Glossary: Bioavailability
Bioavailability refers to how much of a compound actually reaches systemic circulation and becomes available for the body (or target tissue) to use. It’s one of the most important concepts in pharmacology, drug research, and compound formulation. Think of it like this:If you administer 100 mg of a substance, but only 40 mg makes it …
