Why should I take a liquid supplement containing minerals and calcium?

Minerals and Calcium

If you're concerned that your diet does not contain enough calcium, you can take a nutritional supplement containing minerals and calcium. However, many people who rely solely on minerals and calcium pills or supplements may not be getting all the calcium and minerals they need, even if they take high dosages of the supplements, because many scientists have discovered only 15 to 20 percent of these pill supplements are absorbed into the body.

A better source of minerals and calcium is a liquid supplement that contains both calcium and minerals like magnesium, which helps calcium adsorb into the bloodstream more completely. Some liquid supplements are adsorbed as much as 95 to 98 percent into the bloodstream, so taking a liquid calcium supplement that contains minerals and calcium makes sense if you want the most calcium available from your supplement.

What about something like the liquid supplements that Vitabase offers? I believe that there are quality retailers and retailers of lesser quality that may be selling you water. I have found a few retialers like vitabase that seem to be quality.
