Reuters - The World Bank on Wednesday unveiled a four-year strategy to fight HIV/AIDS in Africa that shifts focus from emergency response to long-term development.

One of the most common questions people ask is that who should take vitamins and why?

The answer to this is that it is recommended that everyone should take vitamin supplements since most of us do not take adequate amounts of fruits, vegetables and whole foods in our daily diet.

Nearly all of us are rushing against time and we do not have the patience to pick and choose the right type of food. So we land up taking a handful of vitamin pills thinking this would supplement our daily need for nutrients.

Yet if you stop and think for a while - is this pill popping habit doing us any good? According to conservative nutritionists the answer is a NO.

But they add with some consideration that if you do take whole food vitamins, take the natural ones instead of the synthetic pills, compiled in labs and marketed with pomp and glitter.

The question is what are natural whole food vitamins and why are they more beneficial over synthetic, lab-generated vitamins? Here are some pointers to clarify this question:

• As the name suggests, natural whole food vitamins are extracted from organic, animal and plant tissues. This means that the vitamins are sourced from fruits and vegetables which are grown in soils rich in minerals. They are grown without using any chemicals or pesticides and made without using any preservatives or additives.

  Thus the final supplement is made from this non-toxic, natural and concentrated whole food. If you consider an example: it is known that tomatoes are good for health buy bulk dimethylaminoethanol they are rich in Vitamins C and E. But to get your full quota of these vitamins you would have to eat nearly a dozen tomatoes everyday, which is not possible. So when naturally grown tomatoes are dehydrated and put in capsule form, you could get the benefits of the vitamins only by swallowing a few capsules of pure goodness.

• When whole food vitamin capsules are made from natural sources, they would contain the entire range of several vitamins and minerals along with several micro-nutrients. Incidentally all these work in a synergistic fashion to enhance the metabolic and absorptive processes.

• Synthetic vitamins on the other hand provide only part benefits. For instance, with natural vitamins, there are enzymes, antioxidants, trace elements and other activators which assist faster absorption by the body. But when the same vitamins are created synthetically in a lab, none of these catalysts can be recreated.

• Though there is still no evidence that synthetic vitamins can bring any damage to the body, but it is a buy bulk branch chain amino acids that most of the synthetically made nutrients are lost since the body can not absorb them.
• Synthetic vitamins look more attractive when displayed on store shelves as they are not only attractively packaged but also cost less than natural whole food vitamins. But does buying a cheap product make sense, if more than half of it is not even used by the body?

• The artificial coloring and flavors added to synthetic vitamins may make it look and smell buy deaner but have you considered the damage or allergic reactions these additives can cause?
