INFORMATION ABOUT VITAMINS
Here is a definition of vitamins. Further down on this page you find a presentation of products to maintain good health and prevent ailments.
About vitamins and their function in the body
All natural vitamins are organic food substances found only in living things,
that is, plants and animals. With few exceptions the body cannot manufacture or
synthesize vitamins. They must be supplied in the diet or in dietary
supplements. Vitamins are essential to the normal functioning of our bodies.
They are necessary for our growth, vitality, and general well-being. A lot of
people think vitamins can replace food. They cannot. In fact, vitamins cannot be
assimilated without ingesting food. That is why we suggest taking them with a
meal. Vitamins help regulate metabolism, help convert fat and carbohydrates into
energy, and assist in forming bone and tissue. A word about RDA. The RDA was a
guideline established over 50 years ago to prevent scurvy and the like, but are
not necessarily enough for optimum health. More recently, a new measure called
the RDI, or Reference Daily Intake has been established by the FDA which does
support optimum health. But it's still a minimum guideline.
