Fizz is fun” most would agree, but can it be good for you?

Many would raise eyebrows to this because of the bad reputation fizzy drinks have earned worldwide. Infamous for their ill effects on health like high sugar, obesity, damage to teeth enamel, acidity and other serious disorders in the body. To sum the popular notion- fizz and health do not go hand-in-hand. But we are going to bust this myth for you by telling you how good a fizzy drink can be for your health and wellbeing. How, you ask? Well, let’s find out.

Fizz tablets vs Regular tablets

Regular tablets are solid oral dosages that take time to dissolve in the stomach resulting in delayed-action and a slower rate of nutrient absorption. While effervescent tablets overcome this challenge, they release carbon dioxide when they come in contact with water or other liquids, which quickly disintegrates and dissolves the tablets into a homogeneous solution that is faster and better to absorb. Also there are some compositions that may be moisture or pH sensitive, which are formulated as effervescent tablets.

People who find it difficult to swallow regular tablets/capsules prefer to fizz up. Effervescent tablets are convenient to consume and make tasty, refreshing fizzy drinks quickly that have higher efficacy.

Quick Absorption And Action

Effervescent tablets uniformly dissolve as compared to conventional tablets, which have a longer lag time in nutrient-release. The fizzy formulations are 100% bio-available providing faster and better gastrointestinal absorption of nutrients.
Hence, effervescent oral drug-delivery systems are more effective for people with poor digestive health or sore throats. Getting therapeutic nutrition in the form of a fizz drink can also be a big relief to those who are taking multiple oral medications in the day.  

Tasty Hydration – Gulp or Glassful

Generally, people wash down a regular tablet with a few gulps of water but an effervescent supplement adds a full glass of nutrient-rich hydration to the body. Also studies have shown that people are more inclined to consume palatable nutritional- supplements and effervescent tablets add tasty flavors to the drink making them a healthy replacement of other sugary pick-me-ups. Indeed a fun way to get twin benefits from a health and hydration standpoint.

Easy on the gut

Effervescent tablets dissolve entirely and uniformly to provide quicker effective absorption. In contrast, regular tablets being solid, when ingested, can at times partially dissolve, leading to localized concentrations of the ingredients resulting in irritation and discomfort. Fizzy formulations are designed for faster onset of action without inducing any stomach or esophageal irritation.

Anywhere-Anytime nutrition

Effervescent tablets are easy to carry and easy to consume. You can simply dunk one of these good guys in the water and savor a fine health drink anywhere. Unlike regular tablets and powders, effervescent tablets do not require stirring to ensure if it has dissolved properly, with no trace of a lump behind.
