Hopefully the pic shows ok. I had to try to compress it which is annoying.
So I got some interesting PM's in the past when I make supplement comments. A few years ago I posted that I routinely see vitamins in patients bowel that ofcourse are not absorbed so its a waste of money. I made the mistake of saying the brand the patient was taking which caused some upset people.
Here is an example from yesterday. The patient only took 1 type of tablet which was a well known multivitamin. When i showed her her scan she was embarrassed because she spent a lot of money on this vitamin and it obviously is just going right through her bowel ( its now in her colon) and not doing anything.
I favor liquid or gel caps when possible. Im not saying all tablets are bad but think about the people who are designing some of these supplements..do they really understand the process or are they some guys who like working out, read some articles online and are "respected" in the community so are trying to capitalize. This is just one of many examples. Doing my best to actually prove some of the statements I make whenever possible.
