Value of Liquid Supplements

Value of Liquid Supplements
In todays society health is a major concern, and the
nutrition that we get from our food today is not like it
used to be. Our food today is deficient in vitamins and
minerals due to mineral-deficient soils that are common
throughout the world today. Further depletion of necessary
nutrients results from processing and cooking foods. Our
bodies need the right amounts of vitamins and minerals to
function at its peak, otherwise illness can occur. Since
the nutrients that our body needs is not coming from our
food we need to look at nutritional supplements.

Lets first take a look at why we need vitamins and
minerals. They both have different but vital functions
within our body. Vitamins control the chemical reactions
within the body to convert food into energy and living
tissue. Minerals are needed for several body functions
including building strong bones, transmitting nerve
signals, maintaining a normal heart beat, and are used to
produce necessary hormones.

Recent studies show conclusively that vitamins and minerals
work together in synergy. The lack of one of them can
sometimes interfere with another vitamin or mineral's
function. If this deficiency continues it can have profound
effects on persons health.

Knowing that we do not get the nutrition from our food more
and more people are taking supplements. Liquid supplements
are becoming increasingly popular today. One obvious
advantage to liquid is that you do not have to swallow
pills that can get stuck in your throat or leave an after
taste. Other benefits of liquid supplements are that they
have a high absorption rate and are bio-available. The
reason for this is because they are in liquid form,
therefore the body does not have to break them down.
Capsules and tablets need to be broken down first for the
body to use them and most never get broken down completely
before being passed out of the system. Studies have shown
that the body only absorbs between 10% to 20% of the
nutrients available in capsule form, while over 90% are
absorbed in liquid form.

Liquid formulation also means that you need smaller amount
of ingredients then are found in capsules and tablets. You
can also combine many different vitamins and minerals in
one supplement to give you an all in one product. This can
be done because unlike tablets and capsules there are no
filler and binders needed to keep the product together.

The availability of liquid supplements does not mean that
one can live without eating the proper food and remain
healthy. We must understand that Liquid Multi Vitamins are
not a food substitute, but only food supplements. They will
only supplement the intake of natural vitamins from our
daily diet. The proper nutritional diet is essential and
along with the use multivitamins help ensure that you are
healthy and immune to common infections.
