There are many different  types of <strong>vitamins</strong>; each of them has its own specific benefit to various  parts and functions of the human body. If the human body is afflicted  without the essential natural vitamins just for a short period of time,  it leads to disease and sickness as a result. Vitamins can help prevent  disease in two main ways: by preventing the deficiency syndromes of the  particular vitamin and through the health benefits conferred at the  expense of vitamin balance. As you know vitamin A is important for our  vision. It is also important for bone growth, reproduction, cell  division and cell differentiation. In the same way other natural  vitamins promote your health support.</p>
<p>There are two types of  vitamins:<br />
<strong>Water-Soluble</strong> &#8211; These vitamins (B and C  complex) do not tend to accumulate in our body organs and usually their  reserves depletion happens very quickly. As you can see it is very  important to have regular daily intakes of these vitamins.</p>
<p><strong>Fat-Soluble</strong> &#8211; Vitamins A, D, E and K stay in the body as they are accumulated in  the liver.</p>
<p>• <strong>Vitamin A</strong> is responsible for  vision, normal bone and tooth development, reproduction, skin health;  mitigate the risk of certain cancers.<br />
• <strong>Vitamin B</strong> complex maintains the central nervous system, is necessary for the  synthesis and breakdown of amino acids, essential to healthy skin;<br />
•  <strong>Vitamin C</strong> participates in collagen creation, builds up  blood vessels, skin, teeth and bones and rids the body of free  radicals.<br />
• <strong>Vitamin E</strong> – This is a strong antioxidant  that protects joints from free radicals, very important for healthy  skin.<br />
• <strong>Vitamin K</strong> – This vitamin assists with  mineral deposit into the bone matrix.</p>
<p>Today with natural  vitamins more is meant than meets the eye, for the first eye it seems  to be vitamins taken from natural products. But unfortunately that is  not so. It should seem these organic nutrients are in supply if we bring  to bear enough fresh fruit and vegetables. Due to the following  factors, it is not always possible for us to get the necessary vitamins  (even we eat enough of fresh fruit and vegetables): impoverished soil,  modern processing methods, pollution, and popularity of Junk food. So  with &#8220;natural vitamins&#8221; any type of qualitative vitamins is meant.</p>
<p>It  turns out that you can feel reliance in fresh fruit and vegetable only  if you know best where they were grown and how fresh are they. As an  alternative many people now have to take vitamin supplements. Sometimes  it is the optimum choice, but it is of primal importance to prefer good  vitamin complex. A good multivitamin is the foundation of health and  nutrition.</p>

<p>Whole foods are our best source of nutrition and provide the most complete sources of vitamins and minerals. We are nourished by eating whole foods because they contain the necessary proteins, fats, carbohydrates, fiber, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other micronutrients that our body needs for proper nourishment and optimal health. Unfortunately, most of us do not eat enough variety of whole, nutrient-dense foods for proper nutrition levels. Instead, our modern diets include too many processed foods that provide sub-standard levels of nutrients. These days, dietary supplementation is often needed to provide our nutritional requirements for optimum health and energy.</p>
<p><strong>The Complexity of Whole Food Vitamins and Dietary Supplements</strong></p>
<p><strong>Dietary supplements</strong> and vitamins made from whole foods contain not only recognized vitamins and minerals, but a whole symphony of other micronutrients (phytonutrients or phytochemicals) that work in concert with vitamins and minerals to orchestrate a natural harmony in our bodies. More than 25,000 different micronutrients, also known as cofactors, have been discovered in whole fruits and vegetables alone. These micronutrients are still being studied, but what we do know is that they not only provide additional nutritional support, they also enhance the effectiveness and absorption of other nutrients contained in whole foods.</p>
<p>An interesting study was conducted by researchers at the USDA’s Jean Mayer Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University in Boston. Two different age groups of men and women were fed a diet containing ten servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Then they measured the ‘antioxidant capacity’ of the participants’ blood samples by seeing how well the blood deactivated damaging oxidized free radicals in a test tube. After two weeks, the antioxidant capacity of the participants’ blood rose in both groups, though more consistently in the older people. Based on this and other studies, it appears that compounds other than vitamins C and E and carotenoids contribute a major portion of the increase in antioxidant capacity.</p>
<p><strong>The Power of Fermentation and Probiotic Cultures</strong></p>
<p>We understand that <strong>dietary supplements</strong> created from whole foods provide a more complex source of nutrition than isolated supplements created in a lab. So, what happens when we incorporate a probiotic fermentation process to whole food nutritional ingredients?</p>
<p>I am sure we have all heard of Captain Cook’s remedy for scurvy on his ships. Due to the lack of fresh produce on long voyages, he would require all his sailors to eat sauerkraut, which is fermented cabbage. Scurvy is caused by a vitamin C deficiency; by fermenting cabbage, the Vitamin C levels of the cabbage are increased.</p>
<p>The power of the fermentation and culturing process is due to the additional nutrients that are created by the activated bacteria. By culturing live, whole foods in probiotics (healthy, beneficial, naturally occurring bacteria), a synergy of health promoting compounds is created. Those compounds produce much greater results than the sum of the individual whole food nutritional ingredients. According to Dr. Richard Sarnat, M.D., co-author of “The Life Bridge: The Way to Longevity with Probiotic Nutrients,” <em>&#8220;These (cultured) nutrients promote the health of the entire digestive system. It&#8217;s the process of fermentation that unlocks all these wonderful nutrients.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>In her book, “Nourishing Traditions,” author Sally Fallon, further explains the benefits of the lacto-fermentation process: <em>&#8220;Like the fermentation of dairy products, preservation of vegetables and fruits by the process of lacto-fermentation has numerous advantages beyond those of simple preservation. The proliferation of lactobacilli (probiotics) in fermented vegetables enhances their digestibility and increases vitamin levels. These beneficial organisms produce numerous helpful enzymes as well as antibiotic and anticarcinogenic substances. Their main by-product, lactic acid, not only keeps vegetables and fruits in a state of perfect preservation but also promotes the growth of healthy flora throughout the intestine.”</em></p>
<p><strong>Summary</strong></p>
<p>By supplementing our diets with cultured, whole food <strong>vitamins and supplements</strong>, we are able to provide our bodies with the complexity of nutrients missing from our modern diets, delivered in a cultured, whole food form that our bodies recognize and utilize efficiently. Nutrients from isolated vitamins and supplements are not adequate for our dietary requirements because they lack the cofactors and micronutrients needed and are not recognized by our bodies as food.<br />
As a Clinical Nutritionist, I recommend my clients and customers eat a whole food, natural diet and use cultured, whole food <strong>vitamins</strong> and dietary supplements for optimal health. I am impressed with nutrition companies such as Garden of Life, Mt. Capra, and New Chapter, because they follow these health promoting principles of using only whole food ingredients and a culturing probiotic process in their vitamin and supplement formulas.</p>

