A Healthy Habit that is Easy to Swallow
Are you tired of taking multiple pills or tablets each day? Have you ever had trouble swallowing a pill? Or had one stuck in your throat? Ouch!
What about that chalky feeling that just won’t go away or an upset stomach? One way to avoid all that is by taking a liquid supplement instead.
Liquids are not only easier to ingest than solid doses, but they can also be easier for the body to use, a characteristic known as bioavailability.1
In other words, liquid supplements are more bioavailable and the more bioavailable a supplement is, the better it will be absorbed and used by the body.1
Bioavailability is the amount of a given ingested nutrient that the body absorbs and uses. Absorption is the physiological process of transporting a nutrient into the body’s fluids and cells. Unlike solid dose supplements that need time to break down, Wellesse Liquid Supplements are immediately bioavailable to the body, increasing absorption and overall value.
Drinking a daily supplement is easier and, for many, more pleasing, than swallowing a pill that may get stuck in your throat. Liquid supplementation is especially appealing to the young or elderly, anyone who has difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules, and those who cannot absorb nutrients from solid forms.
Health challenges such as stress, restricted diets, obesity, weight loss surgeries, gluten intolerance, Celiac and more may restrict nutrient absorption.
Moreover, clinical research has demonstrated the improved bioavailability and absorption of liquid supplements for a variety of nutrients essential for everyday health. Often, these nutrients are naturally found in liquids such as calcium and vitamin D in milk and vitamin C in orange juice and all the new beverages with added vitamins.
- Fast absorbing
- Easy to take
- 1 oz or less a day (some pills and tablets are multiple tablets and times per day)
- Convenient adjustable dosage amounts – no cutting tablets in half and guessing!
- Great tasting alone or just mix in your favorite juice, water, smoothie or shake
- Easier to digest for many – no stomach upset like with some pills
- No need to refrigerate
- Certified Gluten-Free – some pills and tablets contain fillers with gluten
- Sugar-Free – many gummy vitamins and chewable contain sugar and high-fructose corn syrup
The Encyclopedia of Pharmaceutical Technology supports the statement that substances delivered in liquid form are inherently absorbed faster than those in tablet or capsule form.
This is because they are already dissolved and arrive in the body ready to be used.
