Natural Multivitamin: Body's Own Nutrients
Multivitamins contain vitamins and minerals that, when it comes to a quality product, are well absorbed by the body. The body recognises them as 'body's own'. (Natural Multi)
The following multivitamins provide vitamins and minerals in the form of a natural food base: Royal Green Multi Woman & Royal Green Multi Man,
Natural Multivitamin - Additional Information
Some nutrients have a synthetic variant that behaves differently in the body compared to the natural variant. Beta-carotene and vitamin E are well-known examples of this. Our bodies only benefit from the natural variants of these nutrients. Vitamin C, on the other hand, is recognised by the body as a useful nutrient in all cases, even when synthesised in a laboratory.
Natural multivitamins contain minerals that should always be bound to a carrier. There are inorganic carriers (such as oxide and carbonate) and organic carriers (citric acid, amino acids, etc.). Some mineral compounds are absorbed better than others. Additionally, some compounds, especially the inorganic ones, can cause unwanted side effects. Quality products, therefore, contain mineral compounds known for their good absorption and lack of unwanted side effects. Nutritional supplements based on orthomolecular nutrition are particularly renowned for their excellent mineral compounds and natural forms of vitamin E, beta-carotene, etc.
With superior products like those from Vitaminstore, the label always lists the carriers used. This is often stated in brackets after the mineral, for example, "iron (as bisglycinate)". If only the mineral is listed and the carrier is difficult to ascertain, it is likely the manufacturer has included cheap, poorly absorbable mineral compounds and synthetic vitamins in the product. This is especially true for very cheap products. The price may be lower, but it is essentially money wasted. Therefore, read carefully to ensure the Natural Multivitamin is effective.
