Natural Vitamins are Best - By: Mary Smith, Posted on: 2007-05-03

Foodies and farmers both know it. However, not enough other people are aware that though it is simple to purchase vitamin supplements, for most people it is far better to get our recommended dose of vitamins from natural sources.

Today, many folks do not get enough natural vitamins through their diet, and often those people suffer a vitamin deficiency as a result. Surely you have heard the refrain: eating a balanced, healthy diet is the key to getting the right amount of vitamins into your body.

Some chosen diets, such as vegetarian, provide a limited number of natural vitamins and therefore a supplement may be the best option. It can be time consuming and complicated for some special dieters to get the foods they need, in the ratios that are best, from natural sources. But for most diets, food can provide all you need!

A key to success in doing so, is to learn about the different types of vitamins, and where they can be naturally sourced. With that knowledge, it will be much easier to incorporate the vitamins you need into your daily diet. Some vitamins are water soluble, and cannot be stored by the body, so they must be replenished every day. Learning about the various vitamins doesn't take long, and once you do, you will find it easier to find natural sources in many of the foods you already have in your household. Ready? Here are some of the most widely available sources for vitamins:

* Natural vitamin B4 sources can include egg yolks, legumes, organ meats, brewer’s yeast, wheat germ, soybeans, fish.

* Natural vitamin B1 sources can include brewer’s yeast, brown rice, whole grains, organ meats, egg yolk, blackstrap molasses

* Natural vitamin B3 sources can include potatoes, peanuts, brewer’s yeast, poultry & fish, lean meats, milk, rice bran
