Both health food experts and farmers know that vitamins don’t only come in bottles. Our modern marketing and consumerism machines try to get us to believe that vitamin supplement pills are the only answer, but we all know the truth: natural sources are better.

Many people do not eat proper, balanced diets, and suffer from vitamin deficiency. However, rather than looking for a solution in a bottle, nutritionists recommend people begin eating more healthful foods to get the range of vitamins their bodies need.

For those on special diets, it may be true that supplements are the best option, as some diets make it difficult to get the right nutrients in the right amounts all the time. It might be too cumbersome for those people to cook in such a way as to get all they need from food alone. Nevertheless, for most people, it is very easy to get all the nutrition we need from ordinary everyday foods.

One of the keys to this is to gain knowledge about the different kinds of vitamins, and the natural vitamin sources that are best. Once you have that knowledge, incorporating as many of them as possible into your diet will be easy! Water soluble vitamins must be repleneshed each day because they cannot be stored in our bodies. Therefore, learning natural vitamin sources in those cases is the most important step. Many of the following natural sources will be from things you already have in your home, so it will be a cinch to start! Here is a list of many common sources for vitamins:

* Natural vitamin C sources include citrus, cabbage family, berries, chili peppers, melons, asparagus, rose hips

* Natural vitamin B12 sources include organ meats, pork, fish, eggs, cheese, milk, bananas, lamb, kelp, peanuts (How about a peanut butter and banana sandwich!)
