Abstract:
1. A method for increasing and enhancing absorption of multiple micronutrients introduced into or ingested by a subject comprising: selecting a plurality of micronutrients that provide a substantially complete micronutrient regimen on a periodic basis for a particular subject; identifying absorption competition among two or more micronutrients within the multiple micronutrient regimen; identifying absorption synergies among two or more micronutrients within the multiple micronutrient regimen; selectively separating the absorption competition micronutrients; selectively pairing the absorption synergy micronutrients; creating at least a first micronutrient formulation and at least a second micronutrient formulation wherein: (a) vitamins B6, B9 (folic acid) are administered in the first micronutrient formulation and B6 and B12 are administered in the second micronutrient formulation once daily; (b) vitamins A, D, and K are administered daily, and vitamin A is not administered with vitamin D; (c) vitamin C and quercetin are co-administered, at least every twelve hours; (d) vitamin A and zinc are administered together; (e) vitamin D and calcium are administered together; and (f) if administered at all, iron is administered separately from the first and second micronutrient formulation.
