Food supplements are becoming an increasingly important part of our lives. Most of them are natural and organic, and help us to prevent and combat various everyday ailments. Stress, colds, digestive problems, fatigue… There are many symptoms and illnesses that these products can help to relieve and cure effectively and sustainably. They are usually presented in the form of elixirs, capsules or gummies. However, two specialists have come up with a brilliant idea to create food supplements that can be taken in spray form! In this article, discover the benefits of dietary supplements in spray form for everyone.
Innovative, effective food supplements
The Les Bienfaits brand was the brainchild of two food supplement enthusiasts: Valentin Rolhion and Julien Rebaud. Already immersed in the health and well-being sector, they had the crazy idea of creating food supplements to be taken as a spray. The two friends decided to leave the company where they had worked to embark on this entrepreneurial adventure. Their objective was very simple: to develop a product that could be taken sublingually (under the tongue).
After years of research and hard work, their gamble paid off. In fact, as well as being scientifically convincing, the concept of food supplements in spray form appealed to the general public. The result was the Les Bienfaits range – and it works!
The secret? The product is sprayed under the tongue. As the sublingual venous network is directly linked to the circulatory system, it allows rapid assimilation of the ingredients and their active ingredients. What’s more, very few elements are lost during the spraying process. This offers better results than capsules, elixirs and gummies. In addition to all this, the format of this food supplement is very practical. As the bottle is small, you can slip it into your travel bag or even your pocket, and take it with you wherever you go. And last but not least, this product tastes delicious!
Are dietary supplements in spray form effective?
The sublingual administration of food supplements, as practised with the sprays in the Les Bienfaits range, is based on the principle of direct absorption of the active ingredients by the tissue under the tongue. This area, rich in blood capillaries, allows the substances to pass rapidly into the bloodstream, without undergoing the degradation mechanisms present in the gastrointestinal tract.
There are many advantages to this method. Firstly, sublingual absorption avoids the hepatic first-pass phenomenon, where active substances are metabolised in the liver before reaching the systemic circulation. As a result, a greater proportion of the active ingredient is available to the body, improving the bioavailability of the nutrients or drugs administered. In addition, the effect of the ingredients can be felt more quickly, which is particularly beneficial for products designed to relieve acute symptoms such as stress or fatigue.
Compared with capsules or gummies, sprays therefore offer a method of administration that is not only more effective in terms of absorption, but also quicker in terms of action. This increased efficacy can mean a reduction in the dose needed to achieve the desired effects, potentially reducing the risks of overdose or side effects associated with higher doses.
Analysis of nutrient absorption efficiency via the sublingual venous network
The sublingual venous network plays a key role in the efficacy of spray administration. The sublingual veins, which are directly connected to the circulatory system, allow the active ingredients to be rapidly and widely distributed throughout the body. This feature is essential for supplements such as Les Bienfaits Immunité or Les Bienfaits Stress, where a rapid response can significantly influence the effectiveness of the treatment of immediate symptoms.
Studies show that absorption rates via the sublingual venous network can significantly surpass those observed with traditional oral forms. For example, compounds such as vitamins B and D, often found in dietary supplements, benefit from this route of administration by reaching the plasma concentrations required to exert their biological effects more quickly.
Comparison with other products on the market
To highlight the benefits of the sprays in the Les Bienfaits range, it is useful to compare them with other forms of food supplements available on the market. This section presents a comparative table based on recent studies, analysing the effectiveness of sprays compared with capsules, elixirs and gummies.
Comparative table of the effectiveness of sprays compared with other forms of supplements
| Supplement form | Bioavailability | Speed of absorption | Practicality | Taste |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sprays | Very high | Immediate | Very high | Pleasant |
| Capsules | Medium | Slow | Medium | Neutral |
| Elixirs | High | Fast | Low | Variable |
| Gummies | Low | Medium | High | Very Good |
- Bioavailability: Sprays offer superior bioavailability due to direct absorption into the circulatory system via the sublingual venous network, avoiding losses associated with digestion and first-pass liver function.
- Speed of absorption: Absorption of sprays is almost immediate, which is crucial for supplements designed to quickly relieve symptoms such as stress or fatigue. In comparison, capsules take longer to dissolve and release their active ingredients.
- Practicality: The format of sprays is particularly practical because they can be administered easily and discreetly, without the need for water, unlike capsules and elixirs. This makes them ideal for use on the move.
- Taste: Sprays can be formulated with natural aromas to make them pleasant to take. Gummies are also popular for their taste, but their low bioavailability may mean you need to take larger doses to achieve the same effects.
Does the spray format work more quickly than a capsule?
The table above clearly shows the advantages of sprays over other forms of supplements in terms of bioavailability and speed of absorption. These factors are essential to ensure that the body quickly receives the nutrients it needs in the optimum quantities. In addition, the convenient format and pleasant taste of sprays enhance the user experience and can encourage regular adherence to the supplement regime.
These features make sprays a superior option for those seeking effective and convenient solutions to manage their daily health. The studies cited in this analysis demonstrate that spray formulations are not only innovative but also based on sound scientific principles, giving them a prime position in the competitive dietary supplements market.
