When 'More' Stops Working
- The supplement aisle runs on a single promise — that bigger numbers are better — but past a point, "more" stops translating into more that your body actually keeps
- The neon-yellow urine after a big multivitamin is mostly riboflavin passing straight through; it's a daily receipt for the part you paid for and didn't absorb
- Absorption is dose-dependent: the fraction your body takes up tends to fall as the dose climbs, so doubling the dose doesn't double what reaches your cells
- With some nutrients the body actively limits how much it admits at once, so how and when you take a supplement can matter as much as the amount
- The form a nutrient comes in can change how much you absorb, which is why the delivery method often matters more than how much you take
