Do dietary supplements provide energy? Why or why not? People have told me that they do, but it hasn't for me.

It Is What We Absorb That Counts
I use to take a name brand vitamin several years ago and could never tell the difference in the way I felt. I was then introduced to a "patented "liquid form that has changed my life. It is all in what we absorb. In liquid form you start absorption when it touches your tongue. Pills and capsules there is 20-30% absorption. Liquid is 95-98%.

If you want to know what it has done for me, e-mail me and I would be glad to tell you.

Energy
Mike is right when he says:
a good multi-vitamin and mineral supplement I think should come in a
liquid form. It is absorbed better by the body.

I have found a high-potency, energy formula that I have been taking and I seriously notice a difference in 20 minutes. It is in a liquid form and you know what? It actually tastes very good! It is called eq factor. If you want to know more, let me know!

"but unlike all these self interested posts above, this company does not have a "business opportunity". Just great prices... "

not only is there nothing wrong with "self interest" but there is nothing wrong with a "business opportunity" either.

Also the quoted numbers about the absorption rate are incorect. The body absorbs more of a natural source vitamin or mineral than a synthetic source. The vitamin the gentleman was marketing (the greatest vitamin in the world) is from natural sources and is one of the best. Liquids are not by nature absorbed more by the body.

Get it right next time.


By the way, I looked at the site you listed in your post relish 114 and you are a foolish fellow. You are guilty of what you complain about! You get paid in the form of a discount for every one you "refer" to your silly company.

In this forum there is something wrong with "self interest" and "business opportunities." you are not allowed to come here and advertise, or try to sell anything, or "recruit" people. It is abuse of this forum and it is absolutely not allowed.
Everyone beware of the posters with only a couple of posts that are trying to get you to use a certain product. Try what you can find in the store first. It will save you time and money.

Who is a jerk? If you are referring to me, I don't think so. I simply stated that this is not a place for self-interest or business opportunity because it is not. People get kicked off of this forum for that. This is a place for people to come and ask normal everyday people what vitamins they recommend. Not for people who sell vitamins to come here and try to sell theirs. That is all I was saying.

I did not post a code to go with the information. I was just passing along good information with the name and url of the company. No connection to me at all.

If I "did" post a code, all I would get is 50% off when I found a few other people. And I have already done that.

Say what you want. I was just passing along good info.

And by the way, hard packed pills do not absorb as well, natural or synthetic. Plus, who wants to take pills if you don't have too?

Pills
No one mentioned "hard packed pills"
the ones I use are capsules which are from natural sources. "pills" are also manufactured using heat which destroys most of the value anyway.

I also see that hotasfrick deleted his post with the offending link.

Number one hotasfrick did not ever post a link! I am one of the only ones who comes on here and tries to keep these forums clean and free of people trying to sell! If I had deleted a post, it would still be there, but under the title it would say "deleted". Since you are a new user, I will explain this to you. You can only delete the very last post that you yourself made to a certain topic, you cannot delete any of the other ones. All you can do is edit them and type "deleted"
i have never and would never post an offensive "link" I have no idea what you are even talking about. But if you insist, why don't you contact admin and get your reassurance.
Please do not post towards me anymore as I do not have time for this foolishness. And also, I am not a he!

Hotasfrick didn't put any posts with an url or recommendation re any particular brands etc, if you are going to attack someone be prepared for a comment regardless of how busy they are & don't post things that aren't true about others!! Twisted Evil

back to the original query!! Rolling Eyes do supplemants provide energy? If no why?

Everyone is different & their needs are different as is the way they "use" supplements so - both answers depend on
1) what you take
2) how much
3) what you need
4) any health issues you have
5) any meds you're on

eg I have been severely anemic since early teens at least yet no matter what sort of iron supplement (injections, foods, tablets etc) I take it most if not all goes straight through - in other words my body doesn't absorb it no matter what I do or what I take with the iron. That's me, that doesn't mean it's you - you have to try & see what works for you & for your needs & lifestyle.

Kazemaya,

i guess that despite all that study not to mention exercise & your advanced age you haven't actually learnt much about how to express yourself. Perhaps some gingko might help smarten you up so you can do more than quote what I say & then call me a fool. You have my sympathy for your lack of knowledge of anything outside of yourself. Fortunately some of us do know that there is a whole world outside of ourselves & we have some knowledge of it.

Hi purple333,

i feel like I get more energy with essential nectar. (the liquid vitamin)

it is not like "wow".. But subtle. In the late afternoon when I used to want to crash, I now don't need to. But as you said, everyone is different and I agree.

Some others I have talked to that use it say they don't need as much, or any, coffee in the am anymore.

Hope that helps you a little.

Relish114,

thanks but I have never heard of essential nectar but it may be marketed under a different name here in australia.

Still, I do keep looking & trying things in the hope that one day my iron levels & ability to absorb iron will improve. I live in hope of winning several million $$ too!! Laughing

Sorry, it is not in australia. Just the us and canada right now.


They are giving away a full month supply free bottle to new customers right now, all you do is pay shipping.


I know I have a code in this url, but I don't get anything except for another referral, and I have enough already for my 50% off discounts, but this does not work without a code... Or I would post it without the code.
