1. Unique Chemical Structures: Nutrients from food have structures that often can't be replicated by synthetic vitamins. In many cases, leads to diminished absorption of that nutrient.
2. Synergy: Even when structures can be replicated, synthetic nutrients are delivered as individual, isolated compounds, whereas nutrients from food are delivered alongside other chemicals, co-factors, or macronutrients that significantly enhance that nutrient's absorption and potency.
3. Side by side studies: Dozens of side-by-side studies studies fail to show the health benefits of multivitamins compared to those exact nutrients delivered from foods.
