Understanding Food Pairing and Bioavailability
It’s not just what you eat—it’s about nutrient availability. Hence the term “bio” “availability.” Bioavailability measures the proportion of a nutrient absorbed and available for use by the body [1] . Identifying partner nutrient pairings can help you make informed foods choices.
Researchers often study how nutrients interact. For example, fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) are commonly paired with dietary fats such as monounsaturated or omega-3 fatty acids [2].
Omega-3 fatty acids have also been examined in combination with plant-based compounds such as flavonoids [6]. Tip-Top Food™ simplifies finding foods with these specific healthy fats, including omega-3s.
This approach supports more informed, proactive food-pairings in your daily nutrition planning.
Nutrient Clarity Features
Visual Cues: Identify foods higher or lower in specific nutrient relative to FDA Daily Values (DV).
Intuitive Portions: Interpret serving sizes like 24 nuts or ½ cup instantly with a design built for clarity.
Use actual measurements: Reference exact measurements such as mg for added accuracy.
Macronutrients: Energy, Structure, and Absorption in Tip-Top Food™
Macronutrients do more than provide calories; they serve as structural building blocks and support the intake of fat-soluble vitamins [3] .
Tip-Top Food™ measures these vital components, including protein (and its constituent amino acids), fats (including sterols and omega fatty acids), carbohydrates (including starch, fiber, and sugar) and water.
Micronutrients: Supporting Body Functions
While macros provide energy, micronutrients—vitamins and minerals – are components of a balanced diet [4] . As a proactive nutrition app, Tip-Top Food™ measures 67 essential nutrients to help you explore a wider variety of nutrient sources.
Phytonutrients: Carotenoids and Flavonoids
While the core app measures 67 essential nutrients, Tip-Top Food™ allows you to go deeper into the “real food” matrix. Explore carotenoids and 30 specialized flavonoids—natural compounds studied for their roles in biological synergy and long-term wellness [5].
