Stop flushing nutrients (and money) down the toilet Are you wasting your money on supplements that are going straight through your system? Learn in our latest blog why some vitamins might be "pooped out" and how to improve absorption for better health and wellness. | | While the idea of pooping out expensive supplements might seem strange, it's a common occurrence. It's important to learn why some vitamins might end up leaving your body undigested, and what you can do to ensure you're getting the most out of your supplements. Part 1: Digestion π After you chew and swallow, your stomach breaks down nutrients so your intestines can absorb them. If a vitamin particle is too big or hasn't been properly broken down, it may not be readily absorbed and could end up traveling all the way through your digestive system, eventually exiting your body in your stool. This is where the concept of "pooping out" vitamins comes in. Part 2: Bioavailability π± Not all vitamins are created equal, especially when it comes to absorption. Large, compact tablets or poorly formulated supplements might be difficult for your body to break down effectively, leading to them passing through undigested. Bioavailability is the key term here. It refers to the amount of a nutrient that your body can absorb and utilize. Supplements with low bioavailability simply mean your body struggles to take advantage of the vitamins they contain. Part 3: How do you know? π How do you know if you're "excreting" vitamins in your stool? You might see bright colors or even remnants of the pill itself. However, other less obvious signs include vitamin deficiencies, fatigue, or digestive issues. If you notice any of these symptoms, consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian. They can help determine if you're experiencing malabsorption and recommend appropriate interventions. When your body doesn't fully absorb vitamins, it can lead to deficiencies that negatively impact various bodily functions. And, undigested vitamins are essentially wasted, as they are not utilized by your body. Part 4: What gets excreted in pee vs. poop? π½ It's important to know what gets excreted in your urine versus what gets eliminated in your stool. Water-soluble vitamins are excreted in urine; once absorbed and transported in the bloodstream, water-soluble vitamins travel to the kidneys.... continue reading on the blog The main takeaway π In order to make the most of the nutrients you consume - and your money - make sure you're choosing highly absorbable supplements.
