How Nature Technology Works

The majority of vitamins and drugs are taken orally. The dosage intervals of such pills often are inconvenient and even overwhelming. When you have to take a six to eight pills every day to relieve pain like a woman during her menstrual cycle, it can prove truly challenging. In addition, many drugs and vitamins are partly destroyed or neutralized in the stomach, intestine or liver before ever reaching the bloodstream. As a direct result, a higher dose is needed to ensure the result needed, increasing the risk of side effects.

Doctors around the world are calling topical patches “the delivery system of the future” because It has been discovered that a high absorption rate of many supplements can be achieved when delivered through the skin. The reason for this is that when supplements are delivered topically, they may absorb directly into the blood stream, initially bypassing the liver, stomach and intestine. The result can mean as much as 95% of the supplement getting to the cells where they are needed.*

Conversely, studies have shown when some substances are taken orally, as little as 5% makes it to the cells where they are needed. This is because of the stomach, liver and digestive system excreting and discarding much of the substances taken orally.
