of vitamins B and C. So, when you take a vitamin pill, most of the water soluble
vitamins are simply flushed down the toilet. You might as well just eliminate the
middleman and flush your money right down the toilet!
Another problem with vitamin pills is that they often use synthetic versions of
vitamins that can actually be unhealthy. For example, the forms of vitamin E that
are found in pills can be either d-alpha tocopherol (a natural version) and dl-alpha
tocopherol (a synthetic version). First of all, the bioavailability of synthetic vitamin
E is much lower than natural vitamin E. In addition, I’ve seen many studies cited
that indicated that there could be potential health dangers with taking synthetic
vitamin E. Once again, we get back to the fact that natural is always better than
something that has been heavily modified by man.
The bottom line is that as long as you eat a balanced diet full of a good variety of
fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains, legumes, meats, dairy, eggs, etc.,
you will obtain all the nutrients your body needs to operate efficiently without the
need for a manmade vitamin/mineral pill.
Exercise is obviously very important for losing body fat and building a strong, lean
body, but always remember that proper nutrition is even more important. A lousy
diet means a flabby, unhealthy body, regardless of how often someone works out.
