Hi marie! I posted my intro as you requested! If you want to read my LONG post, feel free! I will let you all know how this new liquid Vitamin works out. I better notice a difference at $20 a month!! Patty

Hi all! I actually received the Utrition liquid today and had my first dose of it and it is quite pleasant. It has a tart taste when you first sip it, butthen it is slightly sweet...almost like a splenda taste to it...no bitter after taste or anything. Very nice. I will see if it makes a difference in how I feel after about 30 days! I will post any findings! Patty

Hey all! I wanted to add to this discussion.I am pretty picky about my multi-Vitamins. Most of the supermarkert chewables out there(flintstones, Centrum,gummy bears, gummy balls, etc) just don't have enough in them in my opinion to be of any value. I found Source of Life chewables recently and they have alot of good stuff in them in high enough quantities to be of value. I always look for high amounts of folate(for women in reproductive years, you should be up in the 400-800mcg per day area) and of course all the other B's, etc. Most vitamins fall short. SInce I have been taking the source of life chewables(I take 2 instead of 1 to get more of what falls short)..I do like it..it tastes like pineapple, but does leave a lingering aftertaste.. I looked into the Source of Life liquid mentioned here...i was having a hard time finding a good complete liquid. This liquid actually looks better than the chewable version as far as the vitamin/mineral content. In my search around the net to find a good price for Source of Life, I came across another liquid that looks even better! It is from Utrition. Vitamin Shoppe also carries it..I went through Amazon/Vitamin Shoppe and got it for $20.97 for 32oz..here is the profile. I like that it added 500mg of glucosomine for joint health.: <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=2 width=525 border=0><TBODY><TR borderColor=white borderColorLight=white bgColor=white

http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/browse/sku_detail.jhtml;$sessionid$SBECXWT0UCNQYCQUAOYCM4QKCQB00GXK?SkuID=224937&BreadCrumbType=SearchResult It is interesting when you buy it directly from vitaminshoppe.com it is $26.21, but when I linked to Vitamin Shoppe through Amazon..it was $20.97! I was able to use my Amazon checkout so Ididn't have to re-register through VS. Anyway..I will report back on the taste and how I feel. It does look like a good vitamin so far from the ingredients list..and hopefully will be better than the chewables. Patty banded 8/13/02 Dr Kuri
