Just TRIED to take my first multi-vitamin pill

[Nocturnal]

OMG I almost puked my guts out. The smell of the pill is horrible, the size of the pill is horrible, the aftertaste of it being cut into two pieces is horrible. How can anyone live day by day taking one of these things? Those ^ are some of the main reasons I've never taken a multi-vitamin up until now.

WTF? How can you stand it?

Hmm.. I like the smell of B-vitamins.

Do a little research. It's not really hard to get your full daily value of all your vitamins and minerals if you eat very specific foods throughout the day.

It's not the best to get all your vitamins in one huge lump. Most of it gets pissed down the toilet.

Better yet, go to a juice place and get some shots of juiced Wheat Grass. It's one of the only things known that contains every vitamin and mineral known to man.

Some people can't stand the grassy taste, but you might like it better than taking the pill. Especially if you have it mixed with a smoothie or something.

why are you cutting it in half?

 

[MercenaryForHire]

Buy the chewables then, since you're obviously still a baby.

It really wasn't a vitamin, it was suppository.

 

[Anubis]

[ChrisIsBored]

Are you chewing it or wha? Just swallow it like aspirin and drink it down.

Probably because it's too big.

Many people have a gag relflex when it comes to pills.

I just like to say.. what does that tell you? People weren't meant to take vitamins in pill form..

Plus, if you get the vitamins and minerals the natural way, you're getting so many other substances that are beneficial...

You're not supposed to suck on the damn thing, lol. Drop it on your tongue and take a drink. The only pills I take now are Coral Calcium... yeah... I fell for the infomercial on TV... but it's good stuff... I had a knee injury a few years ago, doctor said I'd need surgery by the time I'm 40... the last MRI I had done he said he couldn't even tell it had been injurred if he hadn't known already.

 

[TallBill]

just down it and dont be a puss. no cutting in half either. how big is the pill? i've taken 1000 mg pills.. those were easy.

 

[conjur]

Just wait until your piss is dark yellow/orange!

 

[Encryptic]

Yeah, multivitamins are a pain. Just get a nice big glass of juice or water and wash that sucker down.

You gotta learn to open your throat more.

Don't forget to cup the balls.


+1 to anyone that gets that line...

Is coral calcium isn't actually made of coral, is it? Besides the legal issues that would involve, wouldn't that be kind of evil?

Would you rather eat cow bones?

They probably synthesize it in a lab and call the product coral calcium because that's what it chemically resembles.

No, I'd rather eat right to start with.

I usually take some 2-3 at once with water, not even feeling the taste (how can you feel it?). Frankly speaking, I have eaten tons of them with no visible effect. I don't feel anything at all, nothing, like I didn't take them. It's pretty strange I guess.

Mine doesn't smell... are you chewing them or something?

You've never seen the infomercials?
Yes... it's actually made of coral. The kind I take is made from coral sand, which is harvested from the bottom of the ocean floor off the coast of Okinawa Japan. They don't bust up the coral, they take the sand that's on the bottom of the ocean. Some places take it off the beach... but supposedly the best stuff comes right out of the ocean because it hasn't been weathered.
There are tons of other kinds of calcium supliments, but supposedly calcium from coral is the most easily absorbable. They're saying if you take a regular calcium suppliment made with calcium carbonate, you absorb about 10% of that calcium... milk, you get 20%... but this stuff your body absorbs 100% of it in 10 minutes.

I'm not sure of all the facts, but it makes damn good sense to me after reading a few books. And my knee completely healing is enough proof for me.
