Myths about Autumn vitamins

There are several myths that prevent the fall vitaminization to be done fully and intelligently.

Myth 1. Why take vitamins in Autumn? We have had enough vegetables and fruit during the summer.

The body requirements of vitamins in vary from season to season. In autumn and winter we need more vitamins for the support of the immune system. In addition, the season of fresh fruits and vegetables ends. Fortunately, some vitamins are accumulated in the body, so doctors recommend to undergo intensive course of vitamins twice a year: in the spring and in the fall. Fall vitaminization allows stocking vitamins, and serves to prevent the common cold, autumn and winter depression.

Myth 2. Vitaminization is required only for children, the elderly or ill people.

Even the young, full of power women may have a serious lack of vitamins. In fact, taking oral contraceptives greatly reduces the absorption of vitamins. That is why doctors identify women as having the risk of avitaminosis and strongly recommend autumn course of vitamin therapy. Increased demand for vitamins also have people who are in stress situations, athletes, smokers, as well as those who frequently consume alcohol.

Myth 3. Vegetable sources are incomplete, insufficient to intensive vitaminization. You should use pharmacies complexes.
Using fresh vegetables and fruits to vitaminizate has its advantages. First, you get vitamins in their natural form, together with the necessary materials for their digestion. Secondly, vitamins in foods are completely and gradually absorbed, as the food digests. Unlike vegetable sources, many pills literally are "shooting" with vitamins, their concentration is so high, that only a part of them are digested. Thirdly, plant food activates intestinal functionality, which in itself is important for the health.

Myth 4.The pharmacy vitamins are synthetic vitamins. Taking vitamin complexes brings harm.

The "pharmacies" and "vegetable" vitamin molecules are absolutely identical. Therefore, in the absence of plant sources of vitamin their fellow pharmacists are the right alternative (i.e, late autumn and winter, when fresh vegetables and fruits are not available).
