Supplements - liquid or powder?

[cabbagepatch88]

Hi all,

Quick question - if you want to feed a supplement and it comes in liquid or powder form, which one do you go for? Is there any benefit to either?

Thanks

Liquid is usually more palatable, or so I have found - especially the Global herbs liquid!

I use powder as it normally works out more economical. if it doesn't work out more economical officially it usually still does as there is a temptation to splash liquid willy-nilly in to the feed instead of carefully measuring it out. A measuring spoon kept in the powder container tends to cut that out

If I am introducing a new Supplement I normally use liquid as it is absorbed into the system quicker and the about a week later will add the powder or herbal one reducing the liquid. By then the liquid has done its job and the powder/ herbal one takes over.

A powder is more stable and less likely to go off. (And for that reason, are less likely to contain preservatives. Liquids are more usually easily absorbed.
