In this episode of The Ingredientsage Podcast, we break down what “natural” really means when it comes to vitamin sourcing and why bioactive forms play a critical role in effectiveness and safety.
We explore how vitamins are derived from plant, microbial, and mineral sources, and how processing methods can influence potency, stability, and bioavailability.
You’ll learn how to distinguish naturally sourced vitamins from nature-identical and fully synthetic forms, understand fermentation-based production, and identify which bioactive forms the body can use most efficiently.
We also discuss label transparency, regulatory definitions, and sourcing considerations that help both consumers and brand owners evaluate vitamin quality beyond marketing claims.
Because understanding ingredients is the first step toward building better wellness.
