So far my relatives swear by it, but I personally think fresh is the best compared to dried/concentrated/powdered/encapsulated etc.
Yah, I better go check out the ingredients.
Yes, it is wise to do due diligence before commit into any product, example checking out the ingredient in the label, find out what types of good certification is has, and etc.
If you check out in detail, you might notice that most supplement/vitamins are made of synthetic (made-made) ingredient. For example, if you go pharmacy to get some vitamin C, try to check out the ingredient. I believe you will see this thing called "ascorbic acid" at the label. But the truth is ascorbic acid is not vitamin C. Ascorbic acid is only an isolate, a fraction, a distillate of naturally occurring vitamin C.
Although in short term, consuming synthetic vitamins doesn't harm you but in long term, these synthetic vitamins (including other substance like medicine/drugs) can over-burden our good kidney and liver organ which detox all these unnatural stuff. Thus damage those organs.
