Benefits of Liquid Vitamins
We can take vitamins and minerals in different ways. We can get them from the food we eat. Also, we can take vitamin supplements to increase the amount of available vitamins and minerals. There are different methods of taking vitamin and mineral supplements, and one of the most common is absorbing them in liquid form. Do the advantages of liquid vitamins far outweigh their disadvantages – if there are any? Read on and decide.
Better or Easier Absorption for Kids
Although liquid vitamins may taste worse than vitamins in flavored, chewable tablet forms, they are easier to absorb. There are many cases in which children have problems with choking and swallowing. It is often because of their inability to take vitamins in tablet form.
This is the same problem for adults who have lost their ability to control their jaws or are unable to digest anything not in liquid form. Liquid Vitamins are More Effective
Because of its form, liquid vitamins can be absorbed immediately into the bloodstream for better assimilation of the vitamin. In this case, its average absorption rate can be approximately 90 to 98%. It is also three to five times more concentrated than vitamin pills, which leads to higher bio-activity and greater therapeutic benefits.
Liquid Vitamins versus Digestive Acids
One reason why people refuse to acknowledge the benefits of liquid vitamins is because of the supposed destruction by digestive acids of any vitamin or mineral that it does not recognize as part of the process of digestion. The opposite is, in fact true. Our digestive system can better absorb liquid vitamins and minerals than those made in pill or capsule form.
A vitamin pill or tablet has to be digested completely before it can benefit the human body. Otherwise, only up to thirty percent of it will be absorbed. However, liquid vitamins provide a better and easier solution for the digestive system. Because it does not depend on mechanical digestion, an estimated 90% of it can be absorbed directly by the body. Digestion does not work to destroy vitamins and minerals, but to transform them into forms that can be absorbed by the body. Liquid Vitamins: Toxic or Not?
Another problem posed is the amount of colloidal minerals found in liquid vitamins. Well, even plants and fruits contain a trace of such minerals in them. That is also the case for liquid vitamins. Containing a slight amount of colloidal mineral doesn’t mean it’s bad for our health right away. Colloidal minerals, are above all else, naturally occurring elements and can not therefore be avoided.
You Have a Choice
At the end of the day, however, it’s still up to you whether or not you wish to take vitamin supplements in liquid or solid form. What really matters is what you prefer and which will ultimately work better for you.
