Does it really make a difference where you buy vitamins/supplements?

I've always heard that going to the natural is the best, but are they REALLY that much different than what you get off the shelf in the grocery store? Or are the grocery store brands really filled with "fillers"?

This is what I found @ www.suplementquality.com



The distinction between "synthetic" and "natural" vitamins can be confusing. A better question is whether the resulting molecular structure is the same as the corresponding structure found in nature.

When the synthetic molecule is identical to the form derived from natural sources, both forms will be indistinguishable from each other in all aspects -- including their function and effects in the human body.

In addition, the same natural vitamin derived from different natural sources or raw materials will be the same (provided that no other substances unique to that particular source are included).
