Nutrient Bioavailability Maximization refers to strategies employed to increase the fraction of ingested nutrients that are successfully absorbed, transported, and utilized at the cellular level.
Origin
This concept arises from clinical biochemistry and nutritional science, recognizing that intake does not always equate to systemic availability for metabolic processes.
Mechanism
Maximization often involves optimizing gastrointestinal conditions, such as pH or enzyme activity, or utilizing nutrient forms that possess superior membrane permeability or active transport mechanisms. Furthermore, synergistic nutrient pairings can enhance the absorption kinetics of key micronutrients required for endocrine function.
