Oil vs. Dry or Water-Soluble
The oil-soluble vitamins, such as A, D, E, and K, are available and advisable in “dry” or water-soluble form for people who tend to get upset stomachs from oil, for acne sufferers or anyone with a skin condition where oil ingestion is not advised, and for dieters who have cut most of the fat from their meals.(Fat-soluble vitamins need fat for proper assimilation. If you’re on a low-fat diet and taking A, D, E, or supplements, I suggest you use the dry form.)
Synthetic vs. Natural and Inorganic vs. Organic
Synthetic vitamins might be less likely to upset your budget but not your stomach.
When I’masked if there’s a difference between synthetic and natural vitamins, I usually say only one—and that’s to you. Though synthetic vitamins and minerals have produced satisfactory results, the benefits from natural vitamins, on a variety of levels, surpass them. Chemical analysis of both might appear the
same, but there’s more to natural vitamins because there’s more to those substances in nature.
Synthetic vitamin C is just that, ascorbic acid and nothing more....
