Why the steak sits heavy in the stomach
Bioavailability indicates how well the absorbed nutrients can be absorbed & utilized.
If you eat a piece of steak, it is likely that not all of the protein is digested, absorbed, and made usable for your own protein synthesis. Why?
- The protein must first be laboriously broken down by the body into amino acids.
- Some amino acids are not present in human requirements and are broken down again. Urea and possibly uric acid is formed
- The food does not contain all amino acids that a human needs
- High-quality enzymes and/or coenzymes are missing, which enable absorption or a renewed synthesis into human-specific proteins
Small dosages can achieve a lot
Priosa® energy contains protein building blocks in the form of free amino acids:
- The protein is already present in the form of amino acids.
- In addition, Priosa® energy contains vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 contributes to normal protein and glycogen metabolism.
The motto is: quality over quantity
That bioavailability is particularly important can be demonstrated using the example of spinach and broccoli. 100 grams of spinach contain approximately 105 mg of calcium. Whereas 100 grams of broccoli contain only approximately 65 mg of calcium. However, broccoli has over 6 times better bioavailability. So more calcium is absorbed than with spinach.
One should not necessarily be blinded by high dosages. More important than that is a well-thought-out formulation.
Sanopoly develops its formulations together with a medical advisory board.
Bioavailability therefore depends on the correct dosage form, the correct composition and the completeness of all vital substances necessary for the build-up.
