Additive free vegetarian capsules.

All the products within the bio-nature range of supplements are presented in excipient free formulas, using only active ingredients that are suitable for all, including vegetarians and vegans. We choose to present our products in this way so that they break down in the stomach quicker and easier than tablets or gelatine capsules.

Disintegration, dissolution and absorption.

By presenting our products in this form we can ensure that the active ingredients are made available for absorption in a way that is easy on the digestive tract, thus allowing each individual to gain the maximum effect from any capsule taken. Every food we eat needs to be broken down (digested) into forms that can be absorbed through the intestinal wall and into the blood stream. The vitamins, minerals and other co-nutrients in each of our formulas are already in forms that can be absorbed through the intestinal wall. So by rapidly disintegrating and dissolving in the stomach, our capsules ingredients are ready to be absorbed as soon as they enter the digestive tract, at the same time as the food they are taken with. Whilst we do not absorb 100% of any nutrient we digest, our simple delivery method allows the best possible absorption for each and every nutrient in all of our products.

Synergy and metabolism.

In developing our range of food supplements we considered the importance of synergy and balance ahead of potency. It is generally accepted within modern nutritional science that the synergistic effect of a combination of complimentary nutrients is more beneficial than a high potency, isolated nutrient. For a long time now, educated consumers have enjoyed the benefits of a combination of low levels of antioxidant nutrients over a high potency isolated vitamin C or vitamin E. In the same way a complex of nutrients that affect the circulation, repair and inflammation of a damaged joint will offer better results than mega potency of a single nutrient like Glucosamine.

In helping to understand how how this synergy works we first need to consider that for any nutrient to be effective in the body it needs to go through a series of changes, these changes are known as metabolism. Each nutrient has a specific metabolic channel and as a result too much of one nutrient can lead to a back log, resulting in the potential excretion (water soluble) or storage (fat soluble) of the non-metabolised excess. As each nutrient has a separate metabolic pathway the result is a greater overall metabolism from smaller amounts of several nutrients. It is this simple rule that leads to the amplified effect of combining synergistic nutrients.
