What are vitamins?
In order to maintain our life, we need vitamins either in natural foods or in tablets/capsules.
Simply put, the vitamins are organic compounds necessary for life. Vitamins are essential for normal body functioning, and - with few exceptions - the body can not produce them. Essential for the growth, vitality, and it occurs in foods in very small quantities naturally.
Do not forget that these additional materials, which are available in the form of capsules, liquids, powders or injections, these originate also from food, and unless they have been produced synthetically, plant or animal origin. P >
Where are vitamins from?
The most basic vitamins extracted from natural materials.
Since the vitamins are natural substances found in food, that supplements that you take from capsules, pills, powders or liquids, that originate also from the food. Although many vitamins can be synthesized, but most of them are produced from natural materials.
Example: usually the vitamin A is produced from the oil of fish livers. Vitamin B-complex derived from yeast or liver. Vitamin C is extracted from rose-hips. The vitamin E is produced usually from soya, maize or wheat-germ.
Oils, solid or water-soluble forms
The fat-soluble vitamins as A, D, E and vitamin K, are available in "dry" or water-soluble form also, and is advisable for whose stomach doesn't tolerate oil, for spotty or greasy-skinned people, and who are on a fat-eliminated diet. (For the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins fat is needed. Anyone who takes low-fat diet, and wants to take A, D, E and K vitamins, I suggest that you take a dry form.)
Chelating, and what does it mean?
The chelating is the process, which makes the minerals digestable. The common mineral supplements, like bone-meal and dolomite, are often not chelated. In order the body use them during digestion, thats have to be chelated. This natural chelating takes place inefficiently in the body of many people, and therefore the not chelated mineral supplements have little benefit to take.
If you think that your body does not use up all that is taken from the food, that most have not effective digest, that the absorbtion of inorganic iron is only the 2-10% of the actual, and the half of this small amount is excreted, then you certainly understand the importance of the modified form of chelated minerals. The chelate-formed mineral supplements are absorbed 3-10-times better than non-chelated form, and it really worths a small additional cost.
The delaying
The big step in the production of vitamins is the introduction of products in delayed or countinously absorbed forms (retard). In these preparations vitamins are closed in so-called micro-pellets, and then mixed with a special substrate, which allows a 6-20 hours, slow absorption. Most of the vitamin are water-soluble and as such can not be stored in the body. Without delay is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream, and no matter how big it was, it excretes with the urine in 2-3 hours.
The delayed preparations give optimal efficiency and minimal loss, and guarantee a stable, reliable blood levels around the clock.
