Due to the complexity of the human body, these molecules must travel through various pathways to reach their final destination. The utilization rate of each molecule depends on the path used, but 100% of the vitamin or mineral is generally not absorbed or stored.

What we eat, when we eat, how we eat, and why we eat are often very personal and individualized. Though, ultimately an individual's choice, many factors beyond our control can influence our daily intake.
