(NewsUSA) - Vitamins are essential to our daily health and well being, warding off a host of diseases and conditions and promoting everything from eye health to prenatal wellness.

However, with pre-made dinners and busy days, it's not easy to ensure that you and your family are getting the proper nutrition, making it no surprise that more and more Americans are turning toward vitamin supplements. In fact, approximately 85 million Americans take vitamin supplements on a regular basis.

In today's market, vitamins come in all shapes, sizes and forms, so how do you choose -; especially when it comes to a liquid or tablet vitamin?

* Absorption: When choosing a nutritional supplement, it's important to consider how well your body will be able to absorb the vitamins. For example, research has shown that liquids absorb at a better rate than vitamins in a tablet form. That's right, liquids are absorbed at a 98 percent rate, while tablets at a 10-20 percent rate. What does this mean? It means that only 10-20 percent of the nutritional benefits of your tablet vitamin actually reach and affect your system. This is an especially important consideration for individuals aged 40-60 whose ability to absorb nutrients from foods and vitamins sees a 70 to 90 percent decline.

* Easy to take: Most adults don't have trouble swallowing pills, but young children and aging adults may face some difficulty. A liquid supplement could be the best solution.

* Taste: While it may seem trivial, a vitamin, especially in a liquid form, with a bad taste can be a major deterrent. However, products, such as NuVim, a fruit-flavored dietary supplement drink, offers great taste and has NutraFlora, a prebiotic fiber to help the body absorb minerals and vitamins. NuVim also contains 30 percent of your vitamin A requirement and 100 percent of your daily requirements of vitamins C, E, B12 and zinc.
