Also do you take many supplements or just a multi-vitamin? When taking pills you can only put some much into a pill and some people want more than just one or two vitamins. Most pills do contain many fillers, binders and chelating agents etc. In other words in order to get all the vitamins that you can get in one high quality liquid multivitamin you would need to take 12 or more pills per day. It takes as little as half an ounce to get all you need from a high quality liquid multivitamin plus you get many more vitamins, fruits,  minerals, vegetables and plant extracts then you can get from taking various pills.  So do you want to take many pills per day or just take one liquid multivitamin. Now for people who just need a few supplements here and that pill form will be just fine.

Another key to liquid vitamins is that there are many who have issue swallowing pills. The main advantage of liquid vitamins is that fact that they are absorbed quickly since the body does not need to break down the solid so say this makes them much more effective.

Liquid supplements do come with their set of setbacks. One issue is that these vitamins in liquid form do not keep their potency as well as in pill form. Also in liquid form, supplements do not contain the enzymes that aid in the absorption of the nutrients. These enzymes are not in liquid form due to the fact that the effectiveness only last for a day or two.

The best place for vitamins to be absorbed is at the start of the small intestine. There are claims that a lot of the key components contained in liquid form vitamins are destroyed by the stomach acid before it gets to the small intestine. Pills on the other hand have a coating to keep them from being completely broken down before reaching the ideal target spot.

People today always think that faster is better hence them leaning towards liquid vitamins. In terms of vitamins this is a proven fact.  The timing for which a vitamin is absorbed doesn’t have much relevancy.

When talking health we’d like to think we know what’s best but we need to let time settle this debate. In the meantime do what makes sense for you and if you have questions speak to your doctor before going out and spending a bunch of doe on vitamins.
