BIOAVAILABILITY

WRITTEN BY WILL B

CO-FOUNDER CEO | PET MATRX

What is it? And why is it the most important word in pet supplementation no one is talking about?

Bioavailability in simple terms is the rate at which a compound can be absorbed. When we’re talking about oral supplementation, compounds must go through first-pass metabolism in the liver which then gets digested through the release of liver enzymes, then a percentage of the remaining is utilized through absorption.

WHATTODO?

Step 1: You’re already doing it! Ask questions and find answers.

Step 2: Find a wellness partner.

Companies who are at the very least talking about solving these problems.

Step 3: Be consistent. Random use will equal random results.
