My step mom said the people she knows that have had great success have used a liquid multi vitamin for better absorption. Any one have experience with this?

yes, better when they are whole food vitamins. expensive but worth it.

I've had previous experience with a brand called Omnitrition - they have a liquid Vitamin called "Omni 4" that has GREAT absorbtion. With all the people on here, I'd guess someone has heard of that brand. Any feedback is appreciated.

What are "whole food" Vitamins? I guess I could just google it too.....

Those are vitamins that come from foods instead of from a lab. The closer to nature the better absorption and easier on thr gut.

I am taking a liquid multi from Vitamin Shoppe. Kind of weird/funky tasteing but works well. I take it in the morning. The b vitamins give me energy.

liquid vits. may absorb quickly BUT I have yet to find a liquid vitamin that has as much vitamins in it as does the pill form or chewable form. My pharmacist agrees....they just aren't as potent.

Littlebird,

I am a chiropractic student intern and the BEST liquid Vitamin is....Body Balance made by Lifeforce. I actually just ordered a gallon of it off the internet. It's amazing.....it's even helped people with cancer and major diseases. You can order it off the internet from many different sites. It is expensive but WELL worth it! It's funny because you and I have a lot in common. I will be having my surgery Aug. 22, 2006 and I weigh my highest wt. ever is 250 and my goal is 150. I am doing a gallbladder cleanse this week. and Clear liquids next week to get ready for my band. I AM SO EXCITED about getting healthy and fit and STAYING that way for LIFE!

Keep in touch

I just started using a liquid Vitamin from Glacial Milk. I don't know why it's called that, there is no milk or lactose in the product. In fact, it's citris flavored and has no sugar, no carbs, and no calories.

I've only been taking it for a few days so I'm not really noticing any difference yet but their label shows the nutrient quantity and their percentage of daily value. For most of the nutrients listed it's 100% or higher. It smells pretty 'vitamin-y' but it actually tastes OK, not the way it smells AT ALL. I was going to say it tastes pretty good but . . . lol, it's a vitamin! I'll put it this way: It's way less offensive than any other vitamin I've tried. No vitamin-y burps either - blech! If you really can't tolerate it, it would probably all but disappear in a small glass of juice. I'm usually a big baby with how things taste and smell and I'm fine with this stuff.

I can't make the label info show up here without it spreading out all over the place and making NO sense so, check out their website for the nutrient information and their daily percentage values, www.glacialmilk.net.

Well I like this one so far - I had already ordered it - but it makes me queasy. I talked to the "supplier" today and she said take it with food. Tastes like vitaminy fruit juice. I'll try "food" and see what I feel like then.

I don't like the fact that it DOES have carbs so I'll look at some of your suggestions....

Also - at 98% absorption I would think it doesn't need as much as the pills that only absorb 10%...so less potent would make sense to me....

i bought VIACTIVE chewables. my lapband surgery is THIS friday, sept 14th so if anyone has tried these vitamins feedback is welcomed. i'm willing to try out other suggested liquid vitamins, just haven't had luck in finding any.
