Liquid Herbal Supplements

Liquid Herbal Supplements
As with just about everything, there are pros and cons regarding the best form to consume in addition to other considerations. These include: ease of swallowing, rate of absorption, bioavailability, taste, purity, shelf life and price. Liquids obviously have a big advantage over pills when it comes to swallowing. Most people, especially the elderly and young children, tend to have more difficulty swallowing a handful of pills in order to get the complete range of nutrients needed by the body. Many pills also come in sizes that are simply too large to comfortably swallow. In addition to the physical difficulty of swallowing pills, it can create a psychological resistance.Other factors to consider are the speed and ease that a supplement or vitamin can be absorbed and utilized by the body. Generally, supplements in liquid form are much more readily broken down and absorbed. Additionally, it has been shown that liquids are more completely and quickly absorbed than most capsules and pills. In fact, the Physician's Desk Reference states that 85-90% of nutrients in liquid supplements are absorbed in 22 to 30 seconds.
