Tag: Passive absorption

Biologically, there is no single, universal term for the absorption of minerals, as the process varies significantly between different organisms and contexts. For example, a nutrient's bioavailability, its ability to be absorbed and used by the body, directly impacts the efficacy of the entire process.

Recent studies suggest that passive absorption of high-dose vitamin B12 is approximately 60% higher when taken on an empty stomach, highlighting the importance of timing. Understanding the two distinct ways the body absorbs this essential nutrient is key to optimizing your supplementation strategy and getting the most out of your B12 intake.
