So mad at vitamin supplements

Tdc78

So I just found out that store bought vitamins are only absorbed less than 12% in the body. That's ridiculous! My mom has osteoporosis and I have been trying to get a jump start on my vitamin D for years to not end up like her. Now come to find out pill vitamins don't do the job? I'm livid!

DH had to take glucosamine for his knees and our doctors told us the same thing about pills. Glucoasamine in pill form didn't work as fast or as good. He takes a liquid form because it is more efficiently absorded into the body. I know there are some companies that sell a liquid vitamin D so maybe you could try that.

yeah they aren't great I hate it when people use "gummy" vitamins you get even less from them they're pointless.

I do everything in my power to get the nutrients I need from what I eat. Synthetic vitamins just don't stack up to the natural ones.

don't take vitamin supplements, take JuicePlus+.  It is fruits & vegetables in capsule form. Gluten free, organic and it's FOOD *not* a supplement, which is huge.  Since I have been taking it, almost four months now, the difference I have seen in my health are tremendous and the differences my oncologist has seen in my bloodwork is crazy.  If you want more information, inbox me.  There's also a berry blend which provides all of the antioxidants we need to reverse the signs of aging and undo the damage we've done to ourselves with stress.  I take all three blends and drink the protein powder which contains the fruits, veggies, berries *and* sea minerals.  again, if you want more info, inbox me.

shoot...I forgot to say that by it being FOOD and not a supplement, it is completely absorbed by your body.  all my doctors and I think this is one of the reasons I got pregnant after chemo so easily.  good luck!

Have you had your Vit D levels checked? If you're normal, no need to supplement at all! Getting some sun is the best way, but if you still want to supplement why not try a liquid like a pp mentioned. I take Carlson's Vit D drops but there are lots of good ones out there.
