Are artificial vitamins as good as natural ones?

1. The basic values of artificial vitamins
However, this is not an argument. In order to resolve the doubts, we need to look at both chemically and take into account specific scientific studies. Fruits and vegetables almost always contain a wider range of micro- and macronutrients that interact with each other, often in a synergistic way. Those promoting the superiority of supplements claim that their bioavailability is the same because they have the same chemical structure However, the bioa availability of a particular ingredient is not solely dependent on its chemical structure. Most of them are characterized by the ability to synthesize organic compounds that do not absorb the same substances.2.

Human studies show that vitamin C in food is absorbed into enterocytes 1.74 times more than isolated ascorbic acid, and other studies have shown that it absorbs more into plasma.3.

Vitamin K3 is not naturally occurring and can only be produced in a laboratory, and fortunately it is not used in supplements. We now know that vitamin K3, sometimes called menadion, should not be used as an active form of vitamin K because it causes anemia and hyperbilirubinemia.4.

Similar studies have also shown that the vitamin A complex found in food is about 1.5 times more absorbable, showing less toxicity at the same time. Animal studies show that synthetic vitamin A reduces the elimination of vitamin E, but this effect has not been demonstrated when consuming naturally occurring vitamin A.
