LIQUID GBG VITAMINS, LIFE SOLUTIONS LIQUID SUPER MULTIVITAMINS AND MINERALS
The best form of liquid vitamins are the GBG 10-in-One Liquid Multi Formula, due to their high content of necessary vitamins and minerals, but also because they include NINE additional formulas for maximum health. GBG liquid vitamins are well suited for children, adults, bariatric patients, diabetics, etc. GBG liquid vitamins have no sugars, no calories, no carbs, and are made of all natural ingredients. Liquid vitamins begin working in your body in 3-5 minutes, whereas pill vitamins take 2 hours or more to dissolve before they can be useful. About 98% of liquid vitamins are absorbed by the human body, while pill absorption is significantly less.
UPDATE of 1-6-2009
- I do appreciate your interest in GBG liquid vitamins. I had RNY surgery in May, 2006, and found GBG to be a very good liquid vitamin, that was absorbed easily and offered a very good value at $19.95 per month. As an ethical person, I’d like to make you aware of some things. I am ceasing to be a GBG distributor in January, 2009, for the following reasons:
- GBG increased the cost of their vitamins by $10 a month on August 1, 2009, yet made major decreases in it's nutritional value at the same time. More money, less vitamins at the same time? Not good.
- CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS? Another price increase the first week in July, 2010. New price is $39.97
- GBG has drastically changed its formula over the past year, decreasing the nutrients.
- I initially joined the GBG company in September, 2007, as this vitamin seemed to be the very best liquid I could find for bariatric patients, or for the general public.
- GBG can only be ordered by auto-shipment, and many clients are reluctant to have a charge automatically placed on their credit or debit card every month.
- The flavor of GBG has been changed 3 times since May, 2007. The original flavor was very good, then a formula change resulted in a green colored vitamin that tasted horrible. A newer flavor since then is more tolerable.
- GBG decided to change from calcium citrate (best form) to the lesser expensive coral calcium. Calcium citrate is the BEST form of calcium for bariatric patients due to better absorption.
- GBG has decreased the trace mineral levels from 100mg to 5mg per serving.
- Zinc, Selenium, Copper, Manganese, Chromium, and Potassium have been removed from their formula.
- Decreased mg levels in their energy blend.
- Decreased number of ingredients in the Fruit & Vegetable blend.
- Sorbitol is used in their formula. This is a sugar alcohol not tolerated by some people, especially those who have had weight loss surgeries.
- GBG used to claim an ORAC score (rating system for antioxidants) of 2500. They make no claims to the level of antibiotics in their current literature.
- GBG has delayed shipments at least twice, resulting in delivery delays of 10 to 21 days, prompting complaints from my clients.
- Due to GBG’s several changes in it’s commission package, my income from these vitamins has dropped from about $185 to under $50 per month, with about the same number of clients.

I began working with Epic Ultra liquid Vitamins, which was an excellent product. But, as of mid- October, 2010,
, Epic Ultra vitamins are no longer produced. I had several phone calls and emails at that time, from customers who could no reorder their liquid vitamins. I spent several days searching for a replacement liquid vitamin of equal or better value. Luckily, I was able to find a local pharmacist, with over 34 years experience, who has developed a high quality product. It's called Life Solutions Liquid Super MultiVitamins and Minerals
. Great formula, family owned business, and formulated by a pharmacist who knows how well liquid supplements and medicines are absorbed by the human body. The company also carries a line of about 30 other liquid supplements. Life Solutions produces the exact same products, sold as Dr's Advantage Liquid Supplements, which are commonly sold through doctor's offices. If like products are sold by medical offices of doctors, this is an added assurance of a quality product. The liquid vitamins and other liquid supplements are available for ordering through www.liquidbariatricvitamins.com
- Why take these?
When you can take one TBSP of
Life Solutions Liquid Super MultiVitamins and Minerals. Excellent vitamin levels, high levels of trace minerals, 7g sugar (from fruit juice) and 9g carbs (from fruit juice), 37 calories, high antioxidant levels, vitamin D3, calcium citrate, and more.

These vitamins are made developed and made by a pharmacist, assuring higher quality. Both have same basic vitamin levels. The Mega has a couple of berry flavor extracts omitted in manufacturing--this is the reason for the discount.
