1. Nutrients from food demonstrate superior absorption due to their unique chemical structures that cannot be replicated by synthetic vitamins.
2. Synthetic nutrients are delivered as isolated compounds, whereas nutrients from food come with additional chemicals, co-factors, and macronutrients that enhance absorption and potency.
3. Numerous side-by-side studies have failed to demonstrate the health benefits of multivitamins compared to nutrients obtained from food.
It's important to note that most multivitamins, including prenatal ones, are composed primarily of these synthetic nutrients.
