Dr. Dan’s Breakthroughs at THREE

In the rapidly evolving field of nutritional health, ensuring that our bodies efficiently absorb the beneficial compounds in our supplements is paramount. This is where the concept of delivering bioactives right to the cell becomes crucial. Our Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Dan Gubler, was recently asked by World of Food Ingredients to write an article on this very topic, shedding light on the science behind cellular absorption and the role of natural ingredients like curcumin and resveratrol.

Bioactives are compounds found in foods and supplements that have an effect on living tissues. Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, and resveratrol, found in the skins of grapes, are two well-known bioactives. Both have been extensively studied for their potential health benefits, which include supporting a healthy inflammatory response, antioxidant properties, and overall wellness.

However, the effectiveness of these bioactives largely depends on their bioavailability – that is, the extent and rate at which they are absorbed into the bloodstream and utilized by the body. Simply consuming these compounds is not enough; they need to be delivered efficiently to the cells where they can exert their beneficial effects.

Dr. Dan is renowned for his ability to break down complex scientific concepts into easy-to-understand explanations. In his recent article for World of Food Ingredients, Dr. Dan delves into the science of phytochemistry and the technologies used to enhance the bioavailability of bioactives.

At THREE International, Dr. Dan's work is not just about improving supplements; it's about redefining the standards of nutritional health. By focusing on the cellular absorption of bioactives, Dr. Dan and the Scientific Advisory Board are ensuring that the holistic ingredients used in our products are delivered efficiently to the body. This means that our customers can reap the maximum health benefits from each supplement they take.

Curcumin and resveratrol are prime examples of bioactives that have significant health potential but face challenges in terms of bioavailability.

Curcumin: Known for its support of a healthy inflammatory response and antioxidant properties, curcumin has a low natural bioavailability. This means that when consumed in its natural form, only a small fraction reaches the bloodstream. Advanced delivery systems, such as those used by THREE International, enhance its absorption, allowing the body to benefit fully from its properties.

Resveratrol: This powerful antioxidant supports cardiovascular health and longevity. Like curcumin, resveratrol also has low bioavailability. By employing cellular absorption technologies, THREE ensures that resveratrol is more effectively absorbed and utilized by the body.

At THREE, we utilize a wide range of cutting-edge cellular absorption technologies, 11 in total, to maximize the bioavailability of our products. These technologies help deliver molecules directly to the cells, enhancing their effectiveness. Some of the key technologies we use include:

- Liposomal Delivery Systems: This technology encapsulates bioactives in liposomes (tiny fat-like particles), which enhance their absorption and protect them from degradation as they pass through the digestive system.

- Micronization: By reducing the particle size of bioactives to the micron scale, this technology increases the surface area for absorption, improving the solubility and bioavailability of these compounds.

- Enzyme Delivery Technology: This approach utilizes specific enzymes to facilitate the absorption of bioactives, ensuring that they are effectively broken down and utilized by the body.

- Yeast Glycoprotein Matrix (GPM) Natural Vitamins and Minerals: This innovative technology incorporates vitamins and minerals into a natural yeast matrix, enhancing their bioavailability and making them more readily absorbed by the body.

These advanced delivery systems help ensure that THREE supplements are on the cutting edge of nutrient delivery, providing the maximum wellness benefits from the best ingredients.

Dr. Dan's work at THREE goes beyond formulating supplements; it's about pioneering a new standard in the supplement industry. His commitment to scientific excellence and his passion for natural health options drive the innovation behind our products.

By focusing on cellular absorption and the use of advanced delivery technologies, Dr. Dan is helping to ensure that every supplement we create is as effective as possible. His vision is to empower individuals with the tools they need to live healthier, more vibrant lives.

In an era where wellness is becoming increasingly prioritized, understanding the science behind supplement absorption is crucial. Site-directed delivery will be a game changer for this industry and in promoting human health in ways not seen before. Dr. Dan's expertise and dedication to improving bioavailability through advanced technologies are revolutionizing the way we think about and consume supplements.
