How To Find Organic Non GMO Vitamins

By Olivia Cross


The dietary supplement industry brings in millions of dollars every year. As the demand for natural health products grows, more companies enter the field. Consumers need to choose clean, effective products or they will waste their money and, in some cases, endanger their health. Choosing organic non GMO vitamins over simply natural or synthetic ones is a good way to get the best products on the market.

The organic seal ensures that a vitamin product is food-based. This means that the raw materials come from organically-certified foods. Vitamin C, for instance, will be derived from citrus fruits, berries, or other plant sources rather than from laboratory-made ascorbic acid, another usable form of this nutrient. Nothing with the organic label will legally be synthetic. In contrast, many brands include synthetic forms of vitamins; these substances appear the same under a microscope but often don't function as well as natural vitamins in the body.

Among other things, the organic certification guarantees that there are no genetically modified raw materials in the product. Most manufacturers also want to make sure consumers know that their products are GMO-free, so they will put this information on the label. There is an industry-approved symbol for GMO-free products that consumers are beginning to recognize.

Unfortunately, in America the natural and all-natural designation no longer is an assurance of a product free from genetically modified ingredients. Large multinational corporations have spent millions to make sure this kind of questionable ingredient is legally allowed. Much of Europe has banned the genetic alteration of foods.

The safety of genetically modified foods has not been established. Although people and animals won't die from eating them, researchers fear that long-term use may cause problems and endanger the health of future generations. The results of early studies are causing concern among many health experts.

This delayed reaction was observed in bees exposed to crops treated with systemic pesticides. Adult bees feeding on such plants did not die, so manufacturers claimed them to be safe. However, the third generation of bees used to pollinate crops every year died out in what was called the 'empty hive mystery', and many commercial beekeepers lost their livelihoods.This led countries like France to ban the use of systemic pesticides. Their bee populations are recovering.

Consumers who care about health food and truly natural supplements should spend their money on quality products from manufacturers who support the integrity of the industry. Some companies care only about profits and depend more on imitation and false advertising than quality control. By buying organically-certified and GMO-free products, consumers can get the most for their money, get the health benefits they want, and support committed manufacturers.

These days, when fewer can grow their own food or find all they need from local organic farmers, consumers buy vitamins to improve their health and fill gaps in their diets. They want pure, truly natural products they can depend on and that are worth the purchase price. For the assurance of purity and quality, look for the organic and GMO-free labels on all supplements.
