Why are liquid supplements more effective?

One of the most referred-to statements is in the Physician’s Desk Reference, page 1542: only 5–18% of nutrients taken in pill form actually end up in the body’s cells. That means 80–95% are excreted. In money: for every $100 spent on pills, about $90 can end up unused.

Advantages of liquids: absorption up to 98%; prepared from fresh elements; fewer doses for the same absorbed amount; easier to swallow, especially for seniors; ingredients are not compressed, so they do not need extra digestion; they enter the bloodstream quickly; they do not require binders and fillers; far less unused material in the waste system.

Pills: hard to swallow for seniors; absorption often 2–20%; digestion can take hours; powdered ingredients may have sat a long time before compression; binders and fillers delay and reduce absorption.

That is why this practice is built on a liquid matrix. The molecule is one problem. The delivery is the other.
