Soooo I got into the vitamin craze a while ago and someone recommended Nutrilite (http://vlopez24.qhealthzone.com) to me. And of course I was like "yeah yeah yeah" I heard of this brand before and the person whipped out a bottle of this Nutrilite (http://vlopez24.qhealthzone.com)stuff.
She said "what kind of brand do you take?". And I told her it was C******(ahemmm...lets just say a VERY popular, common brand with many colors in the label lol), and she said "watch this".
So she dropped a Nutrilite (http://vlopez24.qhealthzone.com)pill in one clear cup of water, and my vitamin pill in another. So after about 15min of chatting, I looked at the cups. The cup with the Nutrilite (http://vlopez24.qhealthzone.com)?...yeah, COMPLETELY dissolved. Changed the color of the water completely as well.
My vitamin?....well it was just sitting there.....still in the pill form....barely giving off a residue and slightly changing the color of the water, and after about 3 hours, the same.
So what does this mean? Well it takes your body 3-6 hours to digest and pass through something.....most vitamins don't dissolve completely for DAYS, so basically you only absorb like less than 10% of nutrients and "poop" out the rest. Why? Because the material is alot less water soluble and cheaper to manufacture....it's business.
Since the Nutrilte (http://vlopez24.qhealthzone.com)dissolves alot easier, it is sent through the bloodstream quicker and therefore more is abosrbed before being excreted.
And it's organic (http://vlopez24.qhealthzone.com)....that's always good right?
So I guess before running, you should take vitamins that are gonna actually be used by your body and not just passed through.
