How Riize supplement strips offer superior bioavailability.

It's all about bioavailability

Interest and awareness of improving and maintaining optimal, overall general health continues to grow. Along with good diet and exercise habits, there is also increased awareness of how supplements can add to a healthy lifestyle. There has never been a greater number of options to choose from when it comes to supplements. So, how do you know which ones will provide the benefits you're looking for? What makes a supplement effective? 

It comes down to bioavailability, a term that is becoming more frequently used and familiar when it comes to health and nutrition. Bioavailability is related to the process of absorption, which is the process whereby things taken in for digestion are absorbed by the blood. A substance, such as a supplement, can only be effective if it can be absorbed and used by the body. The bioavailability of a supplement is that proportion or percentage that is absorbed by the blood and made available for its intended benefit. The true measure of a supplement's effectiveness is whether it reaches the bloodstream in sufficient quantity to have the intended effect. Without good bioavailability, even high strength supplements may deliver minimal results. In other words, it's not enough to know how much of a nutrient is present in a supplement; the issue is how much of it is bioavailable. 

The absorption process

The absorption process is, in essence, how the system digests and moves substances like supplements through and between various cells and membranes and into the bloodstream where they are assimilated and used for tissue activity. There are four basic biological mechanisms that help achieve absorption:

- Simple diffusion. Occurs when the dissolved substance moves from high to low concentration through cell membrane. This is typically the case with things like glucose and amino acids. 

- Active transport. The movement from low to high concentration, with the use of cellular energy. Electrolytes, like sodium ions, are absorbed by active transport into the blood. 

- Facilitated transport. The dissolved substances (solutes) move across membranes with the help of specific carrier proteins. Some digested amino acids and glucose are absorbed using this mechanism.  

- Passive transport. Solutes move across cell membranes without requiring energy. Simple food substances are absorbed into the blood this way after digestion.  

In order for supplements to be most effective, they need to be formulated based on an understanding of the science behind the absorption process. Having established expertise in compound formulas, Riize supplement strips have been created to work in a complimentary way to increase the absorption process.

What affects supplement bioavailability?
Several factors can come into play that will affect the bioavailability of a supplement. Some related to the supplement itself and some related to individual health and lifestyle.  

1. Diet - food and timing
Bioavailability can be affected by what foods are consumed and when, along with when a supplement is taken. There is a great deal of information and general advice related to these things. For example, with or without food, fat or non-fat foods, morning or night, etc. Ultimately, the most important thing is consistency. Find out what works for you, personally, and go with that.  

This is less of a concern with Riize supplement strips. Being in an oral dissolving film (ODF) form, they bypass the normal digestive process and go directly to the system. In addition, they are formulated for very specific benefits, such as sleep or energy, and are best taken whenever that benefit is needed.

2. Individual variables
Individual variables like age, health status, genetics, and metabolism can affect how effectively the absorption process works for each person. Things like stomach acidity, intestinal and digestive health can also have an effect. Once again, the fact that Riize ODF supplement strips bypass the normal digestive system means that some of these individual variables have less of an impact on the effectiveness of the supplements.  

3. Other supplements
With traditional supplements, in traditional forms, supplement interaction can negatively affect bioavailability. Some supplements compete with each other or cancel each other out. This is not a factor with Riize supplement strips, as their formulas are developed so that the active ingredients all complement and support each other.  

4. Delivery form
The way in which a supplement is taken in or consumed is referred to as its delivery form. Traditional supplement forms typically include capsules, tablets, liquids, powders, and also gummies and lozenges. The form determines to what degree and how efficiently the nutrients are released and become available. Riize supplement strips have the distinct advantage of delivery through oral dissolving films. This lets the nutrients bypass the degenerative effects of first-pass metabolism, which limits the bioavailability of the other delivery forms.  

Superior bioavailability of Riize supplement strips
The format used for Riize supplement strips was developed in creating advanced compound pharmacological formulas for prescription products, namely for erectile dysfunction, weight management and sexual self-care. With that advantage, plus the latest in ODF manufacturing technology, Riize has developed some of the most advanced supplements, designed for specific needs, delivering benefits quickly.  

Riize supplement strips use only high-quality, vegan ingredients, along with natural flavors and zero sugar. The formulas are precisely designed so that the ingredients work synergistically for the targeted benefit. Whether it's sleep, energy or an extra boost of vitality, Riize supplement strips are 5X faster, 10X more efficient and 100% clean. They are a perfect lifestyle supplement solution, superior in bioavailability and effectiveness.
