Question: Vitamin supplements - which form is the best/easiest-absorbed by the body? Liquid form or tablet form?? Does it matter what form you take your vitamin supplements in? Or is there a significant difference in bodily-absorption between the liquid form and the tablet form? Why are most adult vitamin supplements on the market sold in tablet form? Is it because vitamins in tablet form are better absorbed by the adult body???

Answer: Liquid vitamins are most easily absorbed by the body but tablet forms do a decent job. They are more popular because they often costs less, are lighter and easier to ship, stay fresh longer, and are easier to store. Some of the poorer brands of vitamin pass entirely through the digestive system and you can still read the labels on the side of the pill. If your looking to get the most out of your vitamin, take a liquid from a trusted source. do some research and make sure that it has a good reputation and labels for all fillers and inactive ingredients they use. Vitamins and supplements are not regulated by the FDA so be careful.

Question: In the 1950's, we took a thick liquid vitamin supplement, maybe called Homocibrin. Is it still available? This came in a large brown glass bottle, it was kept in the refrigerator. My dad was in the army reserves, and used to go to the PX for supplies. Perhaps it was only available through the military base...I am interested to who manufactered this and if it is still available. Thanks

Answer: Sorry. I've never heard of anything by that name. Have you tried contacting the PX?

Question: Are vitamin & mineral supplements and liquid health drinks of genuine benefit to the consumer?

Answer: They are good supplements to a healthy diet but they can never replace a healthy diet. It is very hard to get all the nutrients you need even from a very healthy diet. A multivitamin every day is a useful supplement to take every day. Extra Vitamin C every day will boost your immune system.

Question: Why is Liquid Life Vitamin Supplement making me sick? This happened twice already. First time I thought it was my own fault because I drank it with prune juice. I had this immediate urge to throw up. Today I tried taking it again after I ate an antipasto salad and immediately I felt this horrible feeling and got sick. I am not pregnant, nor do I have a weak stomach. Why do I immediately get sick soon after I have taken it. I drank plenty of water afterwards and then all of a sudden I threw up.

Answer: You shouldn't take it anymore. Try another brand.

Question: Has anyone heard of a liquid vitamin supplement?

Question: Who is the manufacturer of the 10 in 1 GBG liquid vitamin and mineral supplement? On the bottle, it says manufactured for distribution by GBG. I want to know who the manufacturer is and whether that manufacturer produces the product in the USA or uses subplants in China, Vietnam or some other far off place.

Answer: To the best of my knowledge, they have never disclosed the manufacturer. I've had a sense that it was in the USA. All I do know is that "Robert" (the manufacturer of MA+ Complex in Canada) told me that he was not the manufacturer. You can try calling, but that may be a dead end. I do know that they have always been about quality if that is your concern.

Question: Is "Pet tinic" liquid vitamin ok for a chronic renale disease cat? would it interfere with a cat that has diab my cat Lucy is 19 and I thought Id supplement her with liquid vitamins, they have this bottled vitamin at the vet.. in case she ever gets worse and possibly gets diabetes as a result of her BUN and creatinine and other levels, would this elixir pose problems?? It smells sweet. Thanks and please give details.

Answer: Pet tinic works wonders on cats that can benefit from vitamin supplements - we use it in rescue a lot! I have never used it on a diabetic cat, nor have I ever heard of a cat developing diabetes from having CRF. I'd just take one problem at a time, and double check with the vet that the Pet tinic is appropriate for Lucy, and what the dosage should be for her. It's dosed by weight, and my personal opinion is that the recommended dose is a bit high.

Question: For increased energy, how much lead time is needed in taking B-vitamin supplements in pill vs. liquid form? Vitamin B is known to help increase energy (particularly B6 and B12, I believe...correct me if I am wrong). I have Vitamin B in both pill form and liquid. I know the liquid (under the tongue for 30 seconds before swallowing) is supposed to be absorbed into the system faster than the pill form, but I don't know the relative times for each. I'm trying to gage how soon before a workout I should take each in order to feel a boost in energy, if even minor. Do I take a Vitamin B pill the night before a morning workout? Or do I take it 1 hour in advance? Same question with the liquid form. What can you tell me? Thank you!

Answer: Both forms are absorbed relatively quickly. If you take it the night before, it will mostly wear off, so take it one hour before. I've used Rocket Shot energy shot, and it works really well, and quickly. Doesn't taste bad, either. It contains a healthy dose of B vitamins. For lasting energy, I would get on a schedule of taking your vitamins every day at the same time. This will create sustainable energy. Don't just take "Vitamin B," that's only one of the Bs. Take a B-complex formula. Don't forget a multi-vitamin and mineral formula, you want to keep all your bases covered!

Question: Does liquid (serum) or powder form of vitamin/herbal supplements absorb better in the body?

Answer: either form the Natural when you can find them (synthetic vitamins)will do just fine. take in consideration the liquid form is usually alcohol based. what good is alcohol for the body? but that's probably the quicker absorbtion one.

Question: What is a good vitamin or liquid vitamin supplement to take? I need to take vitamins per my MD. I have had some in the past that caused stomach upset. Can anyone advise me on a good brand to try, or has anyone tried the liquid varieties? Thanks a bunch, I will consider everybody's answer!!! Have a nice day. In response to what I need it for, I had a severe allergic reaction to the inside of my mouth and the dentist recommended a vitamin with the B complex in it to help aid the healing. Don't know if that will help, but that is why I need it. Thanks.

Answer: I am a strong believer in the liquid vitamin. First of all, many solid vitamins don't have a chance of getting into your system because of what they are coated with. If you have a vitamin you like and want to test it to see if if has a chance of being absorbed by your body do the following: Take the pill and place it in a cup of room temperature water. Let is sit for about 5-10 minutes. If the pill doesn't dissolve in the cup the chance are pretty good it is not going to break down in your stomach either. Liquid vitamins are great because they are readily available for your system to absorb and use. Some taste a little funky but you can dilute them with water or your favorite juice or mix them in smoothies. There are some really great ones on the market now.. Good luck and keep taking your vitamins.

Question: Whats the BEST iron supplement and liquid multi vitamin on the market? [or top 2 brands of each] TY

Answer: I have been using Vibe, a liquid vitamin and mineral supplement. It has helped me function everyday. The company that makes it, uses advanced technology to make sure the minerals get to the cells and are easily absorbed and useable. The same company also has a liquid iron product if you find that you need iron. Not everyone needs iron, so they didn't put it in their Vibe product.
