According to Axcan pharmaceuticals, AquADEKs were supposed to be ready for purchase online by February. I checked out their website just over a week ago and they were not yet set up for online orders. So I went to SourceCF and ordered the competitor's product. So far I'm REALLY happy with it.

The water soluble ones cannot be chewed (unless you want a REALLY nasty taste and a stained mouth). They're about as long as the traditional ADEKs, but slender. Almost like a skinny Creon. MUCH easier to swallow than the nasty dry ADEKs. They are VERY deep orangish-red. They smell vaguely similar to traditional ADEKs, but that's only noticeable if you've got the whole bottle opened under your nose.

I've been taking them now for over a week, and this may be just a coincidence, but today I noticed that my stools have been almost normal in color, which indicates that I'm definitely getting the nutrients I need from somewhere.

I'll keep y'all posted.

Just to clarify, I'm taking the SourceCF(tm) version of the multivitamin which has zinc added, not the AquADEKs (r)

Here's a link to the SourceCF softgels:

and here's one for AquADEKs
<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.aquadeks.com/order_online.php
">http://www.aquadeks.com/order_online.php
</a>
By the way, the "order aquADEKs online" function is STILL not working. I have called the company to ask if they could tell me which pharmacies in my area have them. The do not have a database with that sort of information and said I should just call around on my own.

Here's a link to SourceCF's page that has a cross comparison of the amounts of each vitamin/nutrient in the softgels as compared to others.

Here's my own list (may be repeat info...my apologies)

SourceCF Softgels (ABDEK + Zinc)

A 9000 IU (40% Palmitate, and 60%beta-carotene)
C 100mg
D 400 IU
E 200 IU
K 500mcg
Thiamin 1.5 mg
Riboflavin 1.7mg
Niacin 20mg
B6 1.9mg
Folic Acid 200mcg
B12 6 mcg
Biotin 100mcg
Pantothenic Acid 12mg
Zinc 10mg


AquADEKs

A 18,167 IU (8% Palmitate, and 92%beta-carotene)
C 75mg
D 800 IU
E 950 IU
K 750 mcg
Thiamin 1.5mg
Riboflavin 1.7mg
Niacin 20mg
B6 1.9mg
Folic Acid 200mcg
B12 12 mcg
Biotin 100mcg
Pantothenic acid 12mg
zinc 10mg
beta-carotene 10mg

The biggest difference is in the amount of Vitamin A. Personally, since I already have a bit of liver damage, it's in my best interest to stay away from high concentrations of vitamin A. I guess it's a toss up between SourceCF softgels and AquADEKs on that front. I think the ultimate deciding factors will be price and taste. (Isn't everything? ha!)

I know that this thread is already very old but I want to push it up, because we now made our first experiences with AquADEKs and want to share it with you.
We ordered AquADEKs Pediatric Liquids from Cyprus. We have to pay it from our own pocket as it is not available on the German market and therefore the insurance cannot pay it.
But we thought it is good product and so ww wanted to give it a try.

Unfortunately we got very disappointed!
The taste (and even the smell) of it is so horrible that our daughter starts spitting when we even come close to her with the spoon with Aquadeks!
Furthermore the colour ist so strong and will not get out of the clothes, even when you wash them at 60 degrees.
With this colour we uptil now ruined 4 baby pullover and one of my blouses (because she spitt it at me). It seems not a good idea to make such strongly coloured liquid for babys that are in an age when they spit all the time.

We tried everything but it is impossible to make my daughter swallow this horribly tasting liquid!

I wrote to the company and we try to send the remaining bottles back.
What a shame, we really were hoping to get an optimum vitamin supplement for our baby, but this did not work...

I wonder what were your experiences like? Did your children take it?

:-(

Hi there,

I absolutely hate AquADEKs. I was really excited for them because I hated having to chew the regular ADEKS, but these were even worse! I got horrible burning/GERD after taking them and ended up burping a vitamin taste all day. I am just not able to tolerate them at all.

I am a big fan of the SourceCF vitamins and take those now. However, I had a bottle recently with a lot of broken softgels in them, so now the rest of the bottle is covered in yucky orange stuff. But they are still way better than the AquaADEKs. Just my opinion.

It is really a shame. I wonder if there is no other way then producing this with such an ugly taste and with such strong colour that ruins your clothes and everything... :-(
