Key Points about Bioavailability

Bioavailability refers to the extent and rate at which an active ingredient or active moiety is absorbed and becomes available at the site of action in the body. In simpler terms, it measures how much of a substance (like a nutrient or medication) effectively enters the bloodstream and can be utilized by the body.

Key Points about Bioavailability:

• Formulation: The way a supplement is made can impact absorption.
• Digestive Health: Individual differences in gut health can affect how nutrients are absorbed.
• Food Interactions: Some foods can enhance or inhibit the absorption of certain nutrients.
• Chemical Properties: Solubility and stability of the compound play significant roles.

• High bioavailability means that more of the active ingredient reaches the target area, leading to improved efficacy.
• Understanding bioavailability helps in developing effective supplements and medications.

• Bioavailability is often expressed as a percentage, indicating how much of the administered dose is available for use in the body.

         4. Improving Bioavailability:

• Technologies like ECell™ aim to enhance bioavailability through better formulation, which can help ensure that the nutrients are absorbed efficiently.
