Why Take Liquid Vitamins?
Many of us believe that eating three balanced meals a
day, with the recommended servings of fruit and vegetables, will provide
us with all the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients our bodies need.
Unfortunately, that’s not true. Many of us are missing out on essential
vitamins and minerals, and we don’t even know it.
Vitamins are substances that the body needs in order to carry out all of
its functions. However, vitamins are also substances that the body
cannot make by itself – they have to be gotten from outside sources. In
the modern world, it is difficult to get all the vitamins the body needs
each day simply by eating a balanced diet with plenty of fruits and
vegetables. The fresh produce that we eat is often of low quality in
terms of vitamin content, due to the use of pesticides, long-term
storage, and poor soil quality.
This means that the best way of making sure that we get all the vitamins
and essential nutrients, each and every day, is by taking a vitamin
supplement that provides everything the body needs to maintain good
health.
In the past, vitamins have been available only in pill form, but these
days we have more options. For those of us who prefer not to take pills,
or who are aware of new evidence concerning the efficiency of different
types of vitamin supplements, liquid vitamins are the answer.
Liquid vitamins are thought by many experts to be absorbed much better
by the body than vitamins in solid form. Vitamin pills contain many
extra ingredients that the body simply does not need – chemicals like
dextrose or polyethylene glycol which help the pill keep its shape,
lubricants which make manufacturing easier, cellulose to help speed up
absorption in the body, colors, flavors (often artificial), and fillers
such as starch and salt. In your average vitamin pill, only a small
proportion of the material is actually vitamins – the rest is additives
that may actually prevent your body absorbing much of the vitamin
content.
Liquid vitamins are different. They don’t need extra ingredients to
provide bulk or adhesion, so when you take liquid vitamins, you are
getting a much more concentrated source of nutrients. And, with the
higher absorption rate that many experts believe liquid vitamins have,
your body gets all the vitamins it needs much faster, so your body has a
more consistent supply of these essential nutrients. |
