Whole vitamin in bowel movement?

What does it mean to have a whole vitamin come out in the toilet? Embarrasing but curious enough to know if this has ever happened to anyone else and if anyone knows why.
Thanks

Re: Whole vitamin in bowel movement?

i would say you aren't digesting...your stomach acids aren't breaking it down, or its expired and no good and isn't being absorbed before you pass it.

I have wondered about this myself. Most one a day vitamins come in a hard tablet and I've always wondered if it actually breaks down. I have heard reports that it is not uncommon for it not to. I found one product that was a gel cap at the HFS but it had iron in it, which wasn't good for me. I do think that a lot of money is probably being wasted because we are ingesting things that are not actually being absorbed.

Re: Whole vitamin in bowel movement?

I have heard that many brands of vitamins won't absorb at all, this coming from waste treatment facilitys, who see vitamins floating around in the sewage. I would do some research in vitamen supplements , try forums. hope this has helped.

I would'nt beleive that for 1 minute. How would the treatment facility workers know if they were vitamins or not? this is getting out of hand. Just try taking a B complex hard capsule. If you pee flourescent yellow- then chances are- the vitamins are breaking down and being absorbed.
