The majority of the vitamins you will find in dietary supplements are made synthetically rather than derived from plants or other materials. From a molecular standpoint, there is often no difference between synthetic and naturally-derived vitamins. In fact, most synthetically-made vitamins and other nutrients are either identical to their natural counterparts (often referred to as “nature-identical) or easily converted to their natural form in the body. Other advantages of synthetically-produced vitamins and minerals include:

• Significantly lower cost.
• Higher purity (fewer contaminants).
• Higher potency (can be delivered in smaller doses).
• Synthetically-produced vitamins, minerals and nutritional compounds are “USP/NF-grade,” meaning that they come from licensed production laboratories and meet the stringent standards of the United States Pharmacopeia or the National Formulary.

While some professionals have the opinion that synthetic vitamins are less effective than their naturally-derived counterparts, to the best of our knowledge there have not been valid studies on this subject.

GeneWize Life Sciences currently uses only USP/NF-grade vitamins, minerals and nutritional compounds (e.g.Trimethylglycine, Alpha lipoic Acid and Choline Bitartrate) . Depending upon your formula, these ingredients account for between 5 to 10% of our current compensating ingredients.
