Liquid Vitamin Facts Attacked

Posted October 23rd, 2005 by admin

The war against liquid vitamin facts rages on. Pill form vitamins and nutraceuticals attack liquid vitamin integrity.

Well, more attacks on liquid vitamin facts. The liquid vitamin quality attacks seem redundant; an integrity attack.

We still have the attack on absorption and destruction of vitamins in the presence of stomach acid. This argument is more misleading than informative. Digestion is an extremely complex biochemical process. The volume of stomach acid in your stomach is determined by a plethora of conditions; volume filling the stomach, blood sugar level, and many more variables. Your stomach does not always have large volume of stomach acid waiting to destroy vitamins and minerals. During vitamin supplement ingestion, there is no guarantee you will be exposing your vitamin and mineral supplement to large amounts of stomach acid. Regardless, it is not good dietary supplement etiquette to take your vitamins on an empty stomach. As a matter of fact, it is not good practice to take any medication or supplement on an empty stomach. Some people actually experience nausea when taking a vitamin supplement on an empty stomach; proof of vitamin absorption. Rapid vitamin absorption can cause nausea. My rebuttal for this attack is for my health conscious readers to take all there medications and supplements with food unless otherwise specified. Increased volume in the stomach will prevent existing stomach acid, regardless of acid volume, from overwhelming your vitamin supplement. This precaution may also reduce absorption speed preventing nausea. I will give you more facts on this argument in the near future.

Another question about this argument has to be the complete destruction of vitamins when introduced to stomach acid. If this is true, what happens to vitamins and minerals in the food we consume? Not all food requires complex digestion. Do we really need to protect all the vitamins and minerals we consume with expensive release technology ingredients that require complete digestion to be completely absorbed. Hopefully not! I think many would suffer from malnutrition if this were the case. Unfortunately, it is not a perfect world so do you really think perfect digestion really exist? For the nutraceutical vitamin supplement we can hope.

This controversy will continue. I want you to make the choice on this matter. Nutraceuticals are unfortunately not the new trend and need to protect their presence in the nutrition industry. I guess attacking the nutrition competition is understandable. I encourage a worthy adversary!

Please use the liquid vitamin facts when making judgments about liquid vitamins. Regardless of your decision, I do recommend a vitamin supplement of some kind. Almost all of us do not eat the perfect diet and do not have time to. Please take the necessary precautions to maintain your health with proper nutrition.
