I wanted to see if my body was really absorbing these.
I put 5 different vitamins in seperate glass cups filled with vinegar. The vits I tested were:
Freeda Biotin 10 mg tablet
One a Dy multi tablet
Vitamin Shoppe Hair Skin and Nails tablet
Country Life Vitamin E complex capsule
Vitamin Shoppe Flax Seed Oil capsule
The results:
The Freeda biotin which is a kosher brand vitamin immediately floated to the top and dissolved within seconds.
The One a Day multi floated and dissolved after about 10 mins.
The VS Hair Skin and Nails just sat at the bottom of the cup and did nothing. This was after about 15 mins of being in the vinegar. I came back an hour later and just a little of the vitamin had dissolved. Ultimately 5 hours later the vitamin just sat at the bottom of the cup taking forever to dissolve. After about 5 hours of sitting I would say that it was about 50% dissolved.
The Country Life Vitamin E complex dissolved after about 1 hour.
The Vitamin Shoppe Flaxseed Oil just sat at the bottom of the cup for a very long time before any of the oils came out. It took about 4 hours for some of the oils to be released from the capsule.
I used to think that brands were of no importance but now I believe that you get what you pay for. I was starting to supsect that the VS brand Vitamins were inferior to other brands and I think that my test my have shed some light on my opinion.
I was extremely pleased with the results from the Freeda Biotin and the One a Day Multi. I was ok with the results of the Country Life Vitamin E complex. I will stick with these.
I recently switched some of my vits to liquid and the others I will be buying kosher from now on.
