Welcome to Gaia! ::

I take a daily vitamin pack called Maximin Pack Maximum Strength for Men and Women. It's from Nature Made. After reading the box (I read everything on anything I take in or use...it's an odd habit) I realized there are 5 calories in the vitamins I'm taking. Now, 5 calories is nothing, easily burnt off, no biggy. My question here is, though, where are these calories coming from?

The pack contains one of each of the following:

Balanced B-100 Timed Release
Vitamin C 1,000 mg with Rose Hips
Vitamin E 1,000 IU
Calcium 500 mg
Vitamin A & Vitamin D (it's one pill)
Multivitamin/Multimineral with Lutein

Ah, ok. Thanks. =]

Although, I must say, they're anything but palatable gonk I take them with diet coke to avoid getting sick.
But, I'm guessing it may be the capsule for the vitamin E. It looks like this:

It's from the Vitamin E, I believe.
Vitamin E is primarily an oil (good for you!) and oil is fat. The small amount really doesn't matter but yes, it's a mix of the Vitamin E and also the fact that they "dilute" the vitamins in corn-starch like material to form the pill which has minimal calories as well.
