What do you meAn by “bioavailable” nutrition?

Well, the old expression is “You are what you eat,” and there is some truth in that expression: you certainly stand a better chance of keeping healthy by watching your fat, sugar and processed food intake. We have all seen what excessive calories and lack of exercise can do to exacerbate poor health, but in supplements as well as in food, it’s not what you eat, it’s what you absorb. The form of the vitamins and minerals you use dictates how readily available your nutrients are. It isn’t enough to say, “I took my calcium today.” What form did you take? Some, such as calcium gluconate or carbonate, are poorly absorbed; calcium citrate, on the other hand, has excellent absorption. So, 1,000 mg of one might look as if you’re getting your calcium supplemented nicely, but not if you only absorb 150 mg of the dosage. We at NatureStar have selected only the best forms of vitamins and minerals, in just the right dosages and combinations, to ensure maximum absorption and utility by the body.
