hi mate,

Answer :

we get energy from food so , here's the difference between natural and synthetic nutrients: Natural nutrients: These are obtained from whole food sources in the diet. Synthetic nutrients: Also referred to as isolated nutrients, these are usually made artificially, in an industrial process.

Many people don't get enough nutrients from the diet alone (1Trusted Source).

Currently, over half of the US population takes synthetic nutrients like multivitamins (2Trusted Source).

However, there has been much debate over whether synthetic nutrients provide the same benefits as natural nutrients.

Some sources even suggest that synthetic nutrients may be dangerous.

This article takes an objective look at the science on synthetic and natural nutrients.

Here's the difference between natural and synthetic nutrients:

Natural nutrients: These are obtained from whole food sources in the diet.

Synthetic nutrients: Also referred to as isolated nutrients, these are usually made artificially, in an industrial process.

Synthetic nutrients do not include "whole food supplements," which are made from concentrated, dehydrated whole foods.

The majority of supplements available on the market today are made artificially. These include vitamins, antioxidants, minerals and amino acids, among others.

They can be taken in pill, capsule, tablet, powder or liquid form, and are made to mimic the way natural nutrients act in our bodies.

To figure out if your supplement is synthetic or natural, check the label. Natural supplements usually list food sources or are labeled as 100% plant or animal-based.

Supplements that list nutrients individually, such as vitamin C, or use chemical names like ascorbic acid, are almost certainly synthetic.

The accepted view is that synthetic nutrients are almost chemically identical to those found in food.

However, the production process of synthetic nutrients is very different to the way plants and animals create them. So despite having a similar structure, your body may react differently to synthetic nutrients.

Additionally, it's unclear how well synthetic nutrients are absorbed and used in the body. Some may be more easily absorbed, not others (3Trusted Source).

This is because when you eat real food, you're not consuming single nutrients, but rather a whole range of vitamins, minerals, co-factors and enzymes that allow for optimal use by the body.

Without these additional compounds, synthetic nutrients are unlikely to be used by the body in the same way as their natural counterparts (4Trusted Source).

For example, studies show that natural vitamin E is absorbed twice as efficiently as synthetic vitamin E (5Trusted Source).

i hope it helps you.

Natural Materials

Natural materials are those that are found in nature and have not been made by humans, like plants, rocks, and water.

Synthetic Materials

Synthetic materials are man-made and cannot be found in nature. Synthetic materials are things like plastic that can be created by combining different chemicals, or prepared compounds and substances, in a laboratory.
