Barton Scott is a
chemical engineer and nutritionist. In 2025, he founded Upgraded
Formulas, a company offering a line of supplements “that are 100%
bioavailable and are absorbed better by the body than any other
brand on the market today.”
Our bodies, Barton
claims, only “absorb about 25% or less” of most supplements on the
market.
This fact, he says, is
less telling of what is and isn’t in most of today’s supplements
and more of a reflection of how inefficient our bodies are at
absorbing the nutrients in them.
In fact, this
inefficiency is only going to get worse for many as certain trends
of modern living continue to wreak havoc on their gut health. From
bad diets to excess drinking to living stressful lives, a variety
of factors that too many people today are familiar with contribute
to gut dysfunction.
“Because of that,”
continues Barton, “I knew that trying to heal the gut was not going
to be enough.”
Listen in as Barton reflects on the personal experiences which
would lead to the founding of Upgraded Formulas. He also shares
some hard-to-swallow pills regarding mineral deficiency and what we
all need to focus on to fill common nutrient gaps.
