I probably couldn’t count the number of times I’ve been asked why our supplements don’t dissolve in vinegar and so I thought I would address the question in a short blog.  Usually a customer will call and say they have been told that if a supplement doesn’t dissolve in vinegar, then it’s not going to dissolve in their stomach and therefore it’s not going to do them any good.  Then they tell me that they placed one of our tablets into a bowl of vinegar and it has been there for hours without dissolving.  The sad thing is that some people probably don’t call for clarification and they therefore miss out on some of the best supplements they could take to maintain health.

MegaFood supplement are whole food – this means that each tablet consists of fresh whole foods like carrots, broccoli, nutritional yeast, oranges and more, that have been gently dried and lightly compacted into a tablet.  If you took a small amount of any one of these fresh foods and placed it in a bowl of vinegar you could leave it there for days and it would not dissolve.  When we ingest foods the body responds by producing acid within the stomach; and this serves to activate digestive enzymes.  These enzymes are catalysts which begin the process of breaking down the food into its constituent nutrients so that they may be absorbed and assimilated further down the digestive tract.  Vinegar plays no roll whatsoever in the process.  MegaFood supplements deliver nutrients in their natural form which means they will break down in the normal process.  They will be digested and assimilated without requiring any unnatural contortions by your body.

I would add that, if your supplement does dissolve in vinegar then this should give you pause for thought.  Ask yourself what is actually in that supplement to make it act in this unnatural fashion?  It is more than likely that the nutrients are chemical or synthetic fractions. Is this something you really want in a supplement you are taking to improve your health?
