Inhalable Vitamins

With the arrival of the world's first inhalable vitamin, "LeWhif Vitamin", there may no longer be any need to swallow vitamins. LeWhif was debuted in the UK around a month ago and is expected to be available in the US within a few weeks. LeWhif Vitamin was created by David Edwards, a biomedical engineer from Harvard who also invented inhalable chocolate, inhalable coffee, and inhalable insulin. Edwards claims that because the inhalable vitamin delivers a quick burst of fine vitamin powder with each turn of the device, the vitamin powder effectively bypasses the digestive system. Therefore, this form of vitamin intake is claimed to deliver a more concentrated does of nutrients directly into the body's bloodstream. The inhalable vitamins come in three flavors: "Antioxidant Green Tea, Age Smart Wine Tea, and Hibiscus Tea". While the proper method of inhaling a whiff of vitamin powder takes some practice, many people have claimed that the process is quite refreshing once one becomes accustomed to it. At this point, the only obvious problem with LeWhif Vitamins is that they are very expensive and limited in selection.

This article seemed interesting to me because I am personally not fond of taking huge vitamin pills every morning, and the idea of directly inhaling my vitamins is somewhat appealing.
