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.
