How do “pure” vitamins, synthetic forms of vitamins compare with Natural forms of whole food?
In the 1930s, 1940s, vitamins were discovered and introduced to the human diet. Many of the original vitamins were manufactured from real food such as wheat germ, animal organs, and real fruits and vegetables. Most of these vitamins were all in the “d-” (Latin for dexter meaning right hand). These are the natural forms of vitamins. They usually still contain some of the supporting structures (minerals, starches, sugars, etc.).
