Vitamins are a group of organic compounds, the small quantities of which are indispensable for maintaining health, ensuring proper operation of reproductive functions, and for securing the fundamental energy transformations in the body.

Grundlegende Werte synthetischer Vitamine

Die Diskussion über die Nützlichkeit synthetischer Vitamine ist komplexer, als sie scheint. Ein erster Blick könnte nahelegen, dass pflanzliche Produkte besser sind, weil sie natürlich sind. Allerdings ist dies kein ausreichender Beweis. Wenn Vitamine in Nahrungsergänzungsmitteln die gleiche chemische Struktur wie natürlich vorkommende Vitamine aufweisen, wie wird der Körper den Unterschied zwischen dem erkennen, was auf dem Feld wächst, und dem, was im Labor hergestellt wird? Um alle Zweifel auszuräumen, müssen wir sowohl Nahrungsergänzungsmittel als auch natürliche Produkte genau untersuchen, einschließlich konkreter wissenschaftlicher Studien.

Ascorbinsäure und ihre Salzverbindungen

Ascorbinsäure, die in Apotheken erhältlich ist, ist kein Äquivalent für Vitamin C, obwohl es eine der bioaktiven Formen ist. Es unterscheidet sich jedoch von dem, was in Lebensmitteln enthalten ist, wo man eine andere bioaktive Form von Vitamin C findet, nämlich Dehydroascorbinsäure. Im Gegensatz zu Nahrungsergänzungsmitteln, die hauptsächlich Ascorbinsäure enthalten, zeigen Studien an Menschen, dass Vitamin C in Lebensmitteln 1,74 Mal besser in Enterocyten absorbiert wird als isolierte Ascorbinsäure. Andere Studien legen auch nahe, dass Vitamin C in Zitrusfrüchten langsamer abgebaut wird als synthetisch hergestellte Ascorbinsäure.

Vitamin K und seine Derivate

Vitamin K1, auch bekannt als Philoquinon, ist in Pflanzen enthalten – diese Variante von Vitamin K verursacht keine toxischen Nebenwirkungen, selbst wenn es in viel höheren Mengen als die empfohlene Tagesdosis konsumiert wird. Vitamin K3, manchmal Menadion genannt, sollte nicht als aktive Form von Vitamin K verwendet werden, da es zur Entstehung von Anämie und Hyperbilirubinämie beiträgt. Vitamin K3 kommt in der Natur nicht vor und kann nur im Labor hergestellt werden, aber es wird glücklicherweise nicht häufig in Nahrungsergänzungsmitteln verwendet.

Vitamin A und seine Salze

Vitamin A tritt hauptsächlich in Form von Retinylestern in der Nahrung auf, während in Nahrungsergänzungsmitteln hauptsächlich Retinsäure zu finden ist, die ein Metabolit von Vitamin A ist. Tierversuche haben ergeben, dass synthetisches Vitamin A die Elimination von Vitamin E verringert, dieser Effekt wurde jedoch nicht beobachtet, wenn natürlich vorkommendes Vitamin A konsumiert wurde. Weitere Studien deuten darauf hin, dass der Vitamin-A-Komplex, der in Lebensmitteln enthalten ist, etwa 1,5-mal besser absorbierbar ist und gleichzeitig eine geringere Toxizität aufweist.

Zusammenfassung

Es gibt viele Beispiele, aber in fast jeder Situation sind natürliche Entsprechungen leichter verdaulich und sicherer. Ein zusätzlicher Vorteil von Obst und Gemüse ist der breite Spektrum von Komponenten, die die Wissenschaft bisher noch nicht gründlich untersucht hat. Heißt das, dass Nahrungsergänzungsmittel unnötig sind? Nein. Es ist lediglich eine Aussage, dass die Basis der Ernährung immer auf Vollwertkost basieren sollte.
