Where to find inexpensive liquid supplements? Or should I switch to pills?
Get a multi vit/min pill, crush and put in liquid. Eat red meat, liver especially good, for iron source and/or whole grains and green veggies with some vit c for iron. The last "memory and mood" sounds very dubious, are you sure it's oil is only from fda approved pure texas snakes? Many multi vit/miin pills will suit, do some price google searching. The contents of the things you take are dubious in another way, some companies like to put in every thing but the kitchen sink and the problem is that it is there but in amounts that have little/no health benefit but do allow it to be marketed and placed on the label to ride the coat tails of other marketing campaings. Hello all, I'm trying to find a way to reduce the amount I'm spending on supplements every month, and I need some advice please. Whenever possible I buy liquid supplements (which I take in orange juice) because A) I hate swallowing pills and B) I've read that liquid supplements are more easily absorbed, whereas pills sometimes pass through only partially digested. But I've also read some things that contradict that latter part. If I'm not getting any extra benefit from taking my supplements in liquid form, than I may decide to just bite the bullet (or horse pill ) and switch to pills to save money. If I do switch to pills, though, I want to take as few as possible, once a day. I'm currently taking Innovative Natural Products' Liquid Multiple-Vitamins and Liquid Multiple-Minerals, Floradix Floravital Iron + Herbs Liquid Extract Formula (I was diagnosed with anemia a couple months ago), and Herb Pharm's Good Mood Tonic and Brain & Memory Tonic. I'm buying them at the local hippy food store, and those things plus the Omega 3 capsules I order from Omega Brite are costing me over $150/month! I need to cut costs and so I'm looking for cheaper supplements (or a cheaper source of those supplements) that will provide the same benefits. Any tips? Thanks in advance for your help!
