What are the benefits of taking a whole food-based multiple in a liquid dosage form?
A. There are several advantages of taking a liquid formula versus a capsule or caplet, such as flavor, ease of administration, increased compliance and most importantly, digestibility. With a liquid formula, the amount of time it takes the nutrients to go from the stomach to the small intestine for absorption is miniscule. Capsules and tablets, on the other hand, can take from 30 to 45 minutes to break down, which is the disintegration/dissolution time set by the U.S. Pharmacopeia. For persons who are older, have dysphasia (the medical term for the symptom of difficulty in swallowing), or have difficulty complying to an overabundance of oral medications already, liquid whole food-based multiples like Bluebonnet’s New Gluten-Free Liquid Super Earth Multinutrient Formula are a perfect solution.
