How well your body absorbs a supplement can make the difference between transformation and wasted effort. Supplement absorption aka bioavailability, plays a critical role in how well your body uses the nutrients you take.
Even high-quality ingredients can be ineffective if they’re not absorbed properly. When bioavailability is low, results are limited. When it’s optimised, you get more impact from every dose.
Put simply: effective supplementation isn’t just about what you take.
It’s about what your body can actually absorb.
What Is Bioavailability, and Why Should You Care?
Bioavailability refers to how much of a nutrient or compound actually reaches your bloodstream and becomes active. Some supplements only deliver 10–20% of their nutrients. That means up to 90% of what you’re taking may be flushed away unused.
Why? Hard-pressed tablets and standard capsules take time to break down. They pass through the digestive tract slowly. In many cases, the active ingredients are lost to gut breakdown or filtered out before they ever reach the bloodstream.
You might be taking all the right ingredients but if your body can’t absorb them, they’re doing very little.
Liquid Supplements: A More Efficient Approach
Liquid supplements are absorbed more quickly and completely than pills or powders. They bypass many of the digestive delays associated with tablets and capsules, which are often packed with binders, coatings, and fillers that slow absorption.
Because liquids don’t rely on breakdown in the stomach, they’re absorbed faster and more efficiently, with some clinical studies suggesting absorption rates of up to 85–90%, which is a significant leap from standard capsules.
In a whitepaper by Dr. Edward Jones, he highlights several examples (LINK):
- Liquid L-Thyroxine outperformed tablets in delivering hormonal stability at equivalent doses.
- Vitamin C in liquid form showed greater bioavailability, particularly in individuals with higher lean mass.
- Liquid glucosamine achieved peak plasma concentrations more rapidly and effectively than chewables.
These aren’t just details. They’re proof that how you take something is just as important as what you take.
INORA’s Approach: Formulas That Actually Work
INORA’s liquid formulations are engineered with absorption in mind. We use advanced liposomal delivery; a clinically proven method that protects nutrients through digestion and delivers them directly to where they’re needed most.
Every drop is efficient and precisely formulated. No binders. No bulking agents. No filler.
Just ingredients your body recognises, in a form it can actually use. Whether you're supporting energy, focus or restoration, each formulation is made to fit seamlessly into your day and deliver results you can feel.
Conclusions
You don’t need more supplements.
You need ones that work.
You need ones that are clinically considered, precisely formulated, and built on research you can trust.
Because bioavailability isn’t about volume.
It’s about what your body can actually use and what you can genuinely feel.
