Flush The Pills for Better Health

Copyright (c) 2006 PillFreeVitamins.com

The next time you take supplements or get a prescription
from the doctor, get it in liquid form! Scientist and
doctors have discovered that pills just don't make the
grade anymore - for many reasons.

When you take anything in pill form, your body is only
absorbing about 10 to 20% of it. The rest is eliminated as
waste by the body. This is especially true for vitamins and
nutrients that are in pill form. However, when you take
vitamins and nutrients in liquid form, the body absorbs
approximately 98% of it, allowing the nutrients to get all
the way to the cells, where they are needed. Pills are hard
on the digestive system, but the body digests liquids quite
nicely.

Another problem that we face when taking vitamins is that
we don't really know what to take, or how much of it to
take. Have you been to a store that sells vitamins
recently? The choices are overwhelming to say the least.
Most people leave the store with one bottle of a multi
vitamin that doesn't have the majority of what we really
need.

It's all very confusing. Some vitamins, minerals, and
nutrients are not effective without the presence of other
vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. For instance, Zinc is
not effective without copper and vitamin C. Furthermore,
you need a specific dosage of the copper and vitamin C,
based on the dosage of the Zinc for the Zinc to do what it
needs to do. If you aren't a pharmacist, it's impossible to
figure it all out and keep up with it. Most pharmacists
can't even do that!

Another drawback to taking pills is that they are hard to
take. While some people can toss a handful of pills in
their mouths and swallow even without the benefit of water
to wash it down, other people still mash up their aspirin
in jelly and take it with a spoon - simply because they
have a very hard time swallowing pills.

Children and senior citizens have an especially hard time
with this. Other's have a fear that they may choke. Still
other's have had bad experiences, where they can't get the
pill to go down, and it dissolves in their mouths, on their
tongues, where the taste buds are - if this has never
happened to you, you better believe that pills have a very
nasty taste, and they leave an equally nasty aftertaste as
well.

Many people also have a hard time digesting pills and
capsules. They experience a feeling of indigestion, like
the pill is stuck somewhere between the throat and the
stomach, or burning stomach pain as the stomach tries to
deal with the substance and break it down.

So, the next time you purchase vitamins, or the next time
your doctor prescribes medicine, think about this, and
request the liquid form!
