"K+" vs "K,"  oh, but then there's K1, K2MK-7, AK-47 (just kidding)

Carbonate, citrate, oxide, gluconate, hypernate . . . or is that hibernate?

No, it's poop  mass versus bone  mass.

That's too high, that's too low, no you want this going down 

Elemental, non-elemental, ratio's . . . WAIT . . . is it in parentheses, not . . . is it what you think it is?

Morning, night, with meals, empty stomach . . . potassium-sparing wrinkle remover - what?? 

IU's, mg's, mcg's, meg's (or is it mec's?), OTC, script, powder . . .   Man, I need a drink!

 . . . pressed, capsule, oil, water missable (yeah, I know), dry, wet, sublingual, subliminal . . . uhhh 

AAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who knew I'd need a medical degree after getting the DS?  They didn't mention that in the pre-op sessions . . . I'm just sayin'

That's pretty funny, JoJo 

You did do a really good job at getting to exactly how much you have to learn just to take the right vites to stay healthy . . . and for lurkers out there, don't think she's exaggerating!!  You will need to know a lot.

Good job.  You'll get there sooner than you think for the most part, but I'm still learning new things myself, too.

  Exactly....What JoJo said.  I'm quickly becoming your biggest fan!

If you don't understand everything in this post, there is more studying and research to be done.

Thanks for the encouragment folks.  Lots more to learn, but been focusing on it I think my brain was actually getting constipated . . . wonder if Mag Oxide would help that?  Anywhoo . . . I had to let it out.

I once caught myself trying to write all of that down when i first joined the site.  Thank goodness for the bookmark feature.  It's helped me learn alot by being able to revisit threads. 

So ok, I gotta ask... what is water missable?

Okay, that is actually "water-miscible."  My understanding is that it means the pill/capsule, etc. can dissolve in water well and be absorbed (I'm still learning, so anybody correct me if I'm wrong). 

It's extremely important specifically for the naturally fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E and K.  Since we malabsorb fat to such a great degree, it would be impossible to use the standard supplements, so we must get the "dry" or "water-miscible" versions.

How'd I do?
