Nutrient Delivery

Meaning

The physiological process encompassing the efficient absorption, systemic transport, and ultimate cellular uptake of essential macro- and micronutrients required for optimal metabolic function and cellular integrity. In the context of wellness, this refers not just to dietary intake but to the bioavailability and successful translocation of necessary substrates across biological barriers to the sites of cellular utilization. Impaired delivery can lead to functional deficiencies even with adequate intake.
