NATURALLY DERIVED INGREDIENTS
When an ingredient may be found in nature, but doesn't occur in a concentration that is high enough for formulations, these ingredients are used. These ingredients can often be derived from natural sources through a series of chemical processes, which is the process used by Plexus Worldwide to obtain such ingredients.

Sometimes, a sufficiently concentrated source of an ingredient cannot be found in nature, or derived from natural sources. In these instances, highly bioavailable ingredients are used to formulate biochemical building blocks.
