Vitamin pills digestion


Question
Can you please tell me "which" vitamin PILLS:

Beta carotene capsules
Vita E capsules (D-Alpha)(NOT the dl-Alpha)
C
B (in a multivitamin pill form)
Magnesium (the mineral) (in pill form)

are supposed to be digested "where" in the stomach?
  Are certain vitamin pills supposed to be digested in the small intestine and others in the large intestine? I'd like to know because of the enteric coating on many vitamin pills...and also the "time-delay" factor that's labelled on many vitamin bottles.
  I could be taking certain pills and wasting my money if they are not being digested in the proper place duie to the enteric coating or a coating that very much slows down (hampers) their digestion! Can you clue me in? Thanks in advance!     Wayne  

Answer
Hi Wayne,

All I can tell you is the coating, etc. is supposed to allow the nutrients to get past your stomach acid and abosorbed in the intestine.  I can't tell you which ones are large intestine or small intestine.  Visit www.toolsforlife.cc for other guidelines and let me know any further questions.
