In order for nutrients contained in dietary supplements to effectively provide the important health benefits for which they are intended, it is critical that supplements are formulated with optimal absorption in mind.
While this might appear obvious, the task can be easier said than done. Our digestive tract is essentially an aqueous environment, and although our bodies are equipped with systems (i.e, enzymes, bile acids, etc.) to assist with the absorption of fat and other compounds that are poorly soluble in water, there are numerous nutrients for which the body still has a very difficult time absorbing.
The absorption of fat based nutrients and supplements such as curcumin, CoQ10, omega and fish oils, hemp seed oil, and vitamins A, D, E, and K by the aqueous human digestive tract has many healthcare providers recommending their consumption along with fatty foods. There are effective formulation technologies that allow these poorly absorbed nutrients to be better get through the lining of the GI tract and into the blood.
To help you and your patients get the highest absorption rates from fat based supplements, look for products with VESIsorb®. It is a patented, naturally self-assembling colloidal droplet delivery system which closely mimics the manner in that the human body digests and absorbs fat.
