Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Posted February 14, 2006 Interesting. Did they compare to other vitamin preparations?I still doubt there is any long term benefit of one preparation of these chemicals over another.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Posted February 14, 2006 Granted, but I just think that the price of K-pax is hardly justified, and it's profiteering. People selling vitamins can be as exploitive as those selling prescription drugs......or worse. I agree with you on this point. K-Pax is packaged for convenience, and I think the ingredients are good, and lots of people pay for that convenience. But I also feel there are other formulas available that offer a broader range of nutrients, for a much more affordable price. I also feel since K-pax is targeted toward the HIV community it could be offered at a price that only involves a minimal profit margin. That way people that wouldn't otherwise have access to it could at least consider taking it if they chose to. Quote

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2006 Report Posted December 29, 2006 I take Super Nutrition Super Blend vitamin/mineral supplement. I buy it through www.houstonbuyersclub.com . The price from Houston Buyers Club is much affordable. If you compare the ingredients with K-Pax, Super Blend is a more comprehensive blend at a much cheaper price. I take them and love them.
