Vitamins are essential to our
daily health and well-being, warding off a host of diseases and conditions and
promoting everything from eye health to prenatal wellness.
However, with pre-made dinners
and busy days, it’s not easy to ensure that you and your family are getting the
proper nutrition, making it no surprise that more and more Americans are turning
toward vitamin supplements. In fact, approximately 85 million Americans take
vitamin supplements on a regular basis.
In today’s market, vitamins come
in all shapes, sizes and forms, so how do you choose especially when it comes to
a liquid or tablet vitamin?
• Absorption: When
choosing a nutritional supplement, it’s important to consider how well your body
will be able to absorb the vitamins. For example, research has shown that
liquids absorb at a better rate than vitamins in a tablet form. That’s right,
liquids are absorbed at a 98 percent rate, while tablets at a 10-20 percent
rate. What does this mean? It means that only 10-20 percent of the nutritional
benefits of your tablet vitamin actually reach and affect your system.
This is an especially important
consideration for individuals aged 40-60 whose ability to absorb nutrients from
foods and vitamins sees a 70 to 90 percent decline.
• Easy to take:
Most adults don’t have trouble swallowing pills, but young children and aging
adults may face some difficulty. A liquid supplement could be the best solution.
• Taste:
While it may seem trivial, a
vitamin, especially in a liquid form, with a bad taste can be a major deterrent.
However, there are products, such as fruit-flavored dietary supplement drinks
that offers great taste. Others have prebiotic fiber to help the body absorb
minerals and vitamins. Source: NewsUSA |
