- Healthycell — Healthycell is based on the simple idea that nutrients need to be absorbed into the bloodstream and then into cells where they work to improve health. But most supplements use the same pill-form delivery technologies that were around in the 1930's, back when we were using rotary phones! Our nutrient delivery technologies have not kept pacewith the innovation of other industries. Decades of lab work show that most pills (and even powders) have low absorption. These older delivery systems compress dehydrated, large, dense, insoluble particles that are 10x to 100x too big for absorption through the small intestine where the human body absorbs most nutrients. That's why we forced the evolution of nutrition supplements with MICROGEL™.
