Is Your Body Absorbing the Supplements You Consume?
Vitamin absorption testing can be very difficult to quantify given the number of unknown variables – dietary and genetic differences can affect the way each individual absorbs different food supplements, and the rate at which they absorb them.
But what we can calculate is the general timescale in which a given food supplement outer dissolves (or ruptures, in the case of softgels) and releases the active ingredient(s) – which can dictate whether or not the average person can digest and potentially absorb them before they pass through the human body.
Beyond this, we can also test for the time period in which the active ingredient(s) take to disintegrate and therefore become available for absorption.
Taking both of these measurements we can accurately predict the likelihood of any given food supplement being absorbed by the average human body.
Our absorption tests (dissolution/rupture and disintegration) can be broken-down and ordered individually to assess performance in both areas separately, or as a comprehensive package – giving you all the data you need to ensure that your supplement has potential to be absorbed.
ACCREDITED TESTING
We don’t rely on a single laboratory for every type of analysis. Instead, our mapped network of accredited laboratories allows us to route absorption testing directly to specialist facilities with the appropriate scope, methodology and accreditation for the analysis required. This means clients benefit from the right technical capability, competitive pricing and faster turnaround — without unnecessary layers of subcontracting.
Here’s some other reasons why we’re the leading lab…
With decades of collective experience in chemical and biological testing, our highly experienced team are perfectly placed to ensure a seemless, trouble-free testing process.
We use a state-of-the-art LIMs system for intercepting, recording, and delivering results to our customers in a secure, ultra-reliable way.
Our direct-to-source laboratory distribution algorithm matches every project with an accredited laboratory that specialises in the specific analyte or testing requirement. Rather than sending work through a generalist lab that may simply subcontract it elsewhere — a common industry practice — we go directly to the laboratory performing the analysis. This helps deliver better pricing, faster turnaround times and the right specialist expertise for every project. Contact us for highly competitive food supplement absorbability testing.
