Carlson Laboratories - Time-Release Vitamins

Timed-release vitamins provide a gradual release of the vitamins over an extended period of time to increase and prolong vitamin absorption.

WATER-SOLUBLE VITAMINS such as Vitamin C and the B-Vitamins should be made timed-release because they are not stored by the body, so they need to be replenished frequently to maintain adequate levels.
FAT-SOLUBLE VITAMINS such as Vitamins A, D, and E are stored by the body for extended periods of time; therefore, a single daily dose should be adequate.

A greater percentage of water-soluble vitamins can be absorbed by the body when taken in smaller doses. Water-soluble vitamins in a timed-release preparation are continuously supplied in small amounts for better absorption.

Human Bioavailability studies have proven that the timed-release Matrix method used for all Carlson timed-release tablets is effective. The Independent Laboratory Report concluded that the tablets tested "showed an excellent sustained release effect."

Test results demonstrated that blood levels of Vitamin C rose within two hours and remained relatively constant for the duration of the ten hour test. Noteworthy is that the test did not measure the disintegration of the tablets in test tubes; it measured the Vitamin C levels in the blood of the volunteers. This human study conclusively proves that the Carlson method of preparing timed-release vitamins is effective in prolonging their absorption over long periods of time.

Each batch of Carlson Timed-Release products is tested after manufacture to assure that the potency and timed-release pattern meet our rigid specifications. These tests, run in accordance with government procedures, involve simulated gastro-intestinal conditions.
