Found liquid vitamins on sale at Costco - good deal or cheap quality?
Hey everyone, was at Costco yesterday and saw their Kirkland brand liquid multivitamins on sale for like 40% off. Normally I'd jump on it, but got me wondering - does the lower price mean they're cutting corners on quality? Or is this just a legit steal? Anyone tried these before?
OP, I've actually used those! Not bad for a budget option when I'm bulking and going through supplements fast. They're not as potent as my usual premium brand, but for the price, decent. Check the label - sometimes store brands have fewer bioavailable forms or added fillers. If it's just for maintenance and you're not competing, could be worth it.
I'm more into natural sources myself, but my partner picked up a similar sale at Target last month. They said the texture was a bit gritty compared to the pricier ones? Might be worth checking reviews online too. Sometimes sales are just overstock, not lower quality. But if it's too cheap, I'd be skeptical about sourcing.
Before you buy, PLEASE check if they're vegan! A lot of liquid vitamins use gelatin or animal-derived D3. Costco's been better lately, but still. If they are vegan and on sale, it might be a seasonal clearance - I've scored good deals at my local pharmacy that way. Quality isn't always about price, but transparency matters.
