Identifying the bioavailability of bioactive ingredients is essential when evaluating their potential health benefits.
Bioavailability refers to the degree and rate at which a substance is absorbed and becomes available for physiological use within the body.
The ability of bioactive compounds to exert the desired therapeutic or preventive effects depends directly on their bioavailability.
Factors such as stability, solubility and absorption rate can all influence the bioavailability of these important nutrients and active ingredients.
Solubility plays a critical role in ingredient effectiveness. Without it, an ingredient has fewer chances to be absorbed, leading to low bioavailability.
