Grinding Vitamins??

[Anaya18]

I just wondered if anyone considered grinding their vitmain tablets and mixing them with juice to make taking so many tablets easier? I currently also take flaxseed and have found that a coffee grinder works wonderfully. I just wondered if anyone had success doing it that way, or if anyone thought that the vitamins would be too potent if grinded and therefore absorbed into the body too quickly.

Any thoughts would be welcomed!!

Thanx /images/graemlins/cool.gif

Seems like it would taste "medicine-y". /images/graemlins/confused.gif

Maybe the other ladies have luck with that method.

Hmmmmm...I'm not sure about that. I think vitamins are supposed to dissolve in your system at a certain rate. I think grinding them may cause them to be absorbed too quickly. You know how some prescription medicine says do not crush or chew? But I could be wrong...

oh yeh i forgot about that and the same way that some tablets say to take wit cold water coz warm water wud cause them to dissolve to fast

I did this with my pre-natal vitamins and mixed with my oatmeal when I was pregnant. I think it's an excellent idea...that's why I prefer liquids. They don't have all the 'filler' to dissolve before they get in your system. They are much more effective this way. They say a lot of vitamins don't even dissolve fully before you pass them. You can test them by dropping them in a glass of water and see how long they take to dissolve(of course in your stomach they will dissolve faster due to the acids.)
