Bioavailability Enhancement

Meaning

Bioavailability Enhancement is a critical pharmaceutical and nutritional strategy designed to significantly increase the fraction of an administered compound that is absorbed into the systemic circulation and subsequently made available to exert its intended biological effect. Clinically, this is vital for therapeutic agents, including hormones and essential micronutrients, which often have poor oral absorption or extensive first-pass hepatic metabolism. A high bioavailability index ensures that a lower administered dose can achieve the necessary plasma concentration for optimal receptor engagement. This enhancement directly correlates with therapeutic efficacy and patient response.
