The vitamins we take in must be absorbed properly in our body. Vitamins are normally present in the markets either in tablet form or in liquid form. Some vitamins and supplements found in tablet form are very cheap. It is because these are made up of cheap ingredients and excipients. Excipients are the ingredients which binds various compounds together.
These cheap excipients are released in the stomach and destroyed there by the stomach acids. So, if they are the cheap ingredients they will end up in waste in the toilet. On the other hand, some of the best vitamins will have such excipients which will ensure that nutrients are absorbed via the walls of upper intestine so that they can be absorbed in the blood stream and from there it can be used in the body.
Enteric Coating is considered as the best delivery system for vitamin absorption. Actually enteric coating requires specialized coating that coats the supplements.
Absorption Of Powered Vitamins:
Nearly all types of vitamins are available in powered form. According to your requirements you choose any of them from the market. The powered vitamins are preferred because they can be easily digested and absorbed in the blood stream so that they affect specifically only on those areas for which they are taken in.
It can be understood by one example. The powdered form of vitamin C is available in the market. It can be mixed very easy in any of the beverages and taken. The powered form of vitamin C has whole oranges or its juice so it is pure form of vitamin C, along with flavedo, mesocarp, endocarp, protopectins and p- factors. These enhance the absorption and utilization of vitamin C.
