      compared to USP vitamins
      . USP nutrients are more concentrated and absorb
      better than nutrients contained in food in most cases, as shown in
      comparative studies that are graphed in this report. USP nutrients are
      isolated and ready to absorb in the intestine, so, except for calcium and
      vitamin C, USP nutrients absorb significantly better. Calcium and vitamin C
      in foods absorb about the same as USP. Also important, Vitamin A in
      supplements is not toxic and does not cause birth defects. In fact, the
      World Health Organization says vitamin A in supplements can reduce the risk
      of birth defects.
