I did these supplements tests myself at home. You can try it too!

Multi-vitamin artificial color test

test_multi_vitamin_supplements



I put my vitamin supplements tablets into a glass of water, leave it for 30 minutes.Observe if it colorise the water or color coating drops off.

Picture 'A' shows at the start of the test of brand X (left) and brand Y (right) multivitamin tablet. Picture 'B' shows that after 10 minutes, brand X's artificial color coating (red) started to come off. Brand Y show the natural green color being released. According ti the manufactuer of brand Y multi-vitamin, there is no artificial color added.

Needless to say, brand X artificial color shows up.



Multi-vitamin disintegration test

Picture 'C' is taken after 40 minutes into the test. Brand X's white coating is revealed and 'cracked'. I doubt the white coating is digestible by your body.

Brand Y almost fully disintegrated afte 40 minutes.

I stirred the water. Brand Y distingrated completely while brand Y left with flakes of artificial color coating and white coating.

My coclusion: Brand Y is a better vitamin supplement. It pass the criteria of artificial color test and disintegration test. Brand X abviously did not.

Now that you can see a simple test like this can help you to differential the quality of the vitamin supplements you eat. Take control, choose a responsible manufacturer to get the best vitamin supplements for yourself.

Calcium/Magnesium disintegration test

You can do the same test for Calcium/Magnesium vitamin supplements table. You can either use water or veniger.

I did it using veniger and capped the tube with baloon. The effervescence (picture A)of brand Y(on the right) pushed the ballon up. While not much happening to brand X even after 30 minutes later (picture C).

The disintegration test simply shows that brand Y is easily disintegrate in your digestive system.
