Although liquid supplements have typically been less tasty than sugar-coated tablets or pills, they are most definitely easier to absorb into our bodies. Many instances abound in which children have problems with retching, inhaling and sometimes choking on the tablets or pills. The same can be said for adults with jaw problems or those who have digestive problems, they don't have issues with liquid vitamins.

Since the content of liquid supplementations can be taken in by your body virtually at once, your system receives the vitamin quicker, and the ranking of absorption can be as high as 90-98%. Liquid vitamins are also 3 to 5 times more concentrated than supplemental pills, tablets and capsules and this stimulates greater bio-activity and further wellness benefits.

Do liquid vitamins also contain necessary antioxidants to ward off the damaging free radicals that damage our immune system from exposure to toxins and other elements? Absolutely! Vitamins E, C and A are antioxidants found in most multi vitamin supplements, but just as before, they are much easier and quicker in their assimilation into our bodies when in liquid form. These particular vitamins are not produced by the body so they need to be ingested in supplemental form or from eating massive quantities of fresh fruits and vegetables. Antioxidants are our primary source of fighting against the ravages of free radicals, which work to weaken our immune system.

Many people have the mistaken belief that liquid vitamins are expelled quicker by the digestive system, and the effects of stomach acids render them useless to the body. The fact of the matter is that the opposite of that theory is the truth. Our intestinal system is able to assimilate liquid variations of vitamins much quicker than pills, and if taken on an empty stomach, enters our bloodstream before it passes through our bodies as waste. There are countless stories of sewage plant workers finding countless vitamin pills in their filters that have simply passed through our bodies, unable to be digested.

Liquid vitamins are much easier on our system because it does not have to work overtime breaking down the matter that makes up most tablet or pill type vitamins. Cheaper ones are made up of much "filler" which is difficult for our systems to break down. Because liquid vitamins are not made up of a physical piece of material, there is very little for our bodies to digest, so the vitamins can enter our system virtually instantly. Digestion takes place to transpose what we ingest into substances that our bodies can easily absorb and carry to our organs via the bloodstream.

Some suggest that the levels of colloidal minerals found in vitamins and also liquid vitamins pose something of a health hazard. In fact all plants, fruits and vegetables contain trace amounts of colloidal minerals naturally. An apple for example contains 3-5 mg of Aluminum as it it is one of the more common elements found in Nature. That said, have you ever heard of anyone saying that Apples are unhealthy? You know what they say: An Apple A Day...

This is the same case with liquid vitamins. Containing trace amounts of colloidal minerals doesn't mean that it poses any risks when consuming it. Colloidal minerals, are first and foremost, part of nature's make-up -a chemical element and part of nearly everything we consume that comes from the earth. The facts are all available but, it's still your decision whether or not you would like to take your Vitamins in liquid or solid form. All that really matters is that you understand importance of vitamins and minerals to our health and make your choice based on your preference.
