• Question: Dear Debbie, My doctor says because I have a chronic illness that I don’t absorb the nutrition that I need to keep me healthy and to fight infections. I know you have Lupus which does the same. What do you recommend to help me absorb more of the vitamins that I need SC/TNN.

• Answer: True that many with chronic disease get sicker simply because they are not able to fight the illness . Nutrition is vital in the fight. I personally take all of my supplements in spray and liquid. Below is some info that explains why. I do take my nutrition very seriously. I take the best available for my body. Hope this helps.

• Spray Vitamins and Oral Absorption

• According to the prestigious Physicians’ Desk Reference for Nonprescription Drugs and Dietary Supplements�, oral absorption (spraying into the mouth and swallowing) is much more efficient than other forms of delivery, with the nutrients being rapidly absorbed by the lining of the mouth, called the buccal mucosa. The process of oral absorption is actually simple:

• Advantages of Oral Absorption

• Sprays are highly effective and rapidly absorbed.

• Sprays are easily administered every 3-4 hours, maintaining a more constant distribution of nutrients throughout the body.

• Sprays avoid the peaks and valleys common with once a day supplements.

• Sprays are “pure” and do not contain fillers or binders.

• Sprays can be taken anywhere and used without water, helping to cut down on missed doses.

• Sprays eliminate the awkwardness of swallowing a bulky pill.

• Sprays are ideal for those suffering from digestive disorders that can prevent or hinder the absorption of nutrients.

• When absorption, bioavailability and purity are taken into account, sprays are more economical than pills or capsules.

• Oral absorption is now the preferred delivery method for vitamins, nitroglycerin and many dietary supplements containing minerals, amino acids and herbs. It’s the fastest, most effective and convenient way to get a daily dose of the essential nutrients your body needs to stay healthy. In fact, this unique delivery system is supported by the Physicians’ Desk Reference for Nonprescription Drugs and Dietary Supplements� as the best way to achieve the nutritional supplement levels your body demands.

  I must agree strongly with Oral spray delivery.
  I would like to add that it’s very much used in Europe when one has a chest cold or soar throat also.
  Having moved to Canada I find the use of pills not as much of help as inhaling oral medicine/spray…and wonder why and what are the reasons they seemed to be looked down upon in America? Are doctors scared kids will use them for negative use? Thanks
