Important Multivitamin Info

[RBEliminator]

If you take multivit/mineral capsules they could be doing nothing at all. Try this test to see. Take your packet of vits/mins. or whatever you use and place it in some vinegar. Now time it for 30 minutes. If everything is disolved it's an excellent capsule vitamin and you are getting everything out of it. However of the capsules or capsule are not disolved your vitamins are supplying you with everything they say to be. Take this, if only 20% of your vit. is disolved then you are only getting that 20% from the vit/min. so instead of the 100% DV your only getting 20% DV. Here's Why.




See in the 1996 Physicians Desk Reference (Page 1542) it explains why the body only absorbs 10-20% of the traditional synthesized capsule vitamin. See when nutrients are absorbed they absorb rapidly in the acid in your stomach however everything is flushed through in about 30 minutes.




You are not what you eat, you are what you absorb! According to page 1542 of the Physician's Desk Reference, Liquid Vitamin and Minerals have a 98% absorption rate, literally 5 -10 times that of standard pills and capsules.




Liquids vs. Pills?
Liquid Nutrients

Liquid is much easier to swallow especially for children and seniors.

Liquid is prepared from fresh organic ingedients.

Liquids assimilate immediately into the blood stream for immediate effect.

Liquid absorption of nutrients is 95% - 98%.

Liquid is typically 3-5 times more concentrated for higher bio-activity, ensuring the consumer greater therapeutic benefits.

Liquid ingredients are not powdered and require no fillers, binders or added excipients. Also, liquid nutrients are not compressed, which requires additional digestion to break down the ingredients or to break down the capsules that have additives.

Liquid Body Balance and OsteoProCare tastes good.






Vitamin Capsules/Tabs

Cap/Tabs are especially hard to swallow for children and seniors.

Cap/Tabs ingredients can be powdered up to one year after harvest.

Cap/Tabs require digestion and may take several hours to yield little effect.

Cap/Tabs absorption of nutrients is limited to 2% - 20% maximum.

Cap/Tabs have low concentration of bioactive components, therefore having weaker therapeutic benefits.

Capsules ingredients are powdered, then placed into pork based gelatin or vegetable capsules, where additives like talc or other fillers are added.

Tablets ingredients are powdered, then compressed into tablets with the use of fillers, binders and added excipients. Compression requires additional digestion to break down the ingredients or to break down the capsules that have additives.

Jeez, where the hell do I start?
First off, the vinegar test is garbage, your stomach acid way stronger than vinegar, it acid. It will dissolve a capsule,. If that were not enough the vinegar test does not mimic the peristalis that is part of digestion. I have no idea why people still think this is an effective test. Its an urban legend.
A timed released tablet will help ensure more effective and complete absorption of water soluble vitains (B and C).
Liquid multis gwhile being absorbed quicker don't ensure proper use by the body especially for Cs and Bs, you wnat timed released for those.
Everything else you mentioned can be avoided by using a reputable brand of multi. Especially the bioactive statement and absobability of vitamins.

Bump. Stomach acid is, in fact, about 100x more acidic than vinegar.
