Diet is always the best source of nutrition, the reality is that most of us don’t get enough essential vitamins and minerals. Supplements are designed to bridge this gap and support the body in areas where it might be lacking. However not all supplements are built the same.

Most people assume that a vitamin is just a vitamin that as long as you’re taking something, you’re getting the benefits. But that’s far from the truth. The quality, form, and bioavailability of nutrients make all the difference between a supplement that actually improves your health and one that simply passes through your system with little effect.

Many companies flood the market with cheap, synthetic supplements that provide minimal benefits. Meanwhile, research in genetics and epigenetics has revealed that the way our bodies absorb and utilise nutrients varies from person to person. Let’s start by seeing some of the problems with most supplements and how to know a good supplement.

The Problem with Most Supplements

1. Cheap Ingredients, Low Absorption

Some supplements contain cheap, synthetic versions of vitamins and minerals that your body struggles to absorb. For example, magnesium oxide is commonly found in supplements because it’s inexpensive, but it isn’t well absorbed, meaning most of it just passes through your system. In contrast, magnesium glycinate is much easier for the body to use, making a real difference in muscle function, relaxation, and overall health.

2. Missing Co-Factors

Just because a supplement contains a vitamin doesn’t mean your body will use it effectively. Many nutrients need co-factors, other vitamins and minerals that help them work. For example, taking Vitamin D alone isn’t enough; your body also needs K2 and magnesium to properly absorb and use it. Without these supporting nutrients, even high doses of Vitamin D might not provide the benefits you expect.

3. Generic Formulas Don’t Work for Everyone

Everyone’s body is different, meaning what works for one person may not work for another. Your genetics, diet, and lifestyle all influence how well you absorb and process nutrients. Some people struggle to convert plant-based Omega-3 into a form their body can actually use. Others may need extra B12 for energy and metabolism support. The best supplements consider these differences, offering solutions that work for real people instead of taking a generic, mass-market approach.

Most supplements are designed with a one-size-fits-all approach, assuming that everyone has the same nutritional needs. However, genetic research has shown that deficiencies and absorption rates vary between individuals. Some people need higher doses of specific nutrients due to their genetic makeup, while others may be at risk of overloading on certain compounds.

What Makes a High-Quality Supplement?

A high-quality supplement goes beyond just listing nutrients on a label, it ensures your body can absorb and use them effectively. The best supplements focus on using natural, bioavailable ingredients that work in harmony with your body.

Many supplements rely on cheap, synthetic versions of vitamins and minerals that your body struggles to process. This means you could be taking them daily without reaping the full benefits. For example, some forms of magnesium pass through your system without being absorbed, while others are easily utilised by your cells. The same applies to B vitamins and Omega-3s, choosing the right form makes a difference in how well your body responds.

Beyond individual ingredients, supplements need to be properly formulated with supporting nutrients. Without these, your body may not fully absorb or utilise the supplement, leading to wasted potential and minimal results.

What also sets a high-quality supplement apart is its ability to recognise that everyone’s body is different. Factors such as genetics, diet, and lifestyle influence how well we absorb and process nutrients. That’s why supplements designed with precision, ones that account for individual needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach are far more effective.
