Liquid Vitamins Product Reference
(Product Reviews Below)

Our Recommendation:
Because of all of the above reasons, we highly suggest Vitaplen Complete above all other brands. Of the brands that we have examined, only Vitaplen Complete has a total of 165 nutrients, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and whole food extracts. Try getting that from your average once a day vitamin, which may only have 20 or 30. Vitaplen Complete goes light years beyond your average “once a day” single pill multivitamins because you get a more complete and broad spectrum of ingredients, faster absorption, low cost and the convenience of delivery right to your mailbox, with no additional shipping fees.

Here we compare the ingredients of Vitaplen Complete (our gold standard) against some of the other most popular brands available.

Overall Results:
Aside from Vitaplen Complete, they were disappointing. Many of the major manufacturers should take a hard look at their formulas and consider beefing up the ingredients where they are falling short. In particular, most formulas should provide you wholesome nutrition, not just the basic vitamins and minerals. There is additional room for improvement and we suggest that manufactures consider providing whole body nutrition rather than just the basic vitamins and minerals.

Commercial Availability:
You can order Vitaplen Complete online at http://www.vitaplen.com/. They infrequently run special offers for free shipping, so you can save a little extra there as well.

To Keep in Mind:
By now, you are either taking vitamins for yourself already or have decided that the benefits of taking your vitamins daily is the key to a healthy, and more vibrant you. But questions still remain. What kind of vitamins do I take? What dosages? How many? Why should I have to pay for dozens of individual vitamins instead of just taking a single multivitamin? Fortunately, we have searched long and hard and come up with a solution. We have done this research for you, so you do not have to spend hundreds of dollars a month on dozens of different pills that you have to swallow daily. Can you imagine swallowing as many as 10 or 12 pills a day, just to get your vitamins? Buying that many vitamins a month could cost you $200 or more. But read on, you are about to be let in on the dirty little secret that pills have that almost nobody will tell you.

You can only put a very small amount of ingredients into a pill. Why? Think of a pill as if it was a nearly full suitcase. The pill is the suitcase and the inside is full of clothes and everything else you need for your trip. The only space left is for the things you buy when you get where you are going. This is the space available to put actual active ingredients (such as vitamins) inside the pill. Everythign else is needed to keep the pill stable (or to get you where you are going).

Because of this, as much as 80% of a pill can be fillers, binders, chelating agents and film coatings. In order to get the amount of vitamins that you can get with a high quality liquid multivitamin, you would need to take at least 10 pills a day. Why swallow 10 or more pills a day when you can take as little as half an ounce of a high potency liquid multivitamin and get more vitamins, minerals, fruit, vegetable and plant extracts than you could get by taking dozens of pills? It just doesn’t make sense, but day after day people take a basic “once a day” multivitamin and believe they are getting everything they need. I hate to break it to you, but you aren’t.

Not only do people not get the vitamins they really need, they fail to absorb the vitamins they take due to the vitamin being sold in a solid, pill form and then they get stuck with paying the full retail price for all of these vitamins because they buy it in a retail store that has to pay for overhead, employees, a physical store and more. Why not get all of your vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, whole food extracts and more, together in one great tasting and inexpensive product, delivered direct to your door without even paying for shipping? Oh and what if you could get all of this for fewer than sixty five cents a day, delivered right to your mailbox?
