Are You Really Absorbing Your Supplements? The Truth About Bioavailability

Why Bioavailability Matters

You can take the best supplement in the world… but if your body can’t absorb it, it won’t work.

Bioavailability simply means how well your body can absorb and use a nutrient. Not everything you consume actually gets into your bloodstream—many nutrients get destroyed in the stomach, poorly transported, or not activated.

This is why two people can take the same supplement and get completely different results.

Why Some Supplements Don’t Absorb Well

Common absorption blockers include:

  • Low stomach acid (common after age 35)
  • Stress (slows digestion and enzyme release)
  • Poor gut health
  • Inflammation
  • Taking supplements with the wrong foods
  • Cheap ingredient forms (magnesium oxide, basic curcumin powder, etc.)

Nutrients That NEED High Absorption

These nutrients are famous for poor absorption unless formulated correctly:

Magnesium

Only chelated or glycinate forms have meaningful absorption.

(Amvilab Magnesium High Absorption uses gentle, bioavailable forms.)

Curcumin (Turmeric 95%)

Curcumin dissolves poorly in water. Without BioPerine, your body absorbs only 1–3%.

(Amvilab Curcumin includes BioPerine.)

CoQ10

Absorption varies dramatically between formulas.

(Amvilab CoQ10 uses an optimal dose of 120mg for heart and cellular energy.)

Omega-3s

Quality depends on purification and triglyceride form.

(Amvilab Omega-3 is molecularly distilled for purity and potency.)

Proteolytic Enzymes

Must survive stomach acid to work systemically.

(Amvilab Serrapeptase, 3X Enzymes, and Trypsin/Chymotrypsin are enteric-coated for protected delivery.)

How to Improve Absorption Naturally

  • Take magnesium and curcumin with meals
  • Take probiotics on an empty stomach
  • Take enzymes away from food (for inflammation)
  • Pair fat-soluble vitamins with healthy fats
  • Reduce caffeine with your supplements
  • Support digestion with ACV+, enzymes, or probiotics

The Amvilab Difference

Amvilab formulates each product in the most absorbable, science-backed way:

  • BioPerine for nutrient uptake
  • Chelated minerals
  • Molecular distillation
  • Enteric-coated systemic enzymes
  • Gut-friendly capsule bases

Better absorption → better results.

Takeaway

Don’t just take supplements. Absorb them.

Better bioavailability means more energy, better mood, stronger immunity, healthier inflammation response, and more effective long-term wellness.
