First Pass Effect (First Pass Metabolism):
A process (common with pills, gel caps, tablets, gummies and beverages) in which a vitamin, drug or other active ingredient is absorbed in gastrointestinal tract and transported via the portal vein to the liver; where it is metabolized.
As a result, only a small portion of the active ingredient serves it's purpose in the bloodstream.
**Avoid the possible First Pass Effect delays and reductions that can happen with other supplement delivery methods.
