What's Wrong with My Kid's Vitamins??

Have you ever noticed black spots on your children's vitamins? It doesn't matter if it's a generic brand or a name brand like Flintstones. After about 2-3 weeks, these little black spots show up on the vitamins. What the heck is that?!?!!! Is it mold? I have no freaking clue! But I do know one thing! I can't afford to keep throwing them out. Guess its research time!!

I found several sites that said it was oxidation of the iron in the vitamins. Hmmmm! That actually sounds reasonable! So, thanks for the info. But, what the heck can I do about it? None of the sites offered a solution to the problem. Guess I'm going to have to figure it out on my own!

But, at least now I have a cause for the problem. That's all I need to get the hamster moving on the wheel! Run Hammy Run!! Got it!! What causes oxidation? Water/Moisture! Get rid of the moisture & get rid of the oxidation!! So, how can I keep the moisture out of the vitamin bottle? Bingo!! I put rice in the salt shaker. Why can't this work here?

So, I put about a tablespoon of rice into a new bottle and crossed my fingers. Six weeks later and no black spots!! Happy Dance!! Give it a try for yourself!! Rice is cheap! Certainly cheaper than throwing out half a bottle of vitamins!
