B Complex Liquid

WHY CHOOSE A LIQUID B-COMPLEX?

Did you know that according to Statistics Canada, a considerable percentage of adults do not get an adequate amount of the essential B vitamins through diet alone? This is worrisome because B vitamins are indeed essential to health and required for cell formation, not the least of which are critical red blood cells, as well as for the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats to be used as fuel, the breakdown of protein, and the transport of nutrients throughout the body.

Some of the most common symptoms associated with a deficiency in B vitamins include fatigue, lack of energy, lethargy, anemia, low mood, and compromised immunity (predisposition to frequent infections, including cold and flu). Fortunately, B-complex nutritional supplements abound, in a range of potencies, and delivery formats, not the least of which is the convenient liquid form.

Liquid B-Complex Absorption

Liquid B-complex supplements are absorbed into the bloodstream almost immediately after ingestion, while tablets and capsules must first be broken down and dissolved before being absorbed. Sometimes, tablets and capsules may not dissolve completely or rapidly enough to be properly absorbed, this is especially true of the sustained or timed-release forms. The elderly, as well as those with IBS, celiac disease, and Crohn's disease, may have an especially hard time properly absorbing the nutrients in tablets and capsules.

Liquid B-Complex Benefits

A liquid B-complex is an especially wise choice for anyone who has difficulty swallowing large pills or capsules such as children and seniors. Liquid B-complexes also have the added convenience of being able to be added to shakes and smoothies to mask the telltale smell and taste of B vitamins.

Liquid B-Complex Dosing

Liquid B-Complexes offer the possibility of adjusting the dose up or down, as well as adapting the dose to everyone in the family’s needs without requiring you to purchase two or three different formulas.

Liquid B-Complex Storage

Most B-Complex supplements in liquid form must be refrigerated once open and also do not have the same shelf-life that capsules and tablets do, so keep that in mind if you are not especially consistent about taking your supplements regularly.

Liquid B-Complex Excipients

A liquid supplement calls for the use of sweeteners and flavoring agents, as well as preservatives, so make sure to read the list of excipients carefully to make sure the ingredients used are high quality, and non-toxic.

B-COMPLEX LIQUID - POTENCY & FORMATS

Liquid B-Complex Potency

Most liquid B-complexes are available in 50 mg potency, but of course, liquid forms can easily be adjusted up or down as needed.

Liquid B-Complex Forms

Liquid B complexes can be found in the more affordable conventional form, which is synthetically made, as well as in the bioactive and highly bioavailable coenzyme form.

GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR B-COMPLEX LIQUID

It’s best to take your liquid B-Complex in divided doses to ensure a consistent supply of essential water-soluble vitamins throughout the day. However, because B vitamins naturally boost energy, it's advisable not to take a dose too late in the day or close to bedtime as this may negatively affect sleep quality.

While liquid supplements can be taken with or without food, it's best to have them with a meal or a snack, or to add them to a shake or smoothie, to reduce your chances of stomach upset.
