Overcoming Barriers in Nutrient Absorption: The Microbead Technology Breakthrough*

Sometimes, supplements really are just hard to swallow—both metaphorically and literally. Unfortunately, it's the industry's standard approach. As a brand, you don't really have that many options when you want your nootropics to include sufficient amounts of almost… everything.

It's a needed compromise... or is it?

With standard nutrient delivery methods, sometimes you have to settle with larger capsules or tablets to accommodate all the ingredients you want inside.

The real problem is obvious when you look over some statistics: about 40% of people can't swallow large capsules or tablets.¹ It’s as simple as that. And it’s one of the reasons so many may prefer alternative forms of supplementation due to personal difficulties with swallowing.

Plus, most traditional delivery forms (capsules, tablets, powder, and even liquid) may have some downsides.

For example, have you ever taken a tablet on an empty stomach and instantly felt unwell? There might be a reason for that—poor nutrient absorption. The body's absorption of nutrients can vary based on several factors, including the delivery form of your favorite nootropic.*

So, is there no solution to this? Well, actually, we believe there is: microbeads. It's what we use. It’s how we, at HCF®, tackle this issue. We use complex encapsulation technology to create microbeads—tiny spheres that encapsulate nutrients, allowing for more efficient nutrient release.*

Why microbeads can be a game-changer.*

We all know how important nutrient absorption actually is. Because what's the point of taking a nootropic if your brain can't use the nutrients efficiently? It defies the whole purpose of taking one, right?

But getting all the right nutrients in the right doses can be challenging to begin with. Add capsule or tablet limitations to the equation, and things tend to get much more complicated.

So here’s our approach: the tiny nutrient ‘power plants’ that make up our advanced nootropics. Designed with a focus on absorption.*

The amount of time it takes for standard tablets or capsules to be absorbed into your bloodstream can range from 15 minutes to several hours, depending on the type.² On the other hand, microbeads may offer a steadier, more reliable absorption rate.*^3,4

That's why HCF® uses time-release microbeads (where best applied) to support the delivery of nutrients directly to your bloodstream throughout the day, complementing the body's natural nutrient intake rhythm.*

Additionally, by separating nutrients into individual microbeads, we help overcome the barriers to nutrient absorption and potentially improve the absorption rate compared to more standard delivery methods.*⁵

It's not just about getting nutrients into the bloodstream; it's about keeping them there.*

Traditional nootropics in capsule, tablet, or powder form may cause rapid spikes in blood nutrient levels, which the body then quickly eliminates.*⁶

Microbeads, however, may help maintain optimal blood nutrient levels over time. This means better nutrient distribution and tissue saturation.*
