The Science of Synergy vs. The Reality of Absorption

Two supplement bottles can look identical on the shelf, but if your body can’t absorb what’s inside, what’s the point? Supplements are only as good as their ability to deliver nutrients your body can use, and how those nutrients work together.

The Science of Synergy vs. The Reality of Absorption

What Your Body Actually Needs

Your body doesn’t thrive on single, isolated nutrients. It performs best when ingredients are thoughtfully combined so they help each other and are efficiently absorbed. This concept is called nutrient synergy.

For example:
Vitamin C helps your body absorb iron from plant sources.
Magnesium is necessary for activating vitamin D.
Piperine, an extract from black pepper, helps your body use curcumin from turmeric much better, but also has possible medication risks.
B vitamins work in synergy to support energy metabolism and many cellular processes. While each vitamin has its specific role, they provide their greatest benefit when present together and deficiencies can overlap. Taking a well-balanced B complex is often more effective than high doses of any single B vitamin.
A supplement is only as good as what your body can actually use.

The Bioavailability Problem

Two supplements may look the same, but your body might absorb them very differently.
For example:
Curcumin (from turmeric) is poorly absorbed unless paired with absorption boosters like piperine. However, piperine can affect how your body processes some medications.
Coenzyme Q10 absorption can vary by up to eight times depending on which chemical form is used in the supplement.
In short: smarter formulation, not bigger doses, delivers real benefits.

Why Synergy Matters

Your body is complex. Real results come when different nutrients and compounds work together.
Better sleep and relaxation need neurotransmitters, adaptogens, calming botanicals, minerals, and good gut health.
Bone health depends on a combination of calcium, vitamin D3, magnesium, vitamin K2, potassium, vitamin C, trace minerals, and more.
Liver health is supported by antioxidants, cleansing plants, and nutrients that help detox.

Instead of chasing single-ingredient “magic,” seek formulas that support all major needs together.

Principles of Smarter Supplement Design

Effective supplements are made with precision, not just a long list of ingredients.
Look for:
Nutrients that enhance each other
Balanced, safe doses—no extremes
Formulas that support the whole body, not just one target
Third-party tested products made to high quality standards

Crude supplementation is just adding isolated nutrients with little thought to how the body actually uses them. Precision nutrition uses ingredients combined intentionally, in forms your body can absorb, and in doses that make sense according to research.

What Consumers Expect Today

More and more, informed consumers want supplements that are:
Transparent about what’s inside and how they are tested
Focused on real education, not hype
Created with forms of nutrients that the body can truly absorb, instead of just listing high doses
Designed with combinations of ingredients for whole-body support

The wellness world is moving toward formulas that reflect real science and how the body actually works.

Precision Nutrition vs. Crude Supplementation

  • Crude supplementation means tossing in single nutrients, often with poor absorption.

  • Precision nutrition means combining the right elements so they work together, are easily absorbed, and are safe and tested.

Your body deserves intelligent nutrition, not shortcuts.

FAQ: Why doesn’t More. add black pepper extract (piperine) with turmeric?

Turmeric is just one of many ingredients we use to support whole-body health. Some supplement brands pair it with black pepper extract (piperine) to boost curcumin absorption. While that approach can work, research shows piperine may also interfere with how the liver processes certain medications, which can be unsafe for some people. Because turmeric is not a hero ingredient in our formulations, we take a safer and more balanced approach. We combine it with other antioxidants, botanicals, and nutrient forms that naturally support absorption, so you still get benefits without unnecessary risks.
