Internet marketers and MLM distributors like to promote liquid vitamin & mineral formulas and claim that colloidal, sub-colloidal and now micro-colloidal liquid formulas are far easier for the body to absorb than multi-vit & mineral tablets? Is there any truth in this, or is a liquid formula just another over-hyped “snake oil”? Tell me more about your experience with them.
Tablets become liquid when digested in the gastro-intestinal tract (or gut if you prefer).Surely they will then absorb quickly after they are liquefied?

And what about the so-called natural ingredients mined from primeval forests discovered in Utah, then turned into liquid form by the Dead Doctor story-teller’s company? Are they any better than the “artificial” synthesized ingredients in tablets?

For all those who suffer from hypertension, magnesium supplements can help them to deal with it. It has been noted that magnesium supplements can increase the mineral density in bones.

Such dietary magnesium supplements are normally high in fiber and potassium, which are also good for health.

Magnesium also helps in controlling the levels of insulin so it is good for patients with diabetes. It regulates insulin level in the body, which helps in controlling the blood sugar level. Now since magnesium is so helpful in regulating diabetes and hypertension, it is obvious that it will also help in dealing with cardiovascular diseases.

Even if we eat a well balanced diet, we are still at risk of not getting enough essential vitamins and minerals as the food today is far less nutritious than it used to be. In fact we are only getting about one sixth of the beneficial nutrients today compared to 50 years ago.

One of the most important factors in dietary mineral supplements is what other ingredients are in the mix. To be truly beneficial the ingredients must be synergistic with each other, as when the right combination of nutrients are put together you get the direct benefits of each nutrient and the benefit from their interaction with each other.
