Helping Nutrients Reach Their Full Potential!
Nutrients Must Be Absorbed to be Effective
One of the major criticisms of supplements is that many ingredients are too difficult for the body to absorb, and therefore of little use. In order to make botanicals, vitamins, or ingredients of any type more effective and consistent, they may require an extra boost.
Sometimes, nutrients that have already shown promise just need a little help to make them better and easier to take. Curcumin from turmeric is a great example. It is considered one of the plant's most valuable compounds, but to get much benefit from it, large doses – up to twelve grams in some cases – were previously recommended. That's why it's important to look for a curcumin blended with turmeric essential oil for much greater absorption and bioavailability – compared to standard extracts, it is 7 times better absorbed.
But what about nutrients that don't have closely related absorption systems, like turmeric oil is for curcumin? How do you get fat-soluble ingredients, which are by their very nature tougher for the body to absorb, into the bloodstream so they can provide real, noticeable benefits?
The Answer is GammaSorb®
GammaSorb (gamma cyclodextrin) has been shown to improve the absorption of certain fat-soluble nutrients, in some cases by as much as 8 times, by enveloping them in a water-soluble shell. To be more specific, the gamma cyclodextrin plant-derived molecules surround fat-soluble ingredients in an open-ended microscopic structure, the exterior of which is water soluble. This exterior structure escorts the ingredients through the walls of the intestines and allows their fat-soluble contents to be more efficiently absorbed.
