Does anyone \"test\" their vitamins????
Do any of you guys test your vitamins for potency and absorbability? (is that a word?) Anyway, I read on another forum where someone tested the quality of her vitamins by seeing how easily they can be crushed and by soaking them in vinegar to see how fast it dissolved.
Well I did this test on GNC vitamins vs. my More than a Multiple and Solgar vitamins.
The GNC vitamins took much, much longer to dissolve than the others AND were much, much harder to crush(w/the side of a knife).
Are these legitamite (sp?) tests? Has anyone else heard of this? Or is it just nonsense.
I know about the float test for MSM and the freezer test for EFAs, but I had never heard of this one.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!!!
TIA,
Jen
