Supplements in liquid form will be absorbed faster than supplements in either tablet or capsule form. As vitamins are needed in only relatively small amounts, someone already eating a well balanced diet may not need an additional supplement but taking a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement is a good insurance policy.

Hi skeptic,

I'm an east coaster too and one who needs that data to back up claims before I go lemming-like into the next big thing. While I've been wondering about this myself, my quick search did not provide me with any real proof. The article found here does speak to the two sides of the debate and might shed some light. it left me back at square one but I tend towards a liquid vitamin which is mixed from a powder for my multi because they have compelling literature and I trust the company. I also swear by powdered Vitamin C products to be mixed with liquid. So after all I guess it's a matter of what we want to believe.
