Vitamins

[anthrax]

Can you rely on pills (multi vitamins) for your daily vitamins ?

Don't you think natyral vitamins, found in fruit for ex., are way better for you than synthetic vitamins ?
I'm not talking about quantity but quality
(ie vitamine E : synthetic (dl -alpha-tocopherol) is not as "efficient" as natural (d -alpha-tocopherol))

vitamins from food are great, but the pills allow you to get alot more vitamins in a lot less time

I see multivitamins as an insurance policy. Also, I consume fruits and vegetables throughout the day for fiber and the phytochemicals.

It's been proven that even though you eat a crap load of fruits and veggies you can still have great benefits of vitamins. But Anthrax is right about the natural vitamins like vitamin E, which is much more efficient.

I take a lot of multivits, and herbs. I feel great and look great for 30y old. what really is "natural" ? you have scientist experimenting with our foods, the ground which our foods come from is not life giving as it was years and years ago. there are a lot of chemicals in our foods today. Preservatives are used more than you think. I don't fully rely on multivits alone, I do eat my veggies. But the word "natural" is just a delusion.
