Supplement Absorption
We all know that vitamins and minerals are vital in maintaining healthy bodily systems. However, many of us are also aware that our foods are providing less of what we need, due to over processing and certain farming techniques.

There are so many supplements and multivitamins available that it can be extremely confusing to know which is the best and what you should take.

One thing we can rely on is that nutrients from a plant source are always far superior to synthetic products produced in a laboratory.

The human body needs certain ratios of specific nutrients in order to function properly and efficiently - our bodies can be thrown out of sync by even one nutrient deficiency. Most vitamins and minerals need a specific combination and ratio of other complimentary vitamins and minerals for effective metabolic reaction.

The vitamin and mineral molecules in foods are attached to proteins, carbohydrates and fats. Our body recognises all of these as fuel. Unfortunately, most supplements are synthetically engineered combinations of only isolated vitamins and minerals. The labels of these supplements may claim the consumer will receive their daily requirements if they take the recommended dosage. However, many of these nutrients are not bound to anything, so they may have an entirely different chemical structure than those found in foods. This also means, that they may have a different effect on the body.

It is well known that some nutrients, such as calcium and iron, are not well absorbed. Complex factors that aid absorption may be missing in lab formulated supplements.

Studies have shown that the nutrients delivered by spirulina are better digested and absorbed than any synthetic supplement.

Spirulina offers functional nutrients and phytochemicals, as well as new frontiers for disease prevention research. Medical research is now identifying the foods that enhance our immune system. These research organisations are probing the globe for diverse new foods and plants from which to extract life enhancing goodness, including cancer preventing compounds. Spirulina is at the forefront of this nutritional revolution.
