Forms of Vitamin Supplements

Forms of Vitamin Supplements


Although the tablet is the most popular form of vitamin supplement, there are also other forms that are available in the market.
Most, if not all, of these other forms claim to be more effective than others in delivering the vitamins to the body.
Let us take a closer look at each of them and find out how effective they really are.


Tablet - as mentioned earlier, this is the most ubiquitous form of vitamin supplements. And because it is readily available, a lot of people prefer to buy their supplements in this form.
Others however, do not like this option because the body tends to have difficulty in absorbing this.
Thus, a lot of it goes to waste along with the urine which is sometimes jokingly referred to as expensive urine.


Capsule - is very similar to the tablet. The only difference between them is their size since capsules are much smaller than tablets.
Because of it, some people prefer to take their supplements in capsule form.


Softgel - this is much like the tablet although it comes in a softer shell. People prefer it to the tablet because the body easily absorbs it.


Liquid - compared to the three mentioned above, this is considered as the form that is best absorbed by the body.
While only around 40-50% of the tablets and capsules are actually absorbed, liquids claim 90% absorption.
We hope that with this article you will be able to decide which among the choices is best for you.
