Nutrient Compatibility
Certain nutrients work in synergy in the body, enhancing their beneficial effects and can improve absorption when consumed together. Conversely, some nutrients may hinder each other's benefits or absorption levels when combined.
Our TRINITY formulas leverage the beneficial relationships of compatible nutrients while avoiding non compatible combinations.
TRINITY INTERACTIONS:
Our 3 unique formulas combine vitamins and minerals that synergise effectively while avoiding incompatible combinations.
Check out our graphic illustrating the compatibility of major vitamins and minerals—look for the T's to see where our TRINITY formulas optimise nutrient synergy or avoid clashes.
Compatible Nutrients
- Can lead to greater absorption of one or both of the nutrients
- Can positively affect each-others processes within the body and maximise benefits
Examples: Vitamin A and Zinc, Vitamin C and Iron.
Non-Compatible Nutrients
- Can lead to reduced absorption of one or both of the nutrients
- Can negatively affect each-others processes within the body
Examples: Calcium + Zinc, Vitamin D and Vitamin E.
Neutral Nutrients
- Cause little to no effect on each-other within the body
- These nutrients often operate independent of each-other

Why Do These Interactions Occur?
Certain nutrients such as fat soluble vitamins are absorbed into the bloodstream through the same pathways and so they compete for absorption which leads to reduced efficacy and effectiveness within the body1.
Other nutrients may interact in the digestive tract like vitamins C and B12 leading to chemical degradation, reducing the available amount that can be absorbed2.
Other nutrients may affect the metabolic breakdown of others, leading to imbalanced levels within the body3.
These fundamental principles have been used to create our revolutionary TRINITY formulas.
Maximising Absorption
For optimal absorption, vitamins and minerals shouldn't be taken all together in a single dose formulation.
Several nutrients reduce each other's absorption when consumed together (eg. Zinc with Calcium or Iron).
Balancing all of these interactions can be a complex task but luckily, we’ve done it for you in creating our three TRINITY formulas.
