Overall Results:
Aside from the liquid formula VITAPELN COMPLETE, the results are disappointing.
Many of the major manufacturers of pill and powder form vitamins should take a hard look at their
formulas and consider increasing the ingredients where they are
falling short. In particular, most formulas should provide you wholesome
nutrition, not just the basic vitamins and minerals. There is additional
room for improvement and we suggest that manufacturers consider providing
whole body nutrition rather than just the basic vitamins and minerals.
Our Recommendation: BUY LIQUID
Because of all of the above reasons, we highly suggest
VITAPELN COMPLETE above all other brands. Of the brands that we
have examined, only VITAPELN COMPLETE has a total of 165 nutrients,
vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and whole food extracts, in an advanced liquid formula. Try getting
that from your average vitamin, which may have only 20
or 30 vitamins/minerals and up to a 35% absorption rate (click here for more information on the differences between liquid vs. pill form). VITAPELN COMPLETE is light years above your average single pill multivitamins because you get a more complete
and broad spectrum of ingredients, faster and higher absorption (up to 95%), low cost and
the convenience of delivery right to your mailbox, always with FREE SHIPPING.
Commercial Availability:
You can order VITAPELN COMPLETE online at WWW.VITAPLEN.COM.
They offer free bottle promotions, free shipping and a 90-day money back guarantee.
