Getting all those vitamins and supplements down!

Anyone out there putting their vitamins and supplements in the blender and making a smoothie? I know we all take a boat load of stuff, I swallow mine 5 or so at a time, but have been contemplating tossing them all into my blender.
 
I only take two Nourishair each day and I have a hard time getting those down. A blender sounds like a good idea.
 
it does sound like a good idea but too time consuming i like to take my vits early in the morning in two to three gulps and get it over with /images/graemlins/grin.gif

maybe i'll try it on my day off
 
the blender thing worries me cos it might speed up the pharmacokinetics and become more likely to cause side effects. finer granules are absorbed faster i guess.

the scientist in me is 'popping'out.

Sorry Pandora but what does "pharmacokinetics" mean exactly?

yes, please break it down for us /images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
PK or pharmacokinetics is what your body does to a drug when you take it. 4 steps (ADME): absorption, distribution, metabolism (breaking down) and finally excretion.

hope that is clearer.

Someone asked earlier how the vitamins tasted. They taste AWFUL. When I first started taking I wasn't used to taking those horsepills so I couldn't get it to go down. Well, from being in my mouth for so long it started dissolving on its on. I spit it out and the white coat (I take Ultranourishair) was gone and there was this pale yellow with some other kind of colors /images/graemlins/crazy.gif going on inside, and it got extremely gritty and chalky like. Ugh.
 
See I'd be afraid this would taste like total dog doo. (Specially with all the crap I take! lol) Luckily I have no problem taking any size pill.
 
I use hair,skin and nails, vitmins, they seem to be doing the trick but i hate taking those big pills, the look like horse pills and its only 3 a day. /images/graemlins/kisses.gif
 
I like the theory behind putting pills in a blender. We all need suggestions on how to brighten up the green mile we call swallowing pills! It helps me to put divided batches of pills into ice-makers' square compartments, then set it right on the counter (or in the silverware drawer, if you have to be less conspicuous) so that I take them with each meal. It also helps me eat better!
 
Hello ladies,

I have never tried the blender thing was just wondering, because some...well okay most mornings I don't do breakfast, but want to start the day off by getting my vitamins down, so I was considering the idea of sipping on a smoothie on the way to work. I get them down, but uuugghh, some of the pills are torpedos. Thanks for the input. I'll be sure and let you know if I try it. PS. I do understand about the absorption or rather the timing thereof, if its a time release and you blend it you'll probably be getting it all at one time. Didn't think about that. /images/graemlins/fat.gif
