    Quatrefolic® Superior Bioavailability Profile

     

    When evaluating the potential health benefits of bioactive ingredients, understanding their bioavailability is paramount.  In-house screening tests show Quatrefolic® outperforms old-generation calcium salts, offering a superior bioavailability profile.

     

    Bioavailability refers to the degree and rate at which a substance is absorbed and becomes available for physiological use within the body.

     

    This measure of absorption and utilization is crucial, as it directly impacts the efficacy and effectiveness of the bioactive ingredient. A highly bioavailable compound is more likely to be effectively transported, distributed, and utilized by the body’s systems, leading to the desired physiological outcomes.

     

    This knowledge can guide the development of innovative formulations, dosing strategies, and delivery systems that maximize the bioavailability and, consequently, the health-promoting effects of these valuable compounds.
