What are vitamin supplements made from?
Are they natural or just manufactured in a lab?
Wouldn't it be better just to eat the natural fruit and vegetables each day instead of pumping ourselves with these pills?

As long as you eat healthy balanced diet and focus on variety of food, and lab results shows normal values, you dont need supplements because the body can store some of then to large extent. and some of them is needed in small amount that can be achieved by healthy diet. for example most of us need 40-60 gm of vitamin C, Avergae orange contains 60 gm of vitamin c. any extra vitmain c taken into the body will be excreted with urine. moreover, some cases extra vitmian doses can be dangerous or toxic. 5 serving of fruits and vegetables can maintain normal vitamin status in healthy adults.

Seriously, until you start looking into the food-supplement scam you have no idea how much bollocks is being peddled with vitamin supplements, except in certain cases. The level of duplicity is at least equal to what a lot of people associate with Big Pharma! Seriously, unless you have a very specific deficiency or a spectacularly poor diet vitamin supplements are a total waste of money and may actually have deleterious effects.

For a society based on convenience this is irrelevant

I used to type the vitamin formulas - some are very good and use real dry powder forms of dried veggies and sometimes a rabbi comes and blesses the vitamins and makes the vitamins real blessed.

One thing to keep in mind. If you eat a healthy balanced diet, you will get the vit's you need. The body jusy expels (through bm or urine) any extra vit's you have in your system.
