Why is the absorbability of supplements so important?

Golden Naturals tells it (and has it)!

If you take a dietary supplement, you naturally expect that you digest it well and that you quickly benefit from the active substances. Unfortunately it is not that simple. The degree of absorption in your body plays a crucial role in this. The inclusion of a supplement depends on a number of factors. How are active substances absorbed by your body to the maximum? And why is it better to opt for supplements and vitamins with bioactive substances instead of the synthetic variant? We tell you in this blog!

How does the absorption of active substances in our body work?

Our digestion starts as soon as we eat or drink something. The functioning of our digestive system is a complicated and extensive process. The aim of this process is to remove all useful substances from the food. The food we consume is 'broken down' by gastric juices in the stomach into smaller particles that can be absorbed by the body. The stomach then transports small amounts of food to the intestines, where the active substances are converted and absorbed. What our body can't use or absorb is eliminated as feces. This total process takes approximately 24 to 48 hours.

The importance of good stomach and intestinal function

The big difference in absorbability of different supplements is mainly made in the stomach, intestines and other organs such as the liver. For example, you need good stomach function and enough stomach acid to split minerals such as iron and magnesium. Only then can your intestines easily absorb the active substances. Some supplements only come into their own in the intestines, such as probiotics. We have also thought of this: Golden Naturals' probiotic products are contained in gastro-resistant capsules. As a result, they arrive 'undamaged' via the stomach at their destination: the intestines.

Natural supplements or the synthetic variant?

The second factor is the quality of the dietary supplement. You can roughly divide food supplements into 'synthetic' and 'natural'/'bioactive'. The absorbability is largely determined by the degree of bioactivity. More and more people are switching to natural supplements with bioactive substances instead of the synthetic variant. Not surprising: natural, bioactive vitamins are simply better absorbed by the body since they are natural and body-specific nutrients. Simply put: your body no longer needs to convert the substances into a usable form, because we have already done that for you! Although synthetic supplements are often cheaper, they are less well absorbed by the body, reducing their effectiveness. So a waste of your money.

Our secret: BioPerine!

In addition to bioactive substances, Golden Naturals has another secret that gives the absorbability a mega boost. BioPerine^® , have you ever heard of it? It is a powerful extract from the black pepper fruit (Piper nigrum Linn) that grows mainly in South India. BioPerine^® has beenadded to many Golden Naturals products as a natural excipient. The special thing about BioPerine^® is that it significantly improves the bioavailability of supplements and nutrients. BioPerine^® helps the intestinal cells to relax better, allowing useful nutrients to enter the bloodstream more easily. Because BioPerine^® strongly promotes the absorption of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants, it also increases the influence of nutrients and supplements. A very useful, natural excipient!

In short: make a conscious and smart choice when it comes to dietary supplements. Always check the label or ask the seller questions, and choose bioactive substances as much as possible.
