Vitamins and minerals can be
absorbed by the body in a number of
ways. They first enter our body
through the food we eat. Secondly,
we can take vitamin supplements to
increase the amount of pertinent
vitamins and minerals. There are
different methods of taking
medication and one of the most
common methods is absorbing it in
its liquid form. Do the advantages
of liquid vitamins far outweigh its
disadvantages – if there are any?
Read on and find out.
Better or Easier
Absorption for Kids
Although liquid vitamins may taste
worse than vitamins in flavored,
chewable tablet forms, they are
however easier to absorb. There are
numerous cases in which children
have problems with choking,
breathing and swallowing simply
because of their inability to absorb
medication or vitamins in this form.
This is the same problem as well
for adults who have lost their
ability to control their jaws or are
unable to digest anything that is
not in liquid form.
Liquid Vitamins are More
Effective
Because of its
form, liquid vitamins can be
assimilated immediately into the
blood stream for a more systemic
administration of the vitamin and
its average absorption rate is
approximately 90 to 98%. It is also
three to five times more
concentrated than vitamin pills and
this lead to higher bio-activity and
greater therapeutic benefits.
The Link between
Antioxidants and Liquid Vitamins
Have you ever wondered whether or
not liquid vitamins contained
oxidants as well? Vitamins E, C and
A are examples of antioxidants and
they are commonly found in vitamin
supplements but what about liquid
vitamins?
Benefits of Liquid
Vitamins
And the answer is an absolute
YES. Liquid vitamins must in fact
contain such antioxidants or they’ll
prove to be ineffective compared to
other vitamins. Remember that the
most important of all antioxidants –
Vitamins A, C and E – are not
internally produced by the body so
they must be a regular fixture in
our diet. Antioxidants are our main
defense against effects of damaging
oxidation reactions. Antioxidants
are one of the best weapons against
suffering from any form of cancer.
Without it, we are basically weaker
and less healthy.
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
actually prefers or is able to
better absorb liquid vitamins and
minerals rather than those made in
pill or capsule form.
