If swallowing capsules is a challenge, don’t worry—there are ways to get your vitamins and minerals without pills. Liquid and powder supplements are easy to take, often absorb better and make it simple to get what your body needs, even if you struggle with capsules.
Vimergy is a standout for people looking for nutrient-dense liquid supplements. They currently offer 19 options, including Vitamin D3, which I recommend to pair with their Brain Body Recharge Blend that contains Vitamin K2 for better absorption. They also have B12, Zinc and Atlantic Dulse, which is rich in magnesium, calcium, potassium, iron, iodine and copper. Their herbal tinctures-Nettle, Lemongrass, Milk Thistle, Licorice, and Ashwagandha-add even more minerals and nutrients, and for extra immune support, Vimergy also has Elderberry & Honey Formula, Propolis, Olive Leaf and their Total Immune Blend.
Another excellent option is Global Healing, which offers liquid Vitamin D (without K2), Omega 3•6•7•9, Vitamin C, Iodine, Vitamin E, Selenium and more. Their herbal line includes 5 single-herb tinctures-like Moringa-and 11 herbal blends, giving you a good choices based on your health goals and concerns.
Powder supplements are another simple way to get nutrients without capsules. Megafood Magnesium Powder, Sufficient-C Vitamin C Powder, Abundant-B High-Dose Methyl B-12 and Biotin, and Glutenizer Digestive Enzyme Blend can be mixed into water or juice. Probiotic capsules can even be opened and added to food or drinks for easy consumption.
Other liquid options I recommend include Pure Mountain Botanicals, which has a Liquid B-complex, Vitamin D, and Iodine, Kovite or L.A. Naturals Folinic Acid, a gentle folate option, and Trace Minerals Cal/Mag/Zinc, which pairs well with liquid chlorophyll to naturally balance zinc with copper in your diet. For Omega-3s, Natural Force Fish Oil is another great liquid option.
With these options, you can cover almost all your vitamin and mineral needs without ever touching a capsule.
