Guest guest Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 There would have to be a more accurate way of testing the breakdown, a cold cup of water doesn't measure up to the hot acidic stomach. I avoid any vitamins in gelatin caps and I buy vegetarian friendly from the health food store. I trust those. True Judy, if you place a piece of apple in a cup of water for 24 hrs it will still look like a piece of apple, yet your stomach will digest the apple slice in a short period of time.
