I. Introduction
In a world filled with options, it’s easy to assume that all supplements are created equal. But the difference between a product that simply lists ingredients and one that actually supports your body lies in two key principles: bioavailability and synergy.
These two concepts reflect the way the body naturally functions—absorbing, processing, and responding to nutrients in a dynamic, interconnected way. When supplements align with that process, they become more than routine—they become meaningful.
II. What Is Bioavailability?
Bioavailability refers to how efficiently a nutrient is absorbed and utilized by your body. It’s the difference between taking a supplement—and actually benefiting from it.
Some forms of nutrients require complex conversions before they can be used. Others are more easily recognized by the body in their active, bioavailable form. Choosing these forms helps ensure that what you take is what your body can truly access.
At More. Longevity & Wellbeing, we avoid synthetic or low-cost nutrient forms that are less efficiently absorbed—like folic acid or magnesium oxide. These ingredients are commonly used because they’re inexpensive and shelf-stable, but they don’t always align with the body’s natural processes. We prefer to use forms that are more compatible with the body’s biochemistry—even if they cost more to source—because we believe wellness should be effective, not just affordable.
III. Why Ingredient Form Matters
Here are a few of the bioavailable forms we use—and why they matter:
Magnesium Glycinate
Known for its gentle nature and high absorption rate, magnesium glycinate supports relaxation, cognitive balance, and muscle recovery—without the digestive discomfort often associated with other forms.
Methylfolate (B9) and Methylcobalamin (B12)
These are the activated forms of folate and B12, meaning they’re ready for the body to use without conversion. This is particularly helpful for individuals with common gene variations like MTHFR, where nutrient metabolism can be less efficient.
Zinc Bisglycinate
This chelated form is well-tolerated and readily absorbed, supporting immune function and skin health more effectively than less bioavailable forms.
Buffered Vitamin C (as Sodium Ascorbate)
Unlike regular ascorbic acid, which is acidic and can be harsh on the digestive system, sodium ascorbate is a gentler, non-acidic form of vitamin C. It delivers the same antioxidant and immune-support benefits—without the potential for irritation.
IV. What Is Nutrient Synergy?
Synergy refers to the way nutrients work together to enhance one another’s effects. Just like the systems in your body are interconnected, so too are the ingredients that support them.
When thoughtfully paired, nutrients can improve each other’s absorption and function. For example:
- Magnesium and B vitamins support nervous system health in a complementary way
- Vitamin C enhances the absorption of minerals like zinc
- Adaptogens such as ashwagandha, rhodiola, and ginseng, when combined with essential vitamins, offer more complete support for energy, resilience, and calm
V. Why It Matters
At its best, a supplement is more than a collection of ingredients. It’s a system of support—designed to meet your body where it is and work in harmony with how it functions.
That’s why we formulate using nutrients your body can absorb—paired with those that help them work even better. It’s about more than what’s listed on the label. It’s about what your body can actually use.
VI. The Bottom Line
When you choose nutrients that your body can truly absorb—and combine them in ways that reflect how the body naturally operates—you’re choosing more than a supplement. You’re choosing support that’s thoughtful, intentional, and built for real impact.
At More. Longevity & Wellbeing, we don’t use filler ingredients or synthetic shortcuts. We use bioavailable forms and synergistic combinations—because you deserve formulas that work as hard as you do.
Better ingredients. Thoughtful combinations. Real support.
