What is in a Vitamin?

Most chemists define a vitamin as any isolated part of nutrient. They do not distinguish a natural from synthetic vitamin because the molecular structure appears similar. Chemists fail to accurately compare synthetics to natural supplements by overlooking four main elements: hormones, oxygen content, photochemical levels and enzymes. All these work synergistically to keep the cells invigorated and so become just as important as the vitamins and minerals themselves. Synthetic vitamins are pure chemical compounds not created by nature. This controversy has been looming between natural and synthetic vitamins for nearly 80 years.

The last two decades, Hippocrates Health Institute has been conducting an ongoing experiment, indicating that the blood of over 11,000 guests taking synthetic supplements show little to no absorption or retention of the synthetic vitamins. The cells of these guests repeatedly show serious vitamin and nutrient deficiency. Yet by the end of a three-week stay on the Life Change Program participants make dramatic improvements. The program consists of a strictly organic and raw whole-food diet, including natural vitamins made from whole foods.
