| what are liquid vitamins
?
Vitamins can be taken in
both pill and liquid form. Liquid vitamins are being advertised quite
zealously by those consider them to be a remarkable breakthrough of
nutrition.
The absorption of liquid vitamins starts as soon as they are swallowed. The
process is faster as compared to vitamin pills which have binders, fillers
and preservatives used to give the pill its shape and longer shelf life.
Many types of vitamins are available in liquid form like Vitamin A, Vitamin
B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin C, Vitamin K etc. Also they come in a
wide variety of flavours and also as multi-vitamins. Liquid Vitamins are
also available combined with other nutrients that makes them a versatile
source of nutrition.
Liquid vitamins are seen as an alternative for people who find pills
disagreeable for any reason like taste, difficult to swallow and digest.
This is true especially in the case of old people and children, for whom
liquid vitamins are available in a variety of flavours.
Research evidence, it is claimed by advocates of liquid vitamins, suggests
that the absorption rate for liquid vitamins is around 98% as compared to
10-20% for the pills, the reason being that liquid vitamins bypass the
digestive process and get absorbed into the blood stream and into the cell.
As against the claims made for Liquid Vitamins, there are some doubts raised
against the efficacy of liquid Vitamins. Also the legality of these claims
has been questioned and successfully challenged in court.
Liquid vitamins are not bad but there is no breakthrough or miracle involved
with them.The disadvantage of liquid vitamins is that the nutrients get
destroyed when they come in contact with the stomach acids before they can
reach the upper intestines where the absorption best happens. Liquid
vitamins can not carry enzymes in a viable form for more than a day which
reduces their potency as compared to pills which come with preservatives and
an enteric coating.
The fact is that vitamin
pills are still prescribed more regularly by doctors as compared to liquid
vitamins.
