What if the words “Whole Food” on your supplement containers didn’t really mean what they claimed? What if the picture of fresh fruits and vegetables on the label was just a misleading marketing ploy to attract legitimately health-minded consumers? After all, for individuals who choose to spend their money on natural food supplements, the phrase “Whole Food” being displayed on the packaging is likely one of the main reasons they will purchase the product. So, what does “food based”, “whole food”, or “natural ingredients” actually mean in legal terms when it comes to nutritional supplements - can we really be sure that “whole food” supplements are free from synthetic, isolated, or chemical vitamins?

Vitamins, vitamins, vitamins. Whether we get them from our daily diet, from sunshine, or from store bought capsules or liquids, vitamins are vital to our health and to the proper functioning of our bodies.

Indeed, under certain circumstances (such as with immuno-deficiency diseases) vitamin regimens have shown to be at least temporarily helpful in relieving certain symptoms, similar to the way we use some drug administrations. What we haven't been told is that large doses of synthetic vitamins, as recommended by many in the health industry, can become overwhelmingly toxic to our bodies.
