Just read in a Men's Health article...
To check to see if a vitamin will be digestable
"Drop a tablet into a cup of warm vinegar and swish it around. If the vitamin hasn't dissolved into tiny peices within 30 minutes, it probably won't break down in your stomach, either. Worthless."

Neat test to see if you're vitamins are OK or as useless as a stone.

Peace.

Never play leap frog with unicorns....they cheat.:)

If you want to test it before you buy it, one simple way is to see if it's made with calcium phosphate as a tableting agent (they get to list it as calcium and phosphorous, too, but they don't tell you that it doesn't dissolve).

I've tested them in water before, but never vinegar.

But I know at least the B vitamins in my multivitamin work, because after I take one my pee is bright yellow!

I've done the water test as well, but never in vinegar. In water you just drop it in the water and let it sit there. then, within a certain time your saposed to see gold rising from the pill. something like. I'll probably give it a try with vinegar for the hell of it.
