Why the fizz from the effervescent tablets?
Effervescent tablets were designed to produce solutions that release carbon dioxide when in contact with water. The carbon dioxide mixes with the air which causes the fizz. These tablets are prepared by compressing the active ingredients with mixture of sodium bicarbonate and organic acids such as citric and tartaric acid.
Effervescent tablets are easily dissolved into water or a liquid of your choice and then after a while well mixed and ready to drink. Some tablets or powders, however, need to be measured and stirred in repeatedly to avoid an inconsistent drink with lumpy bits and an odd taste and this is where effervescent tablets are more efficient. Simply drop them in and they dissolve fully and evenly ensuring you get all the benefits of the tablet which is easy to drink too.
Effervescent tablets are great alternative for those who may have trouble swallowing either due to illness or age. Older individuals may have difficulty swallowing but need to take medication or supplements on a regular basis. Effervescent tablets can be a lot easier than having to swallow a tablet for them. Also, it is a good way of ingesting medicine for individuals with sore throats or medical issues that make swallowing difficult and so are a viable alternative to regular tablets.
Effervescent tablets are so popular due to the different flavors available in it. Also, they can be dissolved in a liquid such as water or fruit juice, meaning that they often taste better than regular tablets. Conventional tablets dissolve slowly which can result in reduced absorption rates, effervescent tablets, in contrast, dissolve quickly and completely, meaning you get the full nutritional benefits from the ingredients present in it.
