Liquid vitamins take the light of the vitamin supplement. Doubtful facts and allegations of liquid vitamins affirmed the spirit of many. The truth of absorption of vitamin has finally arrived.
The most controversial liquid vitamin myth must be the superiority absorbing vitamin. The vitamins of the pill offer absorption rates up to 30% while liquid vitamins have an absorption rate of 90%. It is time to prove or refute this fact visually.
The testing approach of the facts carried out implies a very simple experience. The experience started with a theory. For a nutrient to be absorbed into the blood, it will have to be completely simplified before passing through the membranes of the body; The Villi in the small intestine or the mucous membrane. In this spirit, a pill must be simplified before any absorption of nutrients can take place. This will limit vitamin form of the pill to an entry path in the blood; the small intestine.
Liquid vitamins happily increase the number of entry pathways in the body that allows better absorption rate. A liquid vitamin is already in the simplest form. When you drink liquid vitamin, the absorption already takes place in the mucous membrane of the mouth as well as in the tissues of your esophagus.
Now, the absorption of vitamin should be more than the theory. Visual proof of the ability of vitamin supplements to cross a very small membrane must be possible. With some articles of your kitchen, visual proof is finally possible. A coffee filter can simulate permeable membrane nutrients must go to our body. Lemon juice has a level of pH comparable to gastric acid. The stomach acid pH levels can range from 1 to 3 depending on the conditions of the stomach. Lemon juice has a pH level of 2.3. Two vitamins were chosen on the basis of high popularity and availability, but will remain anonymous to preserve the universal nature of this experience.
With complete vitamin absorption experimentation planning, the experiment has been achieved leaving only visual vitamin absorption facts behind. All components were weighed before and after experience. The two vitamins have spent an equal time in the acidic equivalent of the stomach as well as filtering through the coffee filter. Experimentation time frames were intended to simulate digestion as close as possible from 2-4 hours in the stomach.
Once the filtering process is complete, the vitamin absorption facts have finally been displayed visually. The weight analysis revealed by 0.2 of a filtered ounce from the supplement of liquid vitamins and 0.8 of a filtered ounce from the vitamin of the pill. This coincides with the tests of absorption rate put to the test. Visual proof of the capacity of liquid vitamins to absorb about 3 to 4 times more efficiently than the vitamin of the pill lies in the coffee filter.
