Every time I think of vitamins I always think of one of my favorite comedians, Lucille Ball doing her vitameatavegamin episode. That is a classic but what is great is now is that taking vitamin supplements or a multi-vitamins these days does not have to be that hard. No foul smelling or bad tasting … [Read more…]
