I can't believe this! It miserably failed the test!
I had been reading how people said that when they did the dissolve test with their freeda biotin it would dissolve in a couple minutes, even seconds.
Well, I dropped a 2.5mg tablet in room temperature water. I check on it 10 minutes later and the tablet is at the bottom and hasn't fully dissolved. I stir it and the tablet comes apart but the white stuff settles right back to the bottom.
I'm a little taken aback by this. But then I remembered some people adding vinegar to their solution. So I took 12 ounces of water and added 1 1/2 tablespoons of vinegar to the solution and dropped another tablet into the mix. This time I decided to wait 20 minutes. 20 minutes later I come back and see the same thing. I take a spoon and stir the mixture and the tablet breaks apart. I come back 5 minutes later and a whole bunch of white residue is sitting at the bottom of the glass.
The only thing I can think of is maybe I got a bad batch. I did get my freeda biotin from koshervitaminsforless.com. Could that mean that I got less than good quality?
I want to get freeda biotin again but these results are less than pleasing.
ETA: I also tried putting the biotin-water mixture in the microwave for 90 seconds. I took it out and the biotin was still sitting at the bottom.
On a good note: My trimedia MSM powder passed the test!
