You already know that your body needs vitamins. This is especially true for Antioxidants like vitamin A, C and E because your body can not produce these on its own.
You are probably also aware, that for most people, the nutrients you get in food is not enough. In today's "fast food", grab and run, fast food environment, a supplement is probably needed for ultimate health.
Liquid Vitamin A
But with the wide array of options available, it can be tough to settle on which approach to take. Not only in brands, but in format. Vitamins are available in both liquid and solid forms. And by the end of this article, you will know why taking them in a liquid form may be a better option for you.
One of the biggest advantages of taking a supplement over trying to get your nutrition fully out of the food you eat, is control. In a vitamin supplement, the amount of the vitamin is strictly controlled. You know exactly how much your body is getting. At least the minimum about you receive.
But this is only true if your body has the chance to absorb the controlled amount. And this is where liquids really shine.
I remember a number of years ago talking to a person who used to clean up out houses for a living. You know the old "drafty long drop" you see in campgrounds?
He told me that when they were cleaning these out, they would be full of vitamin pills. Some of them were so undigested you could still read the imprint of what they were.
Disgusting, I know. But think about it. Here is a person who thinks they are getting 100% of the recommended daily allotment of vitamin C or whatever. But the pill is passing right through them, without leaving even a trace.
Some of these "commercial" vitamins never break down.
But, if you are getting your supplements in liquid form, your body has a chance to absorb every drop. And use it the way it needs to in order to give you the health benefits.
There is also a safety advantage in taking liquid form supplements. Especially in children. There are many, many cases of children choking on large pills. Actually, even I have had trouble swallowing some of the "horse pills" they try to sell these days.
Even if I manage to get it "down the hatch", I can feel it for up to an hour afterwords. Not a pleasant feeling. I am sure as an adult, you can relate. And for many older people it can even be a bigger problem.
One thing to keep in mind, with liquid vitamins however is they may not taste that great. This can make it more difficult to give to children. And to get into the habit of taking yourself.
Fortunately, many companies are blending their liquid vitamins in ways which make them much more palatable. Or even down right tasty.
There are also rumors that stomach acid may break down the liquid vitamins so they are not effective. But, in actuality, this rumor is unfounded, and liquid has been proven more effective than solid.
Ultimate health depends on putting the right things into your body. And this generally means adding a supplement.
And while both will give you value, liquid may be a better choice for most people.
It is safer to drink than choking down pills. And they are absorbed better into the body. The "taste" concerns can be addressed by purchasing a liquid in a form that is blended with great tasting juices or other ingredients.
When adding supplements like antioxidants into your health routine, you should strongly consider using a liquid version. They are easy to find, but make sure you deal with a reputable company.
The "right" liquid vitamin will taste great and will be a healthy part of your new daily routine.
