The Supplement You Took This Morning May Have Already Failed You
- The label on a supplement bottle tells you what went into the capsule — not what reaches your cells. For a great many products, the gap between those two numbers is enormous, and it is invisible at the point of purchase
- The scientific term for how much of a compound actually reaches your bloodstream in active form is bioavailability. Most oral supplements lose a large fraction of their dose to stomach acid, poor solubility, and rapid elimination before they ever do any good
- Fat-soluble plant compounds and minerals are especially vulnerable, which is why two products with nearly identical labels can produce completely different results in the real world
- Across the research, one theme repeats: improving delivery improves outcomes. The active ingredient is rarely the limiting factor — the delivery is
- Understanding this single problem is the foundation of everything I am going to share over the next several articles, where I'll also introduce a new generation of supplements engineered around delivery from the molecule outward
