It says that Absorb Plus is “pre-digested” – what does that mean?
“Pre-digested” means that the nutrients have been broken down into components that are much easier for your body to digest and absorb. The process of digestion involves breaking down food into nutrients that can be absorbed into the bloodstream. Hence the digestion of carbohydrates in the stomach takes about 1.5 hours, and protein takes about 2 hours. With Absorb Plus, since a lot of the “digestion” or breaking down has already been done, the nutrients are in your bloodstream about 20 minutes after ingestion.
