Time-release vitamins

[soulchild]

Does anyone have any clue on generally how long it takes for these types of vitamins to fully be released? If it takes a full day or half a day or what. Just wondering if anybody knew. I e-mailed Puritan Pride my question, but I don't know, they might not want to disclose the info. The vitamin is B-complex B-50 Time Release. "Specially formulated to provide a gradual release of Vitamins over a prolonged period of time."

Well from an article I read many years ago, time released vitamins are a waste of money. It said something about them just being a ploy to get more money out of a consumer (they cost a little more). What ever the thing is that causes it to be released, sometimes, doesnt release, and you wind up getting NO benefits at times. I really didnt want to post this because I dont have the article to physically back up what am saying. So for many, this post will neither be here nor there. I myself am not sure how accurate the info is. It even went as far as to say that all vitamins are in a sense time released, so adding an element to them to make them even more time released would kind of make them slower--unnecessarily slower

Thanks for that info. Now I'm wondering if I should return them and get the regular ones. PP did respond, they said it should be completely released by 6 hours.

I read that too about the ploy in these time released supplements. These people would say anything to get your hard earned money out of your pockets.

I know thats right...cant trust hardly anyone these days, that's why it's good to try to seek out as much knowledge as you can on your own and just hope for the best.
