The divine gift of nature cannot be replaced by human intelligence. It is beyond comprehension that is why no living organism can be formed successfully in a laboratory. Cloning is still difficult for the scientists. This mystery of life has remained unresolved proving that nature can only create living things and living beings.
For normal human metabolism the body requires micronutrients known as vitamins. These vitamins are not manufactured by the body but are obtainable in the natural food stuffs we consume. Vitamins do not provide energy like fats, carbohydrates and some proteins; but perform certain vital functions required by the body to prevent disease and maintain good health. Vitamins are divided into two common categories of fat-soluble types and water-soluble types. There are four fat soluble and nine water soluble types of vitamins.

The vitamin we consume daily in the shape of supplements and prepared foods are synthetic and naturally occurring. Out of this, almost 95 per cent are synthetic and some are a combination of one or more naturally occurring vitamin ingredients combined with synthetic vitamins. Vitamin supplements produced from only naturally occurring food and botanicals is rare and only some vitamin manufacturers produce such products. These vitamin supplements contain no synthetic vitamin or nutrients. Most of the vitamin products found in food stores, drug stores and retail outlets packaged as tablets, capsules, gel caps or powders are synthetic vitamin supplement.
Some vitamins are a combination of natural and synthetic ingredients. Many of the multiple vitamin products use a natural base amalgamated with several synthetic vitamins to achieve their potency. Mnay vitamins are also produced with the help of yeasts. These products are a blending of yeast or algae to create a base and add synthetic vitamins to make a product. Though the manufacturers label these supplements as 'natural', for being derived from yeast or algae; they are not natural since synthetic vitamins or nutrients have been added.
Vitamin supplements originating from natural food and botanical sources are actually vitamin potency supplement products, and can be identified as naturally occurring. Naturally, occurring vitamins have relatively lower potency than synthetic vitamins, but are actually more effective compared to the latter. The human body can take up the nutrients easily of naturally occurring vitamins without any toxic side effects of synthetic vitamins. The natural vitamin fights with the disease more effectively. The primarymain function of vitamins is to strengthen the immune system of the human body, without which the body is exposed to various ailments and diseases. Synthetic vitamins with their toxic side effects shall not be able to fortify the human body. Therefore, low potency naturally occurring vitamins are preferred to the high potency synthetic vitamins produced by vitamin manufacturers.
