It's becoming increasingly clear that even if you eat right, by choosing fruits and vegetables at your local grocery store, you won't be getting the adequate supply of vitamins and minerals your body needs. Common synthetic vitamins have been around for years, but questions have always been raised on their effectiveness and production methods. Today a new line of healthier organic vitamins are available. "Organic" means vitamins in their natural form rather than synthetic.

The best solution, and the one I strongly recommend and follow on a daily basis, is to consume healthy organic fruits and vegetables as a source of nutrition and to supplement your diet with organic vitamin supplements. This is the only way you'll get adequate nutrition. Avoid all isolated vitamins like bottles of vitamin C tablets because, after all, most of those vitamins are synthetically produced.

THE FACTS

A report published by the UK-based Consumer's Association found that vitamin C levels in common grocery produce are a fraction of their textbook values.
