Poor Bioavailability

You may be surprised to learn that each individual nutrient is available in different forms, each with different properties and different absorption rates. For example, Iron in commonly used products such as ferro-C is a ferrous fumerate, which is very poorly absorbed in the intestines, leading to constipation and bowel issues. This can be easily avoided by using an amino acid chelate of iron, which aids absorption.

Incorrect Portion of Plant or Adulteration

OTC herbal supplements cannot be trusted for potency, or that they are indeed what they say they are. There have been many identified cases of adulteration, where the supplier either uses a similar herb that is cheaper or adds chemicals to the herbal product. Without comprehensive testing most herbal companies will think that the herb they have is genuine when it may indeed be a fake.

Excipients

Excipients, sometimes known as “fillers”, are the compounds used to stabilize a tablet and help it adhere together. Certain excipients can impair absorption of the nutrients that the tablet contains. Other excipients can contain wheat, lactose or gluten which are allergenic. The way that a capsule is compressed can also be an issue. If it is compressed too much, the absorption in the intestines can be altered.
