Supplements by the human body

Have you ever wondered how supplements can find their way into your body? Then read on and discover the journey of the supplements you take.

Where does the supplement journey begin?

Of course, it starts in the mouth. When you swallow the supplement, an intact capsule passes through the esophagus into the stomach. Read on for the rest of the trip..

What role does the stomach play when taking supplements?

The stomach has gastric juices and acid. The stomach is not only responsible for breaking down food, but also for breaking down supplements. To prevent the supplement from coming into contact with stomach acid, a stomach acid-resistant layer is placed around the supplement. This layer is not dissolved in the stomach but only in the intestines, so that the supplement is only released in the intestines and can no longer come into contact with stomach acid. Supplements must first be absorbed before they can work. This often happens in the small intestine. Some supplements are absorbed faster than others.

Tip from Goldea

Do you have trouble swallowing the supplement? Then tilt your head forward a bit while swallowing. This will prevent the supplement you are swallowing from getting stuck in your throat. Take a sip of water, place the supplement on your tongue and swallow it with large gulps of water. Then drink a full glass of water. For best absorption, take your supplements with your meal rather than before or after.

How does the supplement know where to go?

The supplement does not know that. Supplements are absorbed from the intestines into the blood, after which they can be distributed throughout the body. That distribution in the body is different for each supplement.

How are supplements absorbed into your body?

All nutrients require other nutrients for proper absorption. For example, if you take magnesium but do not (yet) have enough vitamin D in your body, your body cannot absorb the supplements properly. The body is a complex machine. Where one thing complements the other. Another good example is curcumin . When you combine turmeric with pepper, the levels of curcumin in your blood shoot up. Because the substance Bioperine in black pepper slows down the breakdown process.

Why does Goldea Health have supplements with high absorption?

Nature provides an enormous amount of powerful substances that can do a lot of good for a person. Goldea Health knows how to make careful use of this. In collaboration with (natural) scientists and therapists from the Netherlands, Goldea Health has developed its supplements. Each unique formula is tailored to a specific need and contributes to a healthy body.

How do supplements find their way out?

There are several ways in which the human body can get rid of supplements. This can be through the kidneys but also through the liver. Some supplements go out through both organs. Our kidneys filter the blood. Supplements that are filtered are collected in the urine.
