Vitamins & minerals in a spray? Popular sublingual spray product puts liquid vitamins in a spray bottle

format. For people who can't take pills, capsules or tablets, these
liquid vitamins ("sublingual sprays") certainly seem to make sense from
a convenience point of view. But are they effective? In other words, are
these vitamins & minerals absorbed as quickly as the ones you swallow?
From a physiological point of view, there's little question that
they are equally effective. Spraying liquid vitamins into your mouth
puts them squarely in the digestive tract. Digestion begins in the
mouth, in fact, and simply continues in the stomach. So as long as you
don't spit out the vitamin sprays, you'll be digesting them just as well
as vitamins & minerals you might be swallowing. The real question,
in my opinion, comes down to cost: is the cost per dose worth the price?
Without question, liquid vitamins in a spray format are far more
expensive per dose than other forms of vitamins such as whole food
supplements. I haven't done the math on these, but I wouldn't be
surprised if they were twenty times more expensive per dose. And yet, at
the same time, all vitamins & minerals are cheap compared to
the high cost of medical care that can be prevented by taking
supplements, so even high priced sublingual sprays, if they're what you
need, are worth every penny. The key question about these sprayable
vitamins, then, is a personal one: is it convenient for you? If the
spray format helps you take vitamins & minerals where otherwise you
might not, then certainly they're worth the cost. These sprayable
vitamins are also convenient for traveling or carrying with you to work.
Regular vitamins & minerals are sometimes hard to carry around, but
these liquid sprayable vitamins are as convenient to carry as breath
freshener. That benefit, all by itself, easily justifies their price.
The bottom line: if you're doing fine on capsules, pills and tablets
for your vitamin & mineral supplements, then you may not need liquid
sprayable vitamins. But if you enjoy the convenience of being able to
easily carry vitamins & minerals to work, on the airplane, in your
purse, etc., then by all means consider these sprayable liquid vitamins.
Do I take them myself? No, I don't, but if I were about to go on a
trip, or I worked a regular desk job, I'd definitely buy some and use
them regularly.
