Why Take Liquid Vitamins
Something like 40% of adults take supplements but liquid vitamins aren’t the leader in the marketplace. They should be. They are much more effective at delivering the nutrients and minerals to your system, and it’s much easier to swallow a few ounces of delicious liquid than try to force a huge pill down your throat.
If you are already sold on the benefits of adding vitamins and minerals to your diet but dislike having to swallow the “horse pill” form they come in, there are alternatives such as powder, soft-gels, drops and liquids.
Don’t Forget to Take Your Vitamins
Like you, I’m in good shape and try to eat right but I can’t always get the fruits and vegetables I like in season – and with the cost of oil, gas, and food going up, even eating well has become expensive. If you find you aren’t eating all the best things as you should, liquid vitamins are all the more important if you want to maintain good health.
As a woman, I have enough to deal with taking calcium and glucosamine daily and don’t want to take yet another large tablet or capsule. I tried different brands of liquid vitamins but was never sold on any – again, because of the price more than anything.
Then a friend of mine suffering from sciatica who was not able to eat due to pain said that her doctor recommended Triple Boost Energy soft-gels as well as liquid green multi-vitamins – both by Irwin Naturals. They were easy for her to take and she made the switch from store brand vitamin pills immediately.
That lead me to get back into liquid vitamins which I had known all along were better for me than pills.
Advantages of Liquid Vitamins
Let’s look at the advantages of liquid vitamins over pill forms:
- Studies show that some vitamin pills not only don’t get absorbed by your system they don’t dissolve at all. In fact, some studies show that most of the vitamins nutrients are not actually being absorbed into your body. Pills only achieve a 10-20% absorption rate; liquid supplements achieve a 98% absorption rate.
- Liquid vitamins are absorbed in your system in as little as three minutes vs pills which can take several hours. Even chewable vitamins do not have the same maximum absorption as the liquid form.
- Tasty! Liquid vitamins are of course easy to swallow and the tastes, such as raspberry, are excellent.
How Much Should You Pay?
There are MLM scams that sell “miracle” liquid vitamin packages such as the Andy Willoughby 3-step-plan Xango Juice (“How in the world are you anyway?) but there’s no reason on earth to pay $35 for a jug of fruit juice. And it won’t cure cancer and other such suchness.
Even if it were actual liquid vitamins, paying a higher price does not mean a better product, it just means more profit for the maker … and the top levels of the pyramid scheme.
(You can, however, pay more for better quality vitamin pills which have enteric coating, the same dissovable system used in pharmaceutical-grade tablets for medicines.)
Don’t think that the liquid form is more expensive; it’s actually less expensive when you realize that it’s effective – you get more bang for your buck. For excellent liquid vitamins at an affordable price, compare prices at Amazon, ebay (if you can trust the seller), or go to online stores such as Bodybuilding.com that sell volumes of such products so they can offer great prices and low cost shipping.
Not being someone of great wealth, it was key for me to find a multi-vitamin in liquid form that averaged out to less than $1 per day. I started taking Nutrition Bounty Liqui Vites (16 oz bottle = $17.89) that has 32 servings, or about 56 cents per day. (It comes in raspberry or strawberry – both delicious and highly recommended.)
Which Brands to Buy?
For performance and price – check out Nutrition Bounty, PureForm, and even Trace Minerals Maxi Multi Drops.
Face it, you’ve avoid taking vitamins because you hate taking pills. Try a liquid vitamin – you’ll love the taste and the convenience. And the price isn’t bad either.
