Plant-based vitamins: 100% natural ingredients and nothing else!
Written on December 8, 2025, by Pauline de Santarome
It's time we talked! Don't you find it paradoxical? Consuming organic products while at the same time absorbing concentrated synthetic molecules to supplement your diet? Yes, we are talking about synthetic vitamins.
So why not simply choose plant-based vitamins?
In short, synthetic vitamins and plant-based vitamins: spot the four differences:
- Synthetic vitamins are not always exact copies of those found in nature.
- Plant-based vitamins extracted from fruits or plants arecompatible with your body.
- Synthetic vitamin dosages are not always suited to your needs.
- Plant-based vitamins are better absorbed by your body.
1) Back to basics: plant vitamins under the microscope
What are plant-based vitamins?
When it comes to choosing vitamins, there are two opposing camps:
- Plant vitamins
- Synthetic vitamins But the choice is easy: plant-based vitamins are in formsthat are compatible with human physiology. Synthetic vitamins, on the other hand, are less easily absorbed...
And vitamins are important. Theyare essential because they play a role in many of the body's functions. But no vitamins are more essential than others; it's all about balance.
What's more, you are unique! Vitamin requirements vary depending on age, gender, body size, health, etc. For example, a teenager, an athlete, or a pregnant woman will have higher vitamin requirements than a sedentary man.
Where can you find vitamins and what are they used for?
The body cannot produce vitamins on its own. A healthy, balanced diet naturally meets the body's vitamin requirements.
But lifestyles (fatigue, pollution, lack of sleep,stress, menopause, growth) and an unbalanced diet can deplete your vitamin reserves. This is known as a deficiency.
Vitamins D, C, and E are the mostaffected. That is whyvitamin supplementation may be necessary.
2) Take vitamins, yes, but not just any vitamins!
The danger of synthetic vitamins
As their name suggests, synthetic vitamins are manufactured in laboratories. This process is much more economical for manufacturers! Their secret? Petrochemicals...A technology based on the study of petroleum to manufacture chemical compounds. Does consuming petroleum appeal to you? In short, it may be economical, but it's not necessarily good for everyone's health...
Only the dose makes the poison – Paracelsus.
Abusing synthetic vitamins can be dangerous! High doses of vitamins A or D can lead to long-term complications, such asliver problems. This is because it is the liver that worksto eliminate unnatural doses of these vitamins!
If synthetic vitamins are suspect, isn't it better to avoid them?
Plant-based vitamins to the rescue
Imagine: in an ideal world, we would all have a perfectly balanced diet. We would get 100% of the vitamins and minerals we need from fresh, tasty, home-cooked meals. Back to reality... This is not always the case.Deficiencies, fatigue, stress, sleep problems...There are solutions to these everyday problems!
Rest, yes, but alsoplant-based vitamins! Derived from nature, these vitamins supplement your needs while respecting your body.
3) Choosing natural products for your health
Fatigue… Focus on acerola
Have you ever heard of acerola? The "Caribbean cherry" is a red, juicy fruit that grows on a shrub in the Lesser Antilles and northern South America. Used by Amazonian Indians in traditional medicine, this fruit is now very popular.
One of the fruits richest in natural vitamin C, 20 to 30 times more than oranges! This vitamin helps reduce fatigue and boost immunity.
Considered a "superfruit," acerola also provides vitamins A, B1, and B6, antioxidants, protein, iron, phosphorus, and magnesium. In short, it's a concentrated source of vitality!
