Are You Looking for a Better Vitamin?

By Brian Kearney


As liquid vitamins become more popular and more people are moving away from your traditional bulky pill vitamins it is important to know the facts about each one. I for one prefer a liquid vitamin or chewable vitamin over a pill vitamin but like the saying goes "to each his own."

So let's take a look at some of the differences between the two: we'll start with a vitamin in pill form. Pill vitamins for some can be hard to swallow and have a reputation for not being able to easily absorb in the ones bloodstream. In other words when you take a vitamin in pill form many of us believe that our bodies are not able to absorb the nutrients into our bloodstream. Some believe our body cannot break down this bulky pill and that's also why you may see this passed through when you urinate. This is your body's way of excreting the vitamins that it's unable to use.

Now let's take a quick look at liquid vitamins. Liquid vitamins for the most part are tasty, easy to swallow, and can be absorbed into your bloodstream rather quickly and efficiently. Some vitamins are in liquid form inside a bottle sold on shelves in your local stores, others will be in powder form that you can mix in a glass of cold water and the powder will dissolve in the liquid rather quickly. It's been proven your body can actually use more of the vitamins and minerals found inside a liquid substance opposed to your traditional pill.

Again I'm not a nutritional expert but I have done a lot of research in this field and of course it's always a safe bet to check with your doctor before changing your nutritional patterns. When I decided to change over to liquid vitamins it did a world wonders for me and helped me cope a little bit better with my chronic Lyme disease situation that I've been fighting for the past 10 years.

Let's take a look at liquid vitamins: for the most part they taste great they're easy to swallow and your body can easily absorb the valuable nutrients into your blood stream. I currently take a liquid vitamin derived from whole foods and organic substances. In fact my vitamin gives me over 115 different fruits and vegetables with every serving I take. I found out that 90% of us do not intake the proper amount of fruits and vegetables on a daily basis that the FDA deems healthy for our longevity.

Of course there's many reasons why this may happen but let's not focus on the negative and focus on what we can do to change that. For many of us the answer is quite simple, find a vitamin that also gives you the proper amount of fruits and vegetables with every serving. Also be sure to check out the ORAC Score. The Orac Score was developed by chemist and physician Dr. Guohua Cao the Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) is a laboratory analysis that provides an overall measure of a food's antioxidant activity. The higher the ORAC score, the greater is the food's antioxidant capacity. ORAC tests are often used to compare the antioxidant activities of different foods (fruits, vegetables, juices, wines, etc.).

When you drink a liquid vitamin or chew on a chewable your body is able to absorb the nutrients through the cheeks of your mouth, and through your stomach. When you swallow bulky pill your body has to break the pill down before it can enter the bloodstream and during the breakdown process you do wind up losing a lot of the valuable nutrients that were promised when purchasing a supplement.

One thing I can tell you for sure when I switched over to taking liquid vitamins I noticed a huge increase in energy, a major brain boost in mental capacity and overall clarity. My recommendation to you is if you're still using your traditional bulky pill vitamins why not do more research on the subject and give a liquid vitamin a try. Worse case scenario is you are not happy with the switch and you can always change back. If you have any questions on this subject please do not hesitate to contact me as always look forward to the opportunity helping people make educated decisions on their health and nutritional future.
