Nourish your body with vitamins made from real foods.

We all know that food is the best way to get the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients we need—whether it’s vitamin A from sweet potatoes, iron from spinach, or vitamin C from a grapefruit. But to boost immunity or make up for a less-than-perfect diet, many of us turn to supplements. The problem is, most supplements are made with chemically synthesized vitamins and minerals that are often not absorbed effectively by the body.
Food-based supplements
Now, however, there’s a new generation of supplements made with real food (like lemons, spinach, carrots, and berries) that’s fermented in probiotic cultures (like Lactobacillus acidophilus and yeast) before being pressed into tablet form. Unlike their synthetic counterparts, these supplements contain “a complete whole food complex that includes phytonutrients and enzymes,” says Taryn Forrelli, N.D., director of medical education for New Chapter supplements. “Your body recognizes the supplement as food, so the nutrients are easier to absorb.”
