Blending supplements together?

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I need to know if it is ok to blend all/some of my supplements with

juice/vitaming water/protein drink. So I can drink this through out

the day and get several doses easily. One of the things I hate is the

taste and smell of all these supplements pills which make me seek after

a while.

Do you think there could be a reaction? I plan to blend:

- Multi Minerals (all)

- Vitamin C, B

- Maybe E

Which supplements I should not blend?

Thank you

TK--- this will cause many of the supplements to oxidize. I would

suggest getting a pill organizer and make up the different doses you

need to take during the day/week and take them in pill or capsule

form.

DA: From what I remember, taking Vitamin E with minerals can bind it

where you dont get the optimnum results.... my ND said to always take

vitamins with food... eat a bit and then take a couple, eat some more

bites, etc.

I take my minerals [ largest dosing] at 9pm at nite because it makes me

sleepy by 10pm; I take them a little earlier when on round so I can get

a little more sleep time in before waking for my midnite dose.

Hope this helps! / DA

Life Extension sells a powdered multi you might want to check out,

http://www.lef.org/newshop/items/item00946.html

if you want to take supplements this way. This has just about everything in

it -- you'll have to check the formula to see if it has anything you don't

want to take in it. The taste is not bad at all, and you can mix it when you

like. Could be useful.

Hello, Claudio

I have been blending a variety of about 25 pills, capsules (taken out of the

caps),oils and powders like whey and flax for the last 3 years.

I finally went to a Vitamix last year because I was burning out the regular

ones within 6 months.

I use a base of V8 juice and any berry anti-oxidant juice and then add some

fresh vegetables and/or fruit

It takes me about 10 minutes to get it ready and a minute to drink. It holds

me until lunch without getting hungry or getting any sugar lows.

I would highly recommend this system to anyone who is detoxing. And you are

right about it killing the bad taste of some of the herbal nutraceuticals.

You can blend them, but watch B com...it taste terrible and I find

it better to just swallow it. Usually, if I put it in a shake or

juice it overpowers the whole thing and it is Yuck!

Dont put your whole days' worth of doses in one shake. You want one

dose worth. Then later on in the day more..you want frequent doses

maybe three to four times a day. Otherwise your body just dumps most

of and only take the little bit it needs from the one large dose.
