Robert Whitfield MD explains why he prescribes liposomal liquid supplements instead of capsules. Liquid formulations absorb better and patients actually take them consistently, which he says matters more than pausing for surgery.
So we use them and they're all liposomal, which is a liquid based formulation because I want my patients to absorb it and get the nutrients that they need right away. So if you were to take a capsule, a hard capsule or a gel capsule, or a capsule with powder inside, I don't know how you're going to absorb that. I don't know how I'm going to absorb that. So I wouldn't really bank on, and I know this for facts, I did this for several years with my patients. Patients will stop doing things if it's hard to do, hard to remember if a pill is difficult to swallow, if it's too large, if there's too many of them. So we like these sprays because they're easy to remember, they're easy to use. And I get my patients more interested in their own health that way. So everybody can do better with supplementation. I prefer my liposomal. So when you come work with me, I'm going to put you on my liposomal formulations because we have them balanced out so that I don't stop them for an operation. Where many people stop supplementation for an operation, we don't stop anything.
