multivitamins disappoint - Page 2

Betty · 02-10-2009, 07:50 AM

I saw an ad for a "liquid" vitamin - you know - a capsule with liquid inside it. They claimed that you could absorb that more easily and that most vitamins pass through a person without even breaking down much.

I wonder if the liquid filled kind does any better or is just another baseless claim.

I us3ed to take liquid vitamins when I was a kid. They were gross.

I only take vitamin C tablets when I'm going to crowded places, or I've been around sick people, as a precaution.

I sometimes take vitamin B as an energy boost or when I'm feeling stressed.

Other than that, I get my nutrients from my foods, and have a very strong immune system.

I take vitamins. I need all the help I can get.

Besides, I feel SOOOO much better when I take them - more energy, better sleep, clearer mind. I don't expect them to cure cancer or prevent heart disease but if they help me along those lines then, great. I also think they've helped me a GREAT deal with weight loss.

That's what I get from my B vitamins, NA - I really enjoy the immediate results and how they make me feel.

I once heard vitamins described as "expensive pee"

Why miss them? There's no law against adults eating them. We had a bottle a while back and it was kind of fun, eating them like the candy they are.

It's been shown over and over again that most of what's in vitamins ends up in your pee. But if some of it gets into you, that's not a bad thing...but I wouldn't expect much.
