Some of these products are not particularly useful, according to a survey; but, besides that, do not assume they are safe because they are &#8220;all natural&#8221;. Unfortunately, in most countries the vitamins are classified as natural if they contain only 10% of the natural form of the vitamin. This means that your <a href=\"http:\/\/www.othhealth.com\"><b>natural vitamin A supplement<\/b><\/a> can have 90% of synthetically produced chemicals. If we talk about other vitamins, B and C are usually synthetic, and are made \u200b\u200bto mimic the way the natural vitamins act in our body. Synthetic vitamins do not originate in nature and contain chemicals that were not intended for human consumption. Following the anthropological way, we are made \u200b\u200bto eat foods collected from the earth, not which originates in a laboratory. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Bitstream Charter,serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>Can vitamins be harmful for the body?<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Bitstream Charter,serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">We all know that most <b>vitamin A supplements<\/b> found in health food stores and food stores are synthetic. It is important to understand that synthetic vitamins do not behave in the body in the same way those natural vitamins containing foods. Natural vitamins are composed of different substances: enzymes, coenzymes and cofactors that work together (what is called synergy) to perform their functions within the body. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Bitstream Charter,serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Nature is very wise and we know it very well. The natural vitamins that are extracted directly from the plants contain various other fundamental elements that are necessary for the vitamin to do its job by the book. Those vital elements can never be implanted into these laboratory-generated vitamins. It\u2019s all about finding the perfect synergy with other available minerals and nutrients in the body, which even the <b>best vitamin A supplements<\/b> can never endow with. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Bitstream Charter,serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">For example, if we look at the development of vitamin C we will see that it consist solely of ascorbic acid, however, that is only one component of the complex of vitamin C, which includes routine, bioflavonoids, K factor, factor J, Q factor, tyrosinase and ascorbigen. When you eat synthetic vitamin C your body is forced to take all other components as well. In case you do not have adequate reserves, the body cannot use ascorbic acid, it is just excreted in the urine. The argument that if synthesized vitamin supplements are harmful or not, must be put in &#8220;quarantine&#8221; for a while. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Bitstream Charter,serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>How to know if Vitamins are Synthetic or Natural?<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Bitstream Charter,serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The Organic Consumers Association has published a chart of ingredients to help consumers identify natural and synthetic vitamins.

Adults who consume low-fat dairy products, enriched with vitamin A, and also eat a lot of fruits and vegetables usually, do not need <b>vitamin A supplements<\/b> or multivitamins containing vitamin A. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Bitstream Charter,serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Long-term usage of large amounts of vitamin A can cause serious side effects including fatigue, irritability, mental changes, anorexia, stomach upset, nausea, vomiting, mild fever, excessive sweating and many other side effects. In women, who are in the past menopause phase, should avoid taking lots of vitamin A supplements as they may increase the risk of osteoporosis and hip fracture. There is growing concern that taking high doses of antioxidant supplements such as vitamin A could do more harm than good. Some research shows that taking high doses of vitamin A may increase the chance of death and possibly cause other serious side effects. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Bitstream Charter,serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>Natural vitamin A supplements<\/b> are safe for pregnant women or women who are breastfeeding if taken in amounts recommended less than 10,000 units per day.

When larger than recommended amounts are taken, side effects can include irritability, sleep, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of consciousness, headache, visual problems, peeling skin, increased risk of pneumonia and other problems.
