Is the liquid form of this product better than taking the pill form?

Yes, because it is easily and rapidly absorbed through the skin under the tongue. Being a nurse, this is a preferred way to have some types of medication absorbed quickly.

Yes it is and the taste is not bad...it actually taste like raspberries. Really easy to take.

Yes it is .it has a little off the wall taste which one can get used to after a few drops. For me I put it under my tongue..

Yes they do settle but, A quick shake to mix contents is still faster verses waiting for the pill form to get into your system. I have tried both forms.

Dose: one full dropper per day 18 and older, 1/2 dropper 18 and under. Pleasant tasting so go directly into your mouth, no mixing or fuss! The dosage is always smaller in liquid because the body can assimilate all of it. In pill or capsule form, only about .01% gets broken down in the digestive system and sometimes none at all depending on how strong your digestive system is. The body can only break down 150mcg at a time and will flush the rest out through the urine so its wasting your time and money trying to consume anymore than that at one time.

This is not the product I recommend. The bottle I like is in a bottle that is slmer and taller. It lasts about 2 weeks if you take it 3x per day. I've also found the pills work and are less expensive.

I've never tried the liquid but if you have trouble with heartburn or acid I would go with the liquid.

Yes. But it is very easy to swallow. There are many types of Magnesium supplements out there ( sulfate vs citrate) and this is the right one to be taking ( this correct type is difficult to find). I find the benefits are worth the size of the capsule-shaped pill ( not a big round pill). I hope I helped you.

I never used the liquid form but the capsules gave me diarrhea, which led to me getting hemorrhoids for the first time. I stopped using it.

Capsules are so much easier if you don't mind swallowing pills. The packets in water don't taste bad, (lemony, or a bit like fruity pebbles in my opinion), but there is a degree of "choking it down," day after day. If you get packets, I recommend using as little water as possible just to get it over with. The capsules aren't huge, about the size of Excedrin Gelcaps, so i now choose capsules exclusively.

I have had both, and found that the gel is more plyable and forms to your body more efficiently. It also holds up much better keeping it's (shape) better. I have had mine for 4 years and it is still great. I go to visit my children every year staying for a month. I ordered this one to have delivered to their house so it could be put on my bed there.

It's a liquid soluble Multivitamin as opposed to one that's a pill. Pills have fillers and binders that must be digested to get to the vitamin content. Much of the effectiveness is lost. The vitamins in liquid form are more readily absorbed. Bottom line for me, I keep it premixed in a large container and drink some with breakfast, lunch if I'm home, and dinner. It replaces juices, soft drinks, and other beverages that aren't beneficial.

It is a liquid and it tastes horrible. So bad in fact my husband (who cannot take a pill) won't use it, so wasted money. You can have mine!

I open my capsules and place the powder on my tongue. I don't like swallowing pills. Doesn't taste bad at all. Also get quicker results!

The pill is a medium sized vegetarian type capsule; so you could break it open and take the powder with food or drink. This could change how effective it is, depending on how you do it.

Both have the same benefits but you don't have to worry about a capsule dissolving in your system myself I like the liquid because I have difficulty swallowing such large pills two teaspoons a day same great benefits

Theoretically it should be the same active ingredient and create the same effect. It would just be your preference on taking a pill or swallowing a liquid. Personally, I prefer the pills, less messy. Hope this helps :)

It depends on your preferences - the formula is the same in both. My husband has difficulty taking pills & already takes a fair number of other supplements, so adding another 12 pills to his daily regimen was out of the question. With the powder form, you only do a scoop once a day, and it's slightly cheaper per day than the pills. Some people have trouble mixing it with juice (to camouflage the so-called "citrus" taste), but we have a stick immersion blender that works pretty well. The only thing I can say is that I'm glad I don't have to take it. I'm very sensitive to smells, and every time my husband mixes his "concoction", I can't stand the smell! He doesn't seem to mind, though. It depends on your preferences - the formula is the same in both.
