  • Beta Carotene Is The Safe Form Of Vitamin A  By :
    The fact that beta carotene is stated to be a safe form of vitamin A suggests that vitamin A is in some way unsafe. In fact an overdose of vitamin A can lead to any one of a number of conditions, including nausea, jaundice, vomiting, abdominal pain and headaches.

  • One Can Not Survive With Out Essential Vitamins Such As Natural Vitamin C As Nature Intended  By :
    Vitamin C is an essential building block for our cells and our selves, so why don't our organs produce it? It is theorized that mutations in the evolution process caused humans to lose their ability to create ascorbic acid. While there is no clear explanation why humans no longer have the ability to create vitamin C, at some point in our evolution the ability ceased to be. If humans were able to maintain the necessary levels of vitamin C without depending on nutritional sourc...

  • Vitamin E: Take It Or Leave It?  By : Linda Polansky
    When some evidence suggested that taking vitamin E supplements helped protect you from developing heart disease and Alzheimer’s, these supplements became very popular. Because vitamin E helps thin the blood and also keeps cholesterol in the blood from sticking together to form plaque, it was thought that it could help prevent heart disease. Some studies have shown some promise in this area, though only among already healthy people. It doesn’t seem to have any threat reducing ...

  • Making Vitamins Plain And Simple  By : Yvonne Volante

  • The Next Vitamins  By : Mark Ransome -
    Vitamins A, C, E and quasi-vitamins Coenzyme Q10 and alpha lipoic acid are powerful antioxidants that neutralize the damage caused by free radicals and oxidation. Our body's cells are undergoing a continuous cycle of oxidation (losing an electron) and reduction (gaining an electron).
