Bioavailability: Why It Matters and How We Maximise It

When it comes to nutrition, there’s one concept that’s often overlooked: Bioavailability.

Bioavailability is all about how well your body can absorb and use the nutrients you consume. You could eat the most nutrient-dense foods or take the most expensive herbs, but if your body can’t access those nutrients, you won’t feel the benefits.

We don’t just want you to take nutrients, we want you to feel them working. Here’s how we make it happen.

Activating Nuts + Seeds

Nuts and seeds are nutritional powerhouses, packed with healthy fats, protein, vitamins, and minerals. But they also contain natural inhibitors, like phytic acid, which can block nutrient absorption.

Soaking and sprouting nuts and seeds breaks down these inhibitors, unlocking the nutrients inside. This simple process makes them easier to digest and ensures your body can access all their goodness.

Our functional foods where we use nuts, seeds and buckwheat are all activated.

Herb Extractions (10:1)

Many herbs need long hours of boiling to release their active compounds, a practice common in traditional herbal medicine. While effective, it’s not always practical for daily life.

That’s why we use concentrated herb extractions, often at a 10:1 ratio. This means ten parts of raw herb are condensed into one part of extract, delivering the full potency of the herb in a form your body can absorb immediately.

For example, if you’ve ever brewed a root like Reishi for hours, you’ll know it takes a lot of time to unlock its benefits. Our extraction process does the same work, but in minutes, without losing efficacy. It’s the shortcut nature intended, but done with care.

Fermented Chlorella

Chlorella is a single-celled algae rich in protein, chlorophyll, and minerals, but its tough cell wall can make it hard for the body to digest.

Fermentation helps break down these walls, making chlorella’s nutrients more accessible. It’s gentler on your digestive system and allows your body to fully absorb the benefits, giving you a smoother and more effective experience.

Cracked Cell Pine Pollen + Reishi Spore Powder

Some herbs, like pine pollen and Reishi spores, are naturally protected by hard cell walls. Without intervention, much of their nutrient content passes straight through your digestive system.

By cracking the cell walls, we unlock their nutrients, making them bioavailable. Your body can finally absorb the full spectrum of amino acids, antioxidants, and phytonutrients these superfoods have to offer.

Gelatinised Maca

Maca is another superfood with incredible benefits, from energy support to hormonal balance. However, its starch content can make it hard to digest.

Through gelatinisation, the starch is removed using gentle heat, making maca easier for your body to digest and its nutrients easier to access. This process ensures you get the benefits without digestive discomfort.

Nano-Sized Pearl Powder

Pearl has long been prized for its mineral content and support for skin, hair, and overall vitality. However, in its natural form, the body struggles to absorb many of these minerals.

By reducing pearl to nano-size, we dramatically increase its bioavailability. This means your body can absorb and use the minerals efficiently, unlocking its full benefits. Nano-sized pearl is a perfect example of how processing with bioavailability in mind transforms a traditional superfood into a truly effective, modern wellness ingredient.

Every choice we make, from activation to extraction to nano-processing, is guided by one goal: ensuring your body can truly use what you are consuming.

When choosing herbs, superfoods, or supplements, it’s not just about what you take, but it’s also about how it’s cultivated, processed, and prepared. That’s what makes the difference between something that sounds good… and something your body can actually benefit from.
