pills have been reported to have side effects.

If you want vitamin A, eat fish and carrots; for vitamin B it’s yeast, bran, wheat germ and rice; for vitamin C it’s fruits and berries, lemons, limes, apples; for vitamin D, it’s sunlight. When you look at the ingredients on NutriPlex Formulas’ bottle labels you’ll see the names of foods. On other products you’ll see chemical names such as niacin, niacinamide, ascorbic acid and palmitate – these are not foods, but isolated chemicals. Your body knows the difference!
