Adakah anda kisah tentang pemakanan tambahan yang anda ambil? Adakah anda pernah berfikir yang “Alah, sama aje vitamin Shaklee atau yang beli dari mana-mana farmasi/pembekal”. Adakah anda mengambil tahu tentang sesuatu vitamin tersebut – NATURAL atau SINTETIK?
Anda mungkin patut fikir banyak kali sekarang. Di sini saya ingin kongsikan fakta tentang vitamin sintetik:
Synthetic Vitamins Versus Food Grown Vitamins
From Dr. Robert J. Thiel, Ph.D., N.M.D., The Truth About Vitamins in Supplements, American Naturopathic Medical Association Monitor, June 2003, vol. 7 No. 2#
| Vitamin | Food Nutrient* | ‘Natural’ Vitamin Analogue & Some Process Chemicals |

| Vitamin B-1 | Nutritional yeast, rice bran | Coal tar derivatives, hydrochloric acid; acetonitrole with ammonia |
| Vitamin B-2 | Nutritional yeast, rice bran | Synthetically produced with 2N acetic acid |
| Vitamin B-3 | Nutritional yeast, rice bran | Coal tar derivatives, 3-cyanopyridine; ammonia and acid |
| Vitamin B-5 | Nutritional yeast, rice bran | Condensing isobutyraldehyde with formaldehyde |
| Vitamin B-6 | Nutritional yeast, rice bran | Petroleum ester & hydrochloric acid with formaldehyde |

| Vitamin ‘B-x’ | PABA Nutritional yeast | Coal tar oxidized with nitric acid (from ammonia) |
| Choline | Nutritional yeast, rice bran | Ethylene and ammonia with HCL or tartaric acid |
| Vitamin C | Acerola cherries, citrus fruits | Hydrogenated sugar processed with acetone |
| Vitamin D | Nutritional yeast | Irradiated animal fat/cattle brains or solvently extracted |

Most vitamins in supplements are petroleum extracts, coal tar derivatives, and chemically processed sugar (plus sometimes industrially processed fish oils), with other acids and industrial chemicals (such as formaldehyde) used to process them. Synthetic vitamins were originally developed because they cost less. Most synthetic, petroleum-derived, supplements will call their products ‘vegetarian not because they are from plants, but because they are not from animals. Also beware; they will use the words “Food Based” another trick. It means they added a green product to the synthetics such as algae.

Urgh… horrible! Tidak hairanlah jika ramai yang pernah mengalami kesan sampingan akibat pengambilan vitamin… vitamin sintetik! Lihat saja sumbernya dalam kolum ketiga. Siap ada formalin lagi (pengawet mayat).
Jadi berhati-hatilah bila anda mengambil keputusan untuk mengamalkan pemakanan vitamin. Jangan tertipu dan terkeliru dengan label vitamin yang kononnya dari tumbuhan. Pastikan yang anda ambil adalah vitamin berasaskan makanan sebenar – vitamin natural!
Shaklee adalah supplement natural
