One of the factors commonly quoted, as an advantage that liquid vitamins have over pill vitamins, is that the 'liquid vitamins are more effective than the pill vitamins.' Depending on how much of a critical thinker one is, they can choose to take this assertion on face value, or to interrogate further. It is when you opt to interrogate the assertion further than the question as to whether the liquid vitamins are really more effective than the pill vitamins arises. Now there are many levels at which we can attempt to find answers to the question as to whether liquid-vitamins are more effective than pill vitamins. But before we can get to that, it would be important for us to establish a criterion for making these judgments on effectiveness. So, what is it that would make a supplementary vitamin formulation be declared as being highly effective? Well, different authorities would have different takes on that one. But seeing that different people take the different supplementary vitamins in search of different benefits, we can say that the extent to which a particular supplementary vitamin delivers the benefits for which it is taken would be the degree to which it can be said to be effective. Someone may also want to throw in something about speed of action, so that the supplementary vitamin formulation that delivers the benefits faster than the other one would be termed as the more effective vitamin formulation. So, under such criteria, can we say that liquid-vitamins are more really more effective than pill-vitamins? The answer to that question is that we can't say, as a matter of generalization, that liquid-vitamins are always more effective than pill vitamins. There are in fact some products marketed as 'liquid-vitamins' when they are absolutely nothing of the sort. Some are just liquids, colored or otherwise, that are packaged into special containers and labeled as being 'liquid-vitamins.' These would, quite naturally, tend to be rated 'zero' in terms of effectiveness. They have no nutritional value through which they can deliver the various health benefits people take them in search of. But what can be said, specifically where we are comparing genuine pill vitamins to genuine liquid-vitamins, is that the liquid vitamins do tend, on average, to be more effective than the pill-vitamins - especially with regard to the 'speed of action' criterion. How this comes about is through the fact that the liquid vitamins tend to register much higher absorbability rates (and to be absorbed much faster) than the pill-vitamins. It is all this, then, that makes them come across as being more effective than the pill vitamins; hence the assertion to the same effect by the vendors of the liquid vitamins.
There are many different vitamins being sold to the general public that claim to be anti-aging. One true source of anti-aging is resveratrol, which comes from grapes!
