Are You Looking for a Better Vitamin?

By Brian Kearney


One of the major questions Google by many people on a daily basis are: Are liquid vitamins better than pill vitamins? And in this article we're going to take a look at both. First of all let's look at some of facts we know about your traditional bulky pill vitamins. Pill vitamins are among some the easiest vitamins to find on the shelf at your local store. They come in all shapes and sizes and are even split into different categories for men and women. Many of these vitamins are synthetic meaning they're made by man and are not derived from whole foods although that doesn't mean they all aren't. Not all vitamins are created equal though.

I think one of the major debates between liquid vitamins and pill vitamins comes down to the absorption rate. How easily can my body absorb the vitamins that I'm putting into it? Here's one thing we know for a fact: when taking vitamins in pill form our body must break down the vitamin before it can be absorbed into our bloodstream. And during that breakdown process we actually lose a lot of the valuable nutrition were promised when purchasing the supplement.

Now let's take a quick look at liquid vitamins. Liquid vitamins for the most part are tasty, easy to swallow, and can be absorbed into your bloodstream rather quickly and efficiently. Some vitamins are in liquid form inside a bottle sold on shelves in your local stores, others will be in powder form that you can mix in a glass of cold water and the powder will dissolve in the liquid rather quickly. It's been proven your body can actually use more of the vitamins and minerals found inside a liquid substance opposed to your traditional pill.

Again I'm not a nutritional expert but I have done a lot of research in this field and of course it's always a safe bet to check with your doctor before changing your nutritional patterns. When I decided to change over to liquid vitamins it did a world wonders for me and helped me cope a little bit better with my chronic Lyme disease situation that I've been fighting for the past 10 years.

So I started doing my own research and found out more about liquid vitamins. One of the things I found out is to check into something called the ORAC score. ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity and is a laboratory analysis that provides an overall measure of a food's antioxidant activity. The higher the ORAC score, the greater is the food's antioxidant capacity. ORAC tests are often used to compare the antioxidant activities of different foods (fruits, vegetables, juices, wines, etc.).

I was always told at young age to take my daily vitamin and had been using Centrum for as long as I can remember until one day I did research on the Internet and found out that many of these bulky pills were in fact synthetic vitamins and was actually told by one of my doctors to stop taking these supplements. He suggested I look for chewable or liquid vitamin with some of the ingredients that I explained above. I found a vitamin called Beyond Tangy Tangerine sold by Youngevity and quickly began researching the ingredients. To my surprise the vitamin was everything I hoped for and more.

I think most of us would agree it doesn't really do any of us any good to take a vitamin that our body cannot use. Some of us spend a lot of money supplementing putting all these vitamins and nutrients into our body not realizing our body is not able to process most of the valuable nutrition. Another good way to get the proper nutrition in your system is to eat fresh fruits and vegetables along with your vitamin supplement's.

You may even consider blending some fresh fruits and vegetables up with your vitamin and making it into a nutritional smoothie. Breaking whole foods down at the cellular level will give you the nutrition your body needs to sustain a healthy immune system and actually can reverse the aging process. Remember to exercise get plenty of fresh air and of course, come to your own conclusions and do your own research but in the end it may be worth to switch over to liquid vitamin and give it a try. If you don't like it you can always switch back. For me it was a no-brainer and the results don't lie so if you have any questions regarding any of the information in this article please do not hesitate to contact me as I always look forward to the opportunity to helping people feel better, look great, and live long.
