(which acts

I really do not wish to belabor this, but how do you separate your multi
vitamins
medications into water soluble (B1, B2, B12, C, etc.) from the fat soluble
(A, E,
tocopherols, etc.).
I also assume that zinc and seleniem are taken as salts because metallic
zinc is
impossible to digest, and semi-metallic selenium is very toxic.
