Synergistic Combinations
Discover which vitamins, minerals, herbs, and supplements work better together
What are Synergistic Combinations?
Synergistic combinations occur when two or more nutrients work together to produce an effect greater than the sum of their individual effects. These powerful partnerships can enhance absorption, improve efficacy, and provide complementary benefits.
Vitamin D3 + Vitamin K2
Benefits: Vitamin D3 helps calcium absorption, while K2 ensures calcium is directed to bones rather than soft tissues. Together they optimize bone health and cardiovascular function.
Recommended Ratio: 1000 IU of D3 with 100 mcg of K2 (MK-7)
Turmeric + Black Pepper
Benefits: Piperine in black pepper enhances curcumin (active compound in turmeric) absorption by up to 2000%. This combination maximizes turmeric's anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Recommended Ratio: 500mg turmeric extract with 5mg black pepper extract
CoQ10 + Selenium
Benefits: This powerful combination has been shown to reduce mortality in cardiac patients by up to 30%. CoQ10 and selenium work together to improve heart function and cellular energy production.
Recommended Ratio: 100mg CoQ10 with 100mcg selenium
Vitamin C + Iron
Benefits: Vitamin C significantly enhances non-heme iron absorption, making this combination ideal for those with iron deficiency or vegetarians/vegans who rely on plant-based iron sources.
Recommended Ratio: 100mg vitamin C with iron supplements
Magnesium + Vitamin B6
Benefits: Vitamin B6 enhances magnesium absorption and utilization in the body. This combination is particularly beneficial for stress reduction, muscle relaxation, and sleep quality.
Recommended Ratio: 300mg magnesium with 50mg vitamin B6
Probiotics + Prebiotics
Benefits: Prebiotics provide food for probiotics, enhancing their survival and colonization in the gut. This synbiotic approach optimizes gut health, immune function, and nutrient absorption.
Recommended Ratio: 10-30 billion CFU probiotics with 5-10g prebiotics
