What Are Enteric-Coated Vitamins?

Why This Sub-Category of Delayed-Release Tablets Is Critical to Absorption and Bioavailability

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Sept. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Vitamins require more than dosage to be effective. The total quantity of a particular nutrient present in a tablet or capsule is insignificant if the digestive system cannot absorb it. Simply taking more of a vitamin is not a safe or effective option, either. SYNEVIT^® uses enteric coatings to deliver timed precision for the release of its expertly dosed supplements.

"You don't just want more with each vitamin," said company CEO George Cvetkovski. "You want the right amount of concentration. I remember during the pandemic, people were taking 50 grams of zinc per day. You only need 15 grams. That's the recommended daily allowance. But whether it's 15 or 50, it won't do you much good if your body can't absorb it properly. That's why we use timed release with enteric coatings."

Enteric-coated tablets are designed to rely on either a time-based or enzyme-triggered mechanism. In either case, the goal is to get the vitamin through the stomach without being compromised. Once in the intestines, the coating dissolves, releasing the components for maximum absorption.

Cvetkovski's team (which includes on-staff pharmacists and doctors to help with formulations and dosage) is careful to clarify that, while this is a form of delayed release, not all delayed-release vitamins have enteric coatings. There are modified release options that release their components at a steady rate. In contrast, enteric coatings are more location-dependent, meaning they are timed or delayed to release at a specific point in the digestive system.

This feature is a major reason SYNEVIT^®'s products have received such high praise over the years. Products like its vitamin B complex NEUROCOMPLEX-B^® and its chelated iron supplement FERROFECT lean on the power of enteric coating slow-release tablets to ensure their optimized nutrients are presented to the body at just the right time.

The result is better uptake, more efficient use of resources, and increased overall health.
