• Gummies are chewed, which initiates the breakdown process in the mouth. This allows the supplement to mix with saliva and begin dissolving before it even reaches the stomach, potentially allowing for some buccal (mouth lining) absorption and improving overall bioavailability.
• Studies have shown that certain nutrients, such as vitamin D, have significantly higher bioavailability when delivered in gummy form compared to tablets. This means that gummies may lead to higher blood levels of the nutrient after ingestion.
• The dissolution process for gummies continues in the stomach and small intestine, where most nutrient absorption occurs. The easier breakdown and faster dissolution can enhance the release of active ingredients for absorption by the intestinal tract.
• The formulation of gummies (often with syrup, pectin, or gelatin) may further aid in the release and solubilization of lipophilic (fat-soluble) nutrients, such as vitamin D, making them more accessible for intestinal absorption.
