What do you think of the Tespo Vitamin Dispenser?

Tespo is a Vitamin Dispenser that liquifies vitamins. I curious as to what the Fitbit Community thinks of this new device? I just purchased one (have not received it yet) and am not affiliated with the company.

    I agree this sounds like a solution to a nonexistent problem. Also, I don't buy from brands that use artificial colors, so that's another problem I don't have.

    https://www.thedailybeast.com/tespo-is-the-keurig-of-vitaminsbut-does-it-work

    ...The company says the liquid eliminates “unnecessary ingredients” like artificial coloring, producing the “purest vitamins” you can take.

    ..Even more unclear is whether or not liquid vitamins are, in fact, more easily absorbed by the body. The company does not include links to any outside sources—and scientific studies on the topic are hard (if not impossible) to find.

    A lot of vitamins are not water soluble which is a problem with that concept. I mean some are and those you could dissolve but the rest the best you could do would be a suspension. Even then I'm not sure they would be absorbed unless you drank it along with a meal that had fats.

    Just eat fortified gummy bears. Almost all gummy bears are fortified now, hard to find the plain old silly kind.

    Melting them into a solid block saves time.

    Why would I spend money to liquify a pill??? Seriously, waste of money unless you have a medical condition that prevents the swallowing of anything solid, then you have bigger problems that a liquid "pill"

    I honestly can't the the point in a Nespresso machine for vitamins.

    However, more to the point I can't believe you get vitamin fortified gummy bears LOL

    So basically, a gummy without gelatin. Not worth the price or the counter space. Gummies dissolve nicely in hot liquids if you want liquified vitamins.

    I wouldn't buy it. I try to get what I can from foods. But to be fair, I can't be arsed with a Keurig either. I can't wrap my head around paying so much for something I can do for less cost and for relatively little extra effort.

    Not to mention the additional waste/trash produced by those capsule systems, since each one of those capsules/pads can only be used once.
