Is this true? I wasn't able to find a single website or ng post to support this and I think probably one works better than the other,

I doubt the synthetic can cause liver damage.
There is truth to it. Synthetic, processd, purified, individual vitamins have been shown to cause problems sometimes.
I think it is due to the fact that many nutients do not act alone. Most vitamins come in varied forms in natural foods. Our food sources have never provided us with these nutrients in purified and isolated form. We need our nutrients to be from complex-wholefood multiple-nutrient-rich sources.
It is always better to get nutrients in forms that are the closest to naturally occurring forms. ie real foods.
