Taking supplements but not feeling a difference? Dr. Gus explains why absorption may be the missing piece, including a simple test that shows some tablets can sit for a full day without breaking down. Find out why your gut has only a limited window to take in nutrients, and why a one-ounce liquid shot can make it easier to give your body what it needs to support steady energy all day.

When it comes to using nutrients, one of the things we as physicians have to account for, in order for our patients to heal and feel better, is whether a nutrient can reach where it needs to be so it can do what it needs to do.

Say you’re taking a supplement in tablet form that doesn’t even break down. We’ll do this on a live video down the road. You could take a multivitamin that’s used by many thousands of people and put it in a small glass of warm water with a little vinegar to mimic the stomach. What should break down in literally minutes could sit there for 24 hours and not break down.

When we consider that the gut has a limited window to absorb these nutrients, roughly 14 hours before they get washed out, we can easily come to the conclusion that absorption matters.

When you have something in a liquid form that you can keep living and high quality, and you can take it in a little one-ounce shot glass in the morning to provide the nutrients for the day and sustain your energy, then we’re onto something. It simplifies our lives, and it becomes the foundation and the building block for maintaining our health down the road.
