Good quality of supplements is associated with their ability to be dissolved and absorbed.

About Bioavailability
Super Health Sprays

- All solutions in sprays have been formulated with great care therefor there are no side effects.
- No artificial flavours or colours added to their solutions.
- No sugar, starch, wheat, soy, gluten, eggs, salt, or dairy.
- We use Xylitol (which is known for cavity protection and it is diabetic-safe).
- The flavors are natural mints or fruits.
- All our vitamin sprays are suitable for vegetarians.
High Bioavailability
Nutrients in Super Health sprays can be absorbed in both sublingual (placed under the tongue) and buccal (placed inside the cheek) areas through mucous membrane directly into the bloodstream. While being a fine mist spray, each Super Health spray is also an emulsion, therefore vitamins and other ingredients are fully mixed with the water base. This again helps the absorption and bioavailability within the body.
Precision of Dosage
Each Super Health Spray gives a precise dose of nutrients with every pump. Thus, a spray user receives the correct dose each time. No more trouble with counting the number of spoonfuls or drops of liquid/powder.
Safety
Our sprays are save and free from any side effects. Unlike tables, the sprays contain no fillers, therefore there is no allergic or nauseous reaction. In addition, the metal container of the sprays protects their ingredients from oxidation ( light and air) that allows to keep their solution potent. This also guarantees a much longer shelf life.
Facts about Buccal Mucosa
- Mucosa of the buccal cavity was found to be the most convenient and easily accessible site for the delivery of therapeutic agents for both local and systemic delivery.
- The mucosa has a rich blood supply and it is relatively permeable.
- Blood vessels drain directly into the jugular vein; due to its particular features, it has been of increasing interest to researchers as an alternative site of drug administration.
- Direct access to the systemic circulation through the internal jugular vein bypasses nutrients from the hepatic first pass metabolism leading to high bioavailability.
- The oral cavity is an attractive site for nutrients delivery due to ease of administration and avoidance of possible drug degradation in gastrointestinal tract and first-pass metabolism.
- Studies by Dr Squier and co-workers revealed that the permeability of water through the buccal mucosa was approximately 10 times higher, whilst in floor of the mouth the permeability was approximately 20 times higher than skin.

Buccal and Sublingual Absorption
Oral transmucosal absorption is an interesting and simple concept with a massive opportunity for the health industry. Absorption through buccal and sublingual routes has been intensively examined therefore in the next few years there will be more sublingual drug and food supplements offered. Because this method allows to bypass hepatic first pass metabolism, degradation of drug within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract can be avoided.
Case Study: Insulin
Pharmacokinetic studies of buccal insulin spray in patients with Type I diabetes revealed that insulin, delivered through a novel insulin buccal spray, easily passed through the buccal mucosa. It proved that administration of insulin in spray form can be an effective therapeutic alternative to current medication systems for treating diabetes (references 1- 2).
Case Study: Nitroglycerin
Nitroglycerin is perhaps the best-known example. In fact, the only way that nitroglycerin is administered is by “oral absorption.” (The first recognition of the ability of a substance to cross the oral mucosa was reported by Braunton in 1877). On top, there are thousands of published research papers on oral absorption (both buccal and sublingual) of vitamins, minerals and drugs.
