Most people don’t get enough nutrients from diet alone. (1)
That's why more than half of Americans reportedly take a multivitamin daily to supplement their nutrition but, do the majority of vitamins really work? And what if they're actually harmful to your health? We'll explore these questions and more in this post.
What are synthetic vitamins?
Synthetic vitamins and minerals are made synthetically or artificially. The industry promotes synthetic vitamins as having the same benefits as their natural forms found in fruit and vegetables.
But, synthetic vitamins are isolated and fractionated which are completely different from what is found in nature. In nature, vitamins have cofactors that enhance absorption into the body. Synthetic vitamins lack these cofactors which makes them much more difficult to absorb. In fact, the body often pulls cofactors from the body’s storage to help with absorption of these artificial products which can lead to other nutrient depletions.

In addition to this, synthetic vitamins can actually have a toxic effect on the body. Several studies have shown that synthetic vitamins are not beneficial, and in some cases may even prove harmful.
A systematic review and meta-analysis published in the Journal of the American Medical Association stated that treatments with synthetic beta carotene, vitamin A, and vitamin E could actually increase the rate of mortality. (2) A re-analysis by the Women’s Health Initiative found that some synthetic calcium supplements actually increased the risk of a having a cardiovascular event. (3)

The process involved in creating synthetic supplements includes the use of industrial chemicals and solvents which are harmful to human health. Fat soluble vitamins such as vitamins A, E, D, and K, are especially harmful, as toxic build-up in fat is harder for the body to excrete. Synthetic vitamins that are not up taken by the body are usually removed via the liver, skin, or kidneys, putting additional strain on the body.
Although studies have shown that synthetic vitamins are not useful, micro nutrition is an absolutely essential part to one’s overall health and wellbeing. Good nutrition is the basis for a strong and healthy immune system. An inadequate intake of micronutrients can not only lead to fatigue and low energy, but it can also lead to serious diseases. (4,5)
In today’s environment, it is increasingly difficult to reach healthy micronutrient levels, and this has been recognized by the USDA. Micronutrient inadequacies are now common in the United States, with one study highlighting that young adults and women were at particularly high risk. (6,7)
On top of this, many scientists feel that the current micronutrient guidelines are actually too low, and may not meet the requirements of many individuals - especially those who are already ill.
