It’s easy to assume that your body utilizes all of the nutrients and medicinal ingredients you give it. But this calculation is not as simple as nutrients consumed equal nutrients available. This equation is more accurately represented as nutrients absorbed equal nutrients available.
In fact, the effectiveness and potency of any drug, supplement or vitamin is completely dependent on its absorbability or bioavailability.
What Is Bioavailability?
Bioavailability refers to how much of a consumed supplement, vitamin or prescription medication ends up entering your bloodstream in its original form.
Supplements that are highly bioavailable easily slip through the gut barrier while those with low bioavailability tend to spend much more time in the gut. This extra time in the gut breaks the supplement into random fragments that no longer have the same potency as the original form. The extra time also often just moves things along and expensive supplements go straight out the other end.
What Impacts Bioavailability?
There are a host of reasons why a drug or supplement may not be readily bioavailable including the gender, age, and gut health of the person consuming the supplement.
However, one of the most important factors in determining bioavailability is the size of the molecule trying to cross the gut barrier.
Consider the basic process of digestion in which large particles are broken down by enzymes, acids and muscle action into particles small enough to be absorbed through the intestinal wall. This, sometimes long process, works well to extract nutrients from foods but when consuming a supplement or a medication it is most beneficial to have the supplement absorbed quickly so it has the best chance of entering your blood steam in its original form.
So, you can imagine that a supplement that is already in the form of a very small molecule will be absorbed much quicker and remain in its original form compared to a supplement that is too large to easily cross the gut barrier.

DeepMarine is a sustainable product using the skin and scale of wild-caught fish only. Skin and scales are full of highly valuable collagen proteins, yet they are normally discarded by fish processors. We use these skins in a sustainable manufacturing process called “up-cycling” and create a value-added, Canadian-made natural health product.
