Liquid multivitamins are taken by mixing the formula into juice or water and are absorbed quicker than tablet multivitamins. There are several benefits to both forms of multivitamins and several differences. If you do not like the taste of chewable vitamins or you cannot swallow large multivitamins you can take liquid vitamins by mixing them into juice or water.
Fat-Soluble Vitamins
Liquid multivitamins contain fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. Vitamin A is needed for healthy eyes and lowers the risk of developing prostate cancer. Vitamin D is needed along with the mineral calcium to promote healthy bones and reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis. Vitamin E is an antioxidant protecting the cells from free-radical damage. Vitamin E is also responsible for minimizing the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Vitamin K is essential in helping the blood clot in preventing hip fractures. Complete multivitamins and liquid or tablet form will provide you with the recommended daily allowance of these fat-soluble vitamins the.
Water-Soluble Vtamins
Liquid multivitamins contain water-soluble vitamins C and B-complex vitamins, which includes folic acid. Vitamin C is an antioxidant use to boost the immune system and reduce the risk of developing certain cancers. B-complex is a group of B vitamins that include vitamins B-1, B-2, B-3, B-5, B-6, B-7, B-9 and B-12. These vitamins are responsible for muscle contractions, nerve health and the health of the skin, nails, brain and hair.
Minerals
Complete multivitamins in both liquid or capsule form contain essential minerals such as magnesium, potassium, iron, calcium and biotin. Iron is needed to continue the production of hemoglobin in the body to keep blood oxygen levels healthy. People who have iron deficiency anemia may need to take an additional iron supplement.
Warning
Liquid multivitamins are absorbed quicker by the body than capsule multivitamins, and thus have a higher risk of vitamin toxicity. Vitamin toxicity can cause muscle pain, bone pain, severe headache, nausea and vomiting and in severe cases organ damage. Overdosing on liquid vitamins that contain iron, may result in iron poisoning which can be fatal if not treated immediately.
