Enhancing Vitamin and Mineral Absorption
Monday, September 21st, 2009Many of the health issues faced by people today can be attributed to nutritional deficiencies. Malabsorption is a common problem where nutrients from food or supplements are not properly utilized within the gastrointestinal tract. A lack of nutrients may lead to serious health conditions, which is why it is important to have proper absorption of vitamins, minerals, herbs and nutrients.

Optimize What?
Enzymedica has been a leader in enhancing digestion, absorbability, and thus the nutritional status of the consumer through the use of plant based enzymes. Enzymedica now goes a step further in enhancing the absorption of vitamins, minerals, herbs as well as nutrients with Vitamin & Mineral Optimize.
Bioperine
The active ingredient in Vitamin & Mineral Optimize is Bioperine, a standardized extract from the fruit of Piper nigrum L (black pepper). Bioperine is fat soluble so it is able to penetrate intestinal cell membranes, leading to better absorption. It is regarded as a thermonutrient that can stimulate thermogenesis. This means that it can increase energy available for nutrient absorption by increasing the activity of enzymes, and may also increase blood flow to the gastrointestinal tract and increase the levels of enzymes involved in transport of nutrients into intestinal cells.

Enhancing Supplements
The potency in Vitamin & Mineral Optimize is specifically designed for supplemental vitamin, mineral and herb absorption when taken on an empty stomach. Vitamin & Mineral Optimize can help you get the most out of the nutrients you consume. To learn more about absorption of supplements, read volume 3, issue 2 of the Enzymedica newsletter.
