The need for vitamins, perhaps, is clear to everyone. Many believe that vitamins can indeed help in the prevention of cancer, atherosclerosis, prevent the conversion of nitrates into the body into toxic substances, and much more. Therefore, people, in the pursuit of health, which, in their opinion, are able to provide vitamins thoughtlessly buy them in pharmacies, without even thinking about whether they buy miraculous drugs. But really, what criteria should be followed when choosing vitamins?
- Vitamin Composition
Vitamin producing companies, as a rule, are based on market demands, on fashion for certain components, voiced by doctors, as well as on the cheapness of raw materials. So, a significant part of the B vitamins is quite cheap, so manufacturers are not stingy to add them to the composition of any complex. More expensive vitamins are present in the general composition, as a rule, in very small doses.
- "Natural" vitamins
"Natural" is the favorite word of vitamin producers. However, all this is far from the truth. Any pharmacist will tell you that there is no difference between artificial and natural vitamins.
- Vitamin Digestibility
Pills coated with natural resin are very difficult to absorb by the human body. Naturally coated vitamins dissolve in just 30 minutes.
- Vitamin regimen
In order to avoid overdose, experts recommend purchasing vitamins that must be taken once a day.
- Shelf Life of Vitamins
To date, vitamins have not developed expiration standards. Manufacturers, placing a conditional shelf life on the box, indicate it at their discretion.
- What vitamins to buy?
Experts recommend purchasing products from well-known companies that have a good reputation in the pharmaceutical market.
