Answer 1

Your body absorbs almost anything that you ingest. I actually thought it absorbed everything until the doctor gave me ulcer medicine last week and told me the body doesn't absorb it. But anyway, it is well-known that the best way to take any vitamin is in liquid or chewable form. Sometimes the coatings that are put on commercial vitamins prohibit their breakdown by gastric acids, and the pills pass throught your bowels whole and intact. Chewable Centrum is good and so is Viactiv, which makes calcium and just came out with a multivitamin. I always purchase my liquid vitamins from the health food store. The liquid tends to taste bad, though, so be warned.

Answer 2

Not all liquids taste bad. I use Ningxia Red which is a whole food supplement.

Ingredients
Ningxia Red combines the finest of the Ningxia Wolfberries, Proprietary Nutrient-Guard Preparation, and other all-natural nutrient dense ingredients. In addition NingXia Red offers the highest protection against the dangerous superoxide free radical as tested by Brunswick Laboratories' S-ORAC test; contains the power of the whole Ningxia wolfberry and is packed full of polysaccharide-rich Ningxia wolfberry puree, with all of the health-giving wolfberry benefits (vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals) captured by a patented process; formulated to maintain and support normal immune function; contains five of the richest sources of free-radical-fighting antioxidants: wolfberry puree, blueberry, pomegranate, apricot, and raspberry juices; includes the essential oils of lemon and orange, which contain the phytochemical d-limonene to promote normal cell life cycles; has polysaccharides that support proper cell communication and will not spike blood sugar levels (NingXia Red's glycemic index score is 10.6; glycemic index score of table sugar is 83).
