Question:
My Comment to Associate:
The beauty of these supplements is that your body will take what it needs and discard the rest. You’ve started on the recommended supplements at dosages suggested by Dr. R. Strand. It takes 3 months to completely get it into your blood, 6 month into your organs and 9 months into your bones.
Associates Resulting Question:
Why does it take 3 months (as per your note) to get into the blood stream when food stays in the small intestine for up to 4 hours where nutrients…. enter the blood stream?
Response:
USANA Scientist’s:
……….the life of blood cells is approximately 100 days (ie. they turn over completely about every 3 months), and for many organs it is about 6 months and for bone about 9 months. This has nothing to do with digestion or absorption. The tablets and gelcaps disintegrate within about 30 minutes and are available for absorption immediately thereafter, as with any other food other liquid.
