We Know: How Liquid Vitamins Work

Why take liquid vitamins?

The primary reason why most people take liquid vitamins is that they can be absorbed into the system faster than when taking capsules or chewable vitamins. However, contrary to claims by some liquid vitamin manufacturers, faster absorption doesn't guarantee that the vitamin is more effective. In fact, a fast absorption rate isn't always necessary when taking vitamins. It's also claimed that liquid vitamins are more fully absorbed than tablets and capsules. That isn't necessarily true either, and depends in large part on the quality of the tablets and capsules taken.


Another reason why some people prefer liquid vitamins is that they have trouble swallowing pills. This can be a side effect of some medical conditions that result in a sensitive or swollen esophagus. Some people experience gag reflex when taking tablets or capsules. Liquid vitamins are an alternative.

The Advantages of Liquid Vitamins

  • In some cases, liquid vitamins may be absorbed by the body faster when compared to vitamins in other forms.
  • They may be easier to swallow for some people as compared to tablets or capsules.

The Disadvantages of Liquid Vitamins
