The body infuses vitamins and minerals in a number of different ways. The food we eat is the first and the second is by taking vitamin pills which increases the amount of relevant vitamins and minerals taken. Liquid vitamins is one way of taking supplements to add to our daily diets. Are there advantages or disadvantages to taking vitamins in liquid form?
Better or Easier Absorption
Liquid vitamins are much easier to digest than vitamins in pill form, although they don't always taste very good. Children are an example where liquid vitamins and medication are used frequently.
Some adults who have difficulty with digestion of pills are also supplied with vitamins and minerals in liquid form.
Liquid Vitamins are More Effective
Liquid vitamins are infused immediately into the blood streams for a more efficient administration of the medication and its average absorption rate is 90-98%. Liquid vitamins are proven to be 3-5 times more concentrated than in pill form which leads to a higher bio-activity and increased therapeutic benefits.
The Link between Antioxidants and Liquid Vitamins
Liquid vitamins also contain oxidants - vitamins A, C and E are common antioxidants and they are often found in vitamin supplements.
Liquid vitamins have to contain antioxidants or they are not as effective as other vitamins. Vitamins A, C and E are not produced by the human body and are vital for a healthy lifestyle. They need, therefore, to be an important addition to our diets. Antioxidants act as our bodies defence against the effects of damaging oxidation reactions. Antioxidants are proven to help with any forms of cancer, improving strength and general health.
Liquid Vitamins versus Digestive Acids
A common myth is that the body using digestive acids, destroys vitamins or minerals it doesn't recognise as part of the process of digestion and this is why people don't recognise the benefits of liquid vitamins. It is actually untrue. The human digestive system prefers to digest liquid vitamins and minerals in liquid form rather than pills.
Before it can be of any benefit, a pill has to be digested completely. It needs to be broken down into digestible nutrients otherwise only up to 30% can be absorbed by our bodies. Liquid vitamins are already immediately digestible and doesn't rely on mechanical digestion - therefore 90% of it can be absorbed directly by the body.
The digestion system of the human body actually transforms vitamins and minerals into elements it can use to improve the general well being of the body.
Liquid Vitamins: Toxic or Not?
Some experts suggest that the amount of colloidal minerals found in liquid vitamins are harmful. Actually, plants and fruits contain traces of these minerals in them. Apples for example contain 3/5mg of aluminum and its one of the most plentiful elements found in Mother Earth. You are not going to hear anyone tell you that apples are bad for you!
Its the same with liquid vitamins as well. Colloidal minerals are found in liquid vitamins but it is a low and safe level and not detrimental to our health. They are minerals which are naturally occurring and are therefore unavoidable.
You Have a Choice
It is your choice whether you take liquid or pill vitamin supplements - just choose what works better for you.
