Does vitamins work?

Question

I want to take a vitamin supplement but I read that they aren't FDA approved so does that mean there is a chance that it doesn't work and it's better to just get vitamins from food? If so what is the best vitamin supplement brand to take?

Answer

Vitamins are actually really important. Our foods just don't give us the vitamins we need anymore due to rushed harvests, importing, and the time it sits in the truck. There are many vitamins that are FDA approved but you probably won't find them at Walmart or walgreens. Look for more organic vitamins like Nutrilite
(Www. Amway.com/Ebersviller). The daily vitamin and the iron are what your body needs. Otherwise look at GNC for a prenatal vitamin and ask if it truly is FDA approved. Or ask your dr or midwife for a good recommendation. 
Good luck in your search! I hope you find something that works. Message me if you have more questions.

Answer

It's always best to get them from a food source because sometimes your body has trouble absorbing certain vitamins in their raw form. Supplements are meant exactly as they say...to supplement things you may not get enough of from food itself. But if you have the option for good food, it's always best to try to get as much as possible from that, and use the supplements as a way to try & fill any nutritional gaps. Generally when something isn't fda approved, it means the quality and quantity of what they put on the bottle isn't necessarily right, or reliably steady. So each pill could have varying amounts of the ingredients and/or poor quality ingredients. You basically rely on the company itself to be running their own checks and providing you with an accurate product.
