How to Make Vitamins

Everyone is very concerned with health and staying healthy. With the rising costs of medical care, this is hardly surprising. One way to stay healthy is to take vitamins. However, some vitamins you buy in the store can contain ingredients that you might not expect, such as genetically-engineered corn. Fortunately, you can make your own vitamins.

Instructions

Vitamin B

• 1

  Go to a bakery and buy fresh, compressed yeast. You will use this yeast to make Vitamin B. Explain that you are intending to eat the yeast, and must have the freshest available.

• 2

  Cook the yeast before consuming it. Yeast that's uncooked can cause indigestion and be difficult to digest. Cook a pound of yeast by adding it, ¼ cup at a time, to a cup of boiling water. After all of the yeast has melted, and it begins to boil again, pour it into a glass container. The container can be air-tight, or you can cover it with tin foil.

• 3

  Serve yourself and your family a few spoonfuls each day. If you pour the yeast from the container instead of drinking directly from the container or dipping a spoon into it, you should be able to keep the yeast formula for more than a month in your refrigerator. You can even flavor the yeast formula by adding vanilla, honey or whatever you desire. Yeast is another excellent source of Vitamin B.

Vitamin D

• 4

  Expose yourself to the sun at least 3 times a week without sunscreen. Your body will generate Vitamin D by itself.

• 5

  Stay outside for at least 5 to 10 minutes. People with darker skin would have to expose their skin longer, while those with lighter skin should stay out for shorter periods of time.

• 6

  Eat foods high in Vitamin D during the winter months. Cod liver oil contains the highest amounts of Vitamin D.

Vitamin C

• 7

  Cut the peels of citrus fruits into thin strips.

• 8

  Lay the peels on cheese cloth. Make sure the peels don't touch each other.

• 9

  Wait a few days and you have a fresh source of Vitamin C.

• 10

  Place the peels in a coffee grinder to create a powder. Store in an air-tight container. Take one teaspoon a day for a good source of Vitamin C.