<p>People need dietary supplements for a variety of reasons. Bodybuilders, for example, would need supplements to aid muscle buildup and strengthening of muscles such as concentrated protein, glutamine, creatine and weight gain powders. Athletes take in supplements to optimize or enhance their performance.</p>
<p>People with illnesses often require <strong>dietary supplements</strong> such as concentrated iron for anemia. And those on a diet also take supplements to ensure they get the required amount of minerals, <strong>vitamins</strong>, amino acids, herbs, enzymes and other nutrients. Most however take supplements for optimum overall health. A lot of people also take them to relieve stress and to boost their energy.</p>
<p>What are dietary supplements and how are they different from medicines and over-the-counter drugs?</p>
<p>The Congress in the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, which was enacted into law in 1994, defines dietary supplements or nutritional supplements as supplements to the diet. These supplements contain one or more ingredients or their constituents. These are taken orally in the form of liquid, capsule, pill or tablet and are labeled as dietary supplement in the packaging.</p>
<p>Dietary supplements come in different forms, thus the confusion with over-the-counter drugs. The market is flooded with different types and forms of supplements such as capsules, tablets, drinks, energy bars and powders. Most can be purchased even without a prescription. They are available in drug stores, supermarkets, grocery stores, natural food stores, merchandise retailers and in health stores. One can even buy supplements on line. In order to distinguish these supplements from over-the-counter drugs, always read the Supplement Facts label.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, most of these dietary supplements are not regulated. Unlike with drugs, the US Food and Drugs Administration does not check the safety and effectiveness of supplements before they are sold to the public. In fact, the FDA only has authority over supplements once they have already entered the market. Usually, actions are taken by the FDA once a complaint against a certain brand has been received.</p>
<p>Many dietary supplements are guilty of false claims. Testimonials and so-called proofs of the efficiency and effectiveness of supplements abound in print, broadcast and on line media.</p>
<p>Worse, some are even unsafe. And so, extra precaution must be taken when choosing which dietary supplement to take. Always check with the manufacturer for more information. With the tons of promotional materials that abound, always be wary of the information being presented.</p>
<p>Keen in mind that dietary supplements are not intended to cure or prevent illnesses. In addition, although some supplements have beneficial effects, a significant number of them have potential health risks. Some supplements contain active ingredients that can have negative effects on the body, specially when taken in large doses and with other supplements and medicines. Supplementslike calcium, for example, interact with heart medicines like Digoxin, vitamin K counteracts with blood thinners etc.. In addition, too much intake of certain vitamins and minerals such as oil-soluble vitamin E and A, can be toxic to the body.</p>
<p>Pregnant women, nursing moms, those undergoing surgery and people with chronic illnesses should take extra care in deciding whether to take dietary supplements or not.</p>
<p>And so, when choosing supplements, it is always best to consult with a health care provider to avoid serious side effects. Remember, safety first!</p>
<p>The very first step is to undergo a nutritional assessment or evaluation with a health care provider. This will find out what your nutritional needs are and what dietary supplement is best suited to your medical condition.</p>
<p><strong>Dietary supplements</strong> are supplements and not are not meant to replace some of the food needed in a <strong>healthy daily diet</strong>. Thus, bear in mind that no supplement can ever replace a healthy diet.</p>
<p>Never assume that &#8220;natural&#8221; is always safe. Some natural ingredients, specially if taken in large doses, can interact with medicines and may even result to life-threatening situations.</p>
<p>In addition, there are certain considerations in purchasing dietary supplements such as the quality, availability, your nutritional needs and price.</p>
<p>On a final note, dietary supplements are meant to supplement the body&#8217;s nutritional needs. It can never replace the overall health benefits of regular exercise and a healthy diet. And in choosing supplementary diets, safety should always be the main consideration.</p></div>

In fact, dietary supplements or complements are taking more and more shelf space in the stores and theyre also available all over the internet.</p>
<p>What are the kinds of dietary complements to look for?</p>
<p>There are various kinds of dietary complements, namely mineral supplements and herbal supplements. Lets look at mainly dietary complement to be aware of when is it necessary.</p>
<p>Before we take a closer explore at <strong>dietary supplements</strong>. Lets first examine at a couple of the fat soluble vitamins. These are <strong>vitamin A, D, E and K</strong>. Since they are fat soluble, they are held in reserve in the body until they are required.</p>
<p>The role of <strong>Vitamin A</strong>.</p>
