I have learned about 'raw' vitamins from my gastro-doctor ... now I NEVER purchase vitamins from Walmart or Walgreens', etc. Instead, I purchase vitamins that are natural from real food (no fillers, etc)...Standard Process is a great company and has benefited me and my health issues. My nutritionist, Becky, is the greatest with regard to health education and natural healing information.
Her website is:

In addition, I use enzymes to manage blood pressure...I am allergic to aspirin (plus aspirin may contribute to macular degeneration). I use Vitalzym and Cardio Vitalzym...
You can also purchase these supplements on Amazon, but I prefer to speak with Becky, a certified nutritionist, who is most knowledgeable and answers my questions. I can highly recommend her.
Are the vitamins you use actually made from food or plants? Or are they synthesized? Last time I researched vitamins (a few years ago) only two brands made vitamins with no synthetic vitamins at all, one was Rainbow Light (I think that was the name) and some were natural, some synthesized), and I can’t recall the other company. Non-synthesized vitamins do not have 100% of the RDA, or rarely. Anyway, I will be back tomorrow.
