Liquid vitamins and minerals have become a hot topic over the last several years because their health benefits and effectiveness are more and more recognized. In this post I wanted to discuss why the need for liquid nutrition supplements has become so prevalent, and why the average vitamin just doesn’t cut it any more.
If you are already a vitamin taker, then congratulations, because you are part of the estimated 40% of people that have made a choice about improving your health. There is no time like the present to start getting healthier and make better decisions about how we treat our body.
The unfortunate truth about your average hard or chewable vitamin is that you are really not getting the full benefit of the nutrients they promise to contain. Why is this? Hard vitamins are not easy to break down for the body, so they do not get absorbed into the bloodstream and sent to the cells that need the nutrients.
Recent medical research says that as little as 10% of the nutrients in vitamins are actually passed on to the bloodstream. That means that 90% of your typical vitamin is never digested. It will pass through the digestive system without ever being able to deliver on the vitamins promised health benefits.
Liquid vitamins and minerals are far superior as a nutritional supplement because the body is easily able to absorb the nutrients in the liquid state. Liquid nutritional supplements have all typical advantages linked to average vitamins, such as antioxidants and the full spectrum of vitamins and minerals. The difference is that liquid supplements are effective and actually deliver the nutrients they contain.
For many societies, lack of food is no longer an issue, but a lack of adequate minerals and vitamins still greatly affects the general health of the public. Better vitamin supplements are needed to combat this.
Let me know if you have any specific questions about liquid vitamins and minerals, and I’ll be sure to address them in latter posts.
