And you thought you had to chew IP's tabs...

I was in school today and we were looking at x-rays that each student takes in the clinic so we could diagnose and learn other things about how to read them chiropractically.

Anyways, it was of my lower thoracic and lumbar region, along with my pelvic region.

anyways, as my instructor was looking at mine using it as an example for the class, she pointed out these fragments in my "lower area" Turns out, she said that they are vitamin particles that do not get absorbed in the intestines.

She said that this is very common and that multivitamin companies make these pills way too hard for most humans to completely absorb. Therefore she said that they should put on every body that you chew the tabs before swallowing them, breaking down the outer glue/filler that holds the pill so compactly for maximum absorption (sounds familiar huh?)

I know it seems ridiculous right? I mean something as simple as a mulitivitamin..people just take it for granted that they will get their proper supplemenation while the whole time they are not!

i mean honestly, i think a multi-vitamin and water are the two most important supplments to any bodybuilder/athlete. too bad i didnt find all this out til the other day

but it sure is disgusting chewing those fuckers up

Bump!

Nice post. I just started to take my multi vits. with my EAS shakes. I put them in a zip lock bag and crush them with the bottom on a table spoon until they are powderized and then dump in in the blender. No taste and hopefully it will absorb better.
