For people who use vitamin supplements as part of their healthy living regime, it’s good to know that all vitamin supplements are not created equal.  Many vitamins you find in drug stores, fine retailers or get from health companies, they are not bio-available - not easily absorbed by your body – in which many essential nutrients your body needs (from vitamins) are lost in the digestive system.  Remember, as we age (especially after age 40), our body's digestive system becomes less able to absorb many important vitamins such as Vitamin B, Vitamin C, Folic Acid and lots of others, and our energy, mental focus, emotional balance, heart health and memory are all paying the price.  So, taking high-grade vitamins that are bio-available is crucial to your long-term health because they ensure your body getting sufficient amount of nutrients to allow it to perform at its best every day, and this can make a big difference in a person’s health & wellness as opposed to taking regular vitamin pills.

If you have free time, the best way to find bio-available vitamin supplements is through your own research – internet is one of the best resources to do research.  There are only a few nutraceutical companies in the world who manufacture bio-available vitamins.  All these companies have received certification or approval from at least one major university studies, clinical studies or other third-party researches that states particular nutritional/vitamin supplements are effective to deliver the results or the benefits they are formulated for.  For example : B Vitamin.  This vitamin is taken by millions of people worldwide, and it supposed to give you the real boost of energy, mental focus, positive mood and memory.  For regular B Vitamin pills that you swallow, since they are absorbed through your digestive system – they increase your blood levels of Vitamin B-12 by only 1.2% which basically don’t work.  For bio-available B Vitamins, they can increase your blood levels of Vitamin B-12 by 90% !
