Vitamin Absorption




“He paid $14.95 for a bottle of multivitamin tablets and ended up flushing the antioxidants down the toilet!” This conventional wisdom for some is that the vitamin absorption rate of tablets is zilch. People, accordingly, are advised to buy and eat fresh vegetables. However, these same people are told that farm produce today is just not as nutritious as fifty years ago because of soil erosion and pollutants. People seem to be caught between fresh produce with diminishing nutrition and pill supplements with little or no vitamin absorption. They thus lose out on the boost antioxidant fruit can give in the body's fight against the oxidation of organs by free radicals.


Vitamin Absorption Rate of Pills and Liquid Vitamins

Some claim that only 20% of a pill’s nutrients gets absorbed into the blood stream. A quasi lab study by Vitamin Manic found that pills were absorbed at a 30% rate while the vitamin absorption rate of liquid vitamins was 90%. Nutritional-supplement-truth.com reports that coating pills with Enteric (aqueous based) can boost vitamin absorption in tests to 80-83%. Nutritional-supplement-truth.com does add, though, that enteric coatings are very rare and are seldom found in the sale of nutritional supplements.

Liquid Vitamins and Nutrients Available with High Vitamin Absorption Rate

High powered antioxidant fruit, including the top three (wolfberry, mangosteen, and acai) are sold in liquid form. Of course, others fruits are also sold in juice form. Those looking to boost their bodies' defenses against free radicals have many attractive choices.
