To choose your vitamins, you should know that there are over 15 different kinds. They are generally classified into two groups: water soluble vitamins (soluble in water) and fat-soluble vitamins (soluble in fats). Their contributions are varied and require prior identification of your needs or your shortcomings. As part of a health check, a doctor can help in this research and offer you the vitamins are best suited to your profile.

To supplement your vitamin intake, you can choose between many solutions. The healthiest and least expensive is to vary your diet and eat lots of fresh fruit.
Vitamins are swarming in your plate

For input “natural” vitamin A, nothing better than carrots (raw or cooked), fresh chervil, apricot, spinach, pumpkin, lettuce, peppers, melons, tomatoes and pickle. The oil of cod livers of animals and dandelion are among the foods rich in vitamin A.

If you lean more to the vitamin B1, prefer dry yeast, baker’s yeast, wheat germ, eggs, fish, dried peas, beans, pork, walnuts, hazelnuts and lentils dry.

For a cure of vitamin C, turn readily to the broccoli, zucchini, strawberries, kiwi, papaya, red pepper, oranges, Brussels sprouts, black currants. A high vitamin C deficiency is the cause of scurvy, a disease disappeared in rich countries, but deadly.

Artificial inputs to meet your needs

Be aware that food-grade vitamins are guaranteed of industrial products which have been added vitamins destroyed by the process. Those “rich in vitamins” are virtually over: since June 1992. Only cereals, some lunches and chocolate biscuits for children have the right to be rich in vitamins, and the dose rarely exceeds 25% of recommended daily intake.
