Why Liquid Multivitamins are Superior
from: John GibbIf you've visited a nutrition center you've probably come across liquid multivitamins. It may seem odd to you to be able to drink your vitamins, but it is becoming a more acceptable practice. With the number of multivitamins available, you would probably find it difficult to accept the fact that one is more superior to another. However, when you compare the benefits associated with taking liquid multivitamins you may discover that the benefits they provide slightly exceed those of multivitamins in pill form (tablets, softgels, and capsules).
When you take vitamins, do you feel confident that your body is getting the nutrients it needs? While you probably are, it may be possible that you are not. Before your body can use the nutrients found in vitamins, it has to be able to absorb them. Multivitamins in pill form are cold pressed. This process involves extracting the nutrients from fruit, seeds, and nuts with a limited amount of heat. This process is supposed to result in more of the vitamin's value being retained, however, many of the nutrients (as much as 80%!) are lost. This should catch your attention if you are on a budget (and who isn't these days), since taking a pill multivitamin can be like throwing your money away.
In contrast, liquid multivitamins retain much higher nutrient content when they are processed. In addition, it takes longer for your digestive system to digest pill multivitamins. Liquid multivitamins don't have to be digested so they are absorbed within the system a lot quicker than pills. The nutrient content in multivitamins in pill form can rival those of liquid multivitamins when they are produced using quality nutrients. These multivitamins unfortunately are very expensive to produce and are often overlooked by individuals interested in purchasing vitamins.
In addition to the method in which they are processed and how quickly they enter the bloodstream, liquid multivitamins also have a wider appeal. Many people have difficulty swallowing pills, sometimes to the point of gagging. Liquid multivitamins naturally go down easy and are available in a variety of flavors (children enjoy this aspect).
If you are completely sold on the idea of using multivitamins in pill form, you should continue to do so. Just make sure you search for those multivitamins that are made with the best quality nutrients.
