Question

aaronq · Answer

Assuming they have the same chemical composition and thus are absorbed by the body at the same rate, chewing the vitamin will be faster; this is because the ground material has a larger surface area, which increases it's availability and consequently, the rate of absorption. If you swallow the pill, you are limited to the rate of dissolution of the pill.
