For many people, vitamins do not mean anything, it's just that everyone knows from school that vitamins are useful and they are found in almost all food products. Only then, when women become mothers, do they get more information about vitamins, as they play an extremely important role for women's health, and for pregnant women, and, of course, for small children, vitamins are extremely important. But if you figure it out, it turns out that Vitamins it is not just an important component of food, it is practically the catalyst of all chemical processes in the body, without many vitamins important life processes that occur in the human body are not possible. If we are talking about the most widespread vitamin in nature - vitamin C, then it is he who allows at least two thousand chemical reactions to take place in the body, although there are many isomers of vitamin C, and not all of them have the same importance for the human body.
There is an opinion that vitamins from greens and fruits are much more useful than in tablets. As studies show, this is true. But you should not believe that tableted vitamins are obtained synthetically, they are obtained from the same fruits, vegetables, and other organic products, only isomers, that is, modified vitamins that can be less active than natural ones. But do not forget that vitamins also have antivitamins, that is, ordinary vitamins can change their structure under various influences and become useless, and in some cases even dangerous. For example, if you take an ordinary apple and cut it in half, it will turn dark.
At school, they explained that this happens because the iron in the apple reacts with the oxygen in the air, and the iron oxidizes. But not only iron reacts with oxygen in fruits, but also vitamins, including primarily Vitamin C., which is an acid, and therefore reacts with oxygen with the greatest activity. Therefore, it is recommended to eat apples and fruits whole, without cutting them, and especially not to store them in the air for a long time, since the benefits of vitamins are gradually lost, vitamins simply turn into antivitamins. As for vitamins in tablets, they have a positive medical effect, but they are most often recognized as isomers of those vitamins that are found in fruits, vegetables, meat, greens. Therefore, the activity of tableted vitamins may differ from natural vitamins, and to achieve the desired result, you will have to spend much more money on vitamin complexes than simply buying cheap, but useful food with vitamins.
