Vitamin C is known for its antioxidant activity, but the truth is that it also participates in many important health functions.

It is one of the thirteen essential vitamins for the body. Referring to it as an essential nutrient means that it contributes to the proper functioning of the body, but it is impossible that a person will get all the needed nutrients from his regular diet. Therefore, we must necessarily provide vitamin C to our nutrition. But deciding between liquid or pill vitamins can be confusing. To get the maximum benefits, you need to understand the action, advantages, and disadvantages of each.

Knowing how each type of works will help you make an informed decision.

Pills are usually a bit uncomfortable to take because they usually come in uncomfortable sizes and shapes to be consumed. In order to start giving their key nutrients, they must first break their external structure, researchers subjected different tablets and capsules to disintegration tests. The US Pharmacopeia has set 30 minutes as the ideal breaking time.

Liquid types eliminate the disintegration problem completely. Absorption occurs immediately. In fact, a part of it is absorbed the moment you take it and as it goes down to the stomach, making this much more practical for those who do not find it easy to take tablets.

 As for Tablets of Vitamin c, it is again affected due to its structure, according to clinical studies, not all the vitamins you take are absorbed. The rest is wasted and that means money wasted on your part.

Tablets or pills require more time to be absorbed because the external form must first be digested in the stomach. As with any food particle in the gastrointestinal tract, the digestive system will have to work a bit to grind and liquefy the vitamin before it can be absorbed by the intestinal villi. 

They are the choice if you want to delay absorption, such as when taking extended-release melatonin or when you want to make sure the ingredients remain intact until they reach the target tissue, such as when taking probiotics.

Liquid vitamins show an absorption rate of 98%, while the absorption rates of pills go from only 3 to 20%. Not only Liquid Vitamin C is absorbed more, but the liquid forms are also absorbed faster than the pills. Since liquid vitamins have no external "barriers," they do not need to undergo physical degradation, which makes them available for maximum absorption. Health professionals recommend this type if they want faster results.

When we talk about shelf life, we are referring to the amount of time vitamins remain in the blood before the body absorbs and excretes the active ingredients. The pills generally have a longer shelf life due to the stabilizers added to them. These agents are responsible for the actual shape of the pills. The hard tablets come with fillers, while the capsules come in cellulose material. Although these stabilizers prolong the life of the vitamin, there are still questions about the general safety of these. It is important that you know if they are synthetic or derived from plants.

 Many times, the whole family takes the same supplements. Instead of buying different products for each member, the type of liquid allows you to get only one product and what you need to do is modify the dose for each member of the family. For example, the mother can take only one teaspoon of vitamin D, the father can take 2 teaspoons, and younger children only one drop. This strategy is more profitable than buying the same product in three different strengths to meet the needs of each member.

An obvious reason to take liquid vitamins is ideal because children and even many adults have trouble swallowing pills. Some people, despite their age, cannot tolerate the solid form entering the esophagus. They call them "horse pill" because, as they complain, "they are large and very difficult to swallow."

There are also people who suffer from pathological conditions for which the ingestion of pills is not allowed. This includes patients who had prior gastric surgery. Again, a liquid dose is perfect for this group of people.
