Nutrition

AP - President Bush said Saturday that religious charities, partly financed with federal money, have helped reduce homelessness, found jobs for former inmates and helped combat malaria and HIV/AIDS overseas.

There are different ways to take nutrition supplements (dietary supplement) - as a liquid or in a pill, capsule, tablet or liquid form. In recent years, a number of nutritional companies have been making a liquid form of vitamins and minerals.

Personally, I have a "thing" about pills, capsules and tablets, I just do not like them. When I was young I was supposed to take tablets every day, so my mother crushed them and tried to hide them in jam or stew, so I would take them. The taste put me off stew and jam for years.

My dear old grandma took pills every time she had a cuppa tea, which was quite frequent. I could almost hear her rattle when she walked round the house. Watching grandma take them all the time helped put me off also.

My first introduction to vitamin supplements was when I received a postcard in my letterbox, with a picture of a very healthy strong looking 80 year old man, plus pictures of many film stars who took these large vitamin pills to keep them healthy and give them energy. At the time, I was feeling pretty low after a major operation, so I purchased some of those pills and started feeling much better.

Then I found some other vitamins in tablet form which were cheaper and I felt good taking them too.

Only this time, I had to take 30 a day. Now, I was really starting to mimic my grandma. I lined them up on the kitchen counter each morning, then put them in a container for the day - number 2's, 3's, 5's, 6's, round ones, oval ones, light brown, dark brown, white ones. I threw a number of them down all at once before meals. They tasted awful, I used to gag on them, and started dreading mealtimes because of my entree of pills.

After awhile, I discovered a liquid form of vitamins and minerals, which tasted delicious. Many of the liquid supplements produced today buy bulk dicreatine malate all the vitamin and minerals that are contained within pills and tablets.

Apart from the taste and ease and convenience of taking them, there is one other major advantage of liquid nutrition supplements. Taking vitamins and minerals in a liquid form is more bio-available (body-ready) than pills or tablets.
