Question
Suzanne
       I have had gastrointestinal problems all my life .I have learned that the nutrients in food are destroyed before getting into the small intestines where their suppose to be absorbed by the body .So i heard this idea and read some of putting my supplements under my tongue.to be absorbed that way which bypasses the stomach where the nutrients are destroyed .What do you have to offer here i have wrote the FDA and several gov. agencies and they dont want to touch this some say theyve never heard of this others say yes .What do you think (i wrote them also about the use of transdermal vitamins and no answer George  

Answer
Hi - I remember a similar question I posed to Shaklee science(my company) about spray vitamins and I will revisit your ? with them...   From what I know; however; the products I believe that we have seen work wonders and I would suggest you try are Optiflora and EZGest.   You can read more about them at my website at http://www.shaklee.net/integrativewellness   I do know that Shaklee's nutritional supplements break down very quickly and this may be some of your challenge.   If you haven't ever tried Shaklee, I encourage you to try -- they are all guaranteed your money back if you don't like the results.   It has been over ten years since I have used any other supplement so I can only recommend this to you.   Hope this is somewhat helpful and I will get back with you if I find out further info.   Best,  Suzanne
