Hope this helps somehow about the Multi Vitamins and coating.
This is from www.ast-ss.com
Capsules are great. I like capsules. I like capsules better than tablets. But, for a multi-vitamin/multi-mineral supplement to be optimally effective it needs to be in a tablet form.
I'll explain. When you swallow a capsule it is dissolved in the stomach and the contents are released. The contents then travel to the small intestine and are absorbed. This is usually not a problem. A multi-vitamin however, contains many delicate compounds that are can be easily destroyed by the stomach acids. If a multi-vitamin is in a capsule form, many of the nutrients will never make it to the small intestine for absorption and utilization.
By constructing Multi-Pro 32X with this important design criteria in mind and incorporating a specialized coating so it will pass through the stomach and be released in the small intestine unharmed, we are able to formulate a fully functional and fully absorbable multi-vitamin/multi-mineral that is far superior to capsule formulas.
