Vitamins are essential for the maintenance of a healthy body. Vitamins are not naturally occurring within our bodies, they nevertheless play an utmost important role in human growth, metabolism and development of our body and mind.

Folate, or folic acid (pteroylmonoglutamic acid) is a type of Vitamin B. It is present in various vegetables, soy, fruit & whole grains food.

Vitamin Supplements are nutrients that are made artificially and cannot prevent disease. They only contain certain nutrients from plant, and overdosing can cause side effects. Whereas Complete food has no side effects, but rich in phytonutrients, antioxidants, polysaccharides and other nutrients, which are good for boosting immune system.

Many experts believe that wholesome food is the best source of nutrition. A diet rich in vegetables, fruits and other plant food can reduce risk of cancer.

Too much vitamin A may cause osteoporosis, excessive fatigue, and liver damage; vitamin B overdose can lead to paralysis and depression while Vitamin C overdose can lead to heart and liver disease, vitamin D can lead to permanent damage to your kidneys, and finally, vitamin D overdose can cause weariness and fatigue, and a slow immune system response.

Vitamins and minerals in plants are linked synergistically and is in wholesome form. Hence, your body is able to digest and absorb these wholesome vitamins easily. However, once these vitamins are extracted and turned into synthetic vitamins, it is no longer a complete food. Its original balance is destroyed and turned into a chemical substance, which may cause side effects. For instance, vitamin C acts as an antioxidant in an orange, but turns into free radicals when it is extracted from orange.
