Synthetic:  Drug Store Variety (plastic lemon)

• Man-made
• No Enzymes (necessary for life – like the life force in a seed, aids nutrient metabolism)
• Inorganic Substances, Artificial Colors, Flavors, & Sweeteners

 
Synthetic vitamins are like an image in a mirror, they look like the real thing but they don’t function like the real thing.

• Stimulant (short term)
• Imbalanced
• Side Effect
• Harsh Binders and Fillers
• Many are coated with shellac which is nearly totally resistant to the penetration of stomach fluids
