subject: Are Liquid Vitamins Really Necessary In The Body? [print this page] In the recent past, there has been an interesting debate in some quarters as to whether supplementary vitamins are really necessary. Nobody in this debate was talking about liquid vitamins in particular. Rather, the debate was about supplementary vitamins - in whatever form they are presented. And since liquid vitamins are one form in which vitamin supplementation is done, we can see how they come to be 'enjoined in the suit.' That is what would lead us to the question as to whether the liquid vitamins are really necessary in the body.
There are many angles from which we can explore answers to the question as to whether liquid vitamins are really necessary in the body. But if the person asking the question wants a simple 'yes' or 'no' answer, one would be inclined, by a number of factors, to make the answer a 'yes.'
The simple reason as to why liquid-vitamins are really necessary in the body is that our diets are simply inadequate, in terms of providing our bodies with all the nutrients we need; especially the vitamins. However widely you may decide to vary your diet (and most people's diets tend to be largely unvaried), there would still be a number of vitamins you would be lacking. And the lack of those nutrients would tend to manifest in some way on your body: typically an unpleasant way.
It is when you take that nutritional deficiency to which we are all prone that you get to see why liquid vitamins (and other supplementary vitamins) are necessary in the body. If there was a way in which you could get all the vitamins you need through your diet, then, by all accounts, liquid vitamins would be superfluous to you. But the truth of the matter is that there is virtually no way through which you can have a diet which supplies you with all the nutrients that you need, especially in terms of vitamins; which is where things like liquid vitamins come in handy.
What most liquid-vitamin formulations will tend to have are optimally high concentrations of the various vitamins you need - including some which are usually only found in rare foods that you would probably never get on your diet. What you may be getting, on a single teaspoon of liquid-vitamin, could be a combination of vitamins that you would naturally only get from twenty different foods. Take note, too, that just because a particular food would traditionally give a particular vitamin doesn't mean that it actually does so - because things like mineral depletion from soils and genetic engineering have changed the nutritional value of many plants. So you could be eating all the right foods, and still not getting all the vitamins you need -in spite of all the foods you are eating being the traditionally prescribed sources of the vitamins you are after. It is factors like those, then, that necessitate the use of products like liquid vitamins.
