Are Liquid Vitamins and Minerals Better Than Tablets?

Vitamins and minerals and nutrients are absorbed by the body in a several ways. They first enter our body through the food we eat. Because of poor nutrition due to many factors, such as eating habits and choices, preservatives and chemicals that are added to the food we consume, the abundance of convenient fast food restaurants, the way we prepare our foods and even the lack of nutrients in the soil our food is grown in, it is important to add supplements to increase the amount of pertinent vitamins, minerals and nutrients our body receives. You can take these supplements in pills or capsules or you can add a liquid supplement to your diet.

Liquid vitamins are easier to swallow, go down quickly and are more easily absorbed by the body. They are easier for both children and adults. There are many types of liquid vitamins. You can get specific vitamins as well as several together.

Liquid Vitamins are More Effective

Because of its form, they can be assimilated immediately into the blood stream for a more systemic administration of the vitamin. They are also more concentrated than vitamin pills and this can lead to greater therapeutic benefits.

Liquid Vitamins And Digestive Acids

Many people believe vitamins in liquid form are destroyed by digestive acids. But the opposite is actually true. Our digestive system prefers or is better able to absorb this form of vitamin and mineral rather than those in pill or capsule form.

A vitamin pill or tablet has to be broken down into absorbable nutrients only a small percentage will be absorbed by the human body. Liquid vitamins actually provide an easier solution for the digestive system.

Many companies manufacture the liquid form of these vitamins and you can take specific, individual vitamins or you can take them in combinations. Many companies create them in a juice or shake form and these are probably the easiest to consume because they actually taste good.

Ultimately, the choice is yours as to whether you want to take liquid vitamins and minerals but the benefits and their ability to be taken easily is worth a second look.
