HEADS UP ON VITAMINS!

Hey ladies! I jus wanted to give yall a heads up. I just got certified as a personal trainer and in sports nutrition & learned something very intestering about vitamins. This is for any of you who are taking vitamins due to infertility issues & that also includes your DH. For example, my dh suffers from MIF issues so i have him on a regimen of vitamins to help w/ the SA results cuz we've been ttc for 6yrs now.   To test & see if the viatmins ur taking are even being put to good use, drop them into a glass of vinegar for 20 mins...if they don't dissolve then they aren't dissolving in ur stomach either. If it's a capsule then it's ok cuz they dissolve w/ no problem but even test ur energic coated pills such as fish oil, primose oil n flaxeed oil vitamins. I'm sorry to take up ur time if you already knew about the vinegar test...jus tryin to help =D
