Found liquid vitamins on sale at Costco - too good to be true?
Yo, just got back from Costco and they have these liquid vitamins on sale for like 40% off. Brand is Nature's Blend or something. Normally I'd be all over that but the price seems too low. Are these legit or am I buying watered-down junk? I usually stick to capsules but liquid is supposed to absorb better right? Any of you tried these?
I've seen those at Target too, not on sale though. From what I remember, liquid vitamins can be hit or miss. The cheap ones sometimes have fillers or less actual vitamin content. But Costco usually vets their suppliers, so it might just be a bulk discount. Check the label for % daily value and serving size. If it's comparable to others, you're probably fine. Also, does it need refrigeration? That could affect potency.
I'm not a vitamin expert but I do a lot of nature photography and sometimes take liquid vitamins for energy on long hikes. I've tried a few brands. The cheaper ones often taste worse and sometimes have a weird aftertaste. But if it's from Costco, you can always return it if you don't like it. Their return policy is super lenient. Just make sure it's not expired or close to it. I'd say go for it, worst case you get your money back.
Thanks for the input, guys. I checked the label and it's 100% DV for most stuff. No refrigeration needed. I think I'll grab a bottle. If it tastes like crap, I'll just mix it in a smoothie. For 40% off, it's worth a shot.
Let us know how it goes. I might swing by Costco this weekend if it's still on sale. Also, check the expiration date - sometimes sale items are short-dated. If it's more than 6 months out, you're golden.
