English term or phrase: "The Body Ready Advanced CoQ10"

Promo for a new product. It's the ubiquinol form of CoQ10 which is more bioavailable than the ubiquinone form, thus the "body-ready" allegation. It has to be short form. All I can think of is "prêt à être assimilé par l'organisme/le corps". Any ideas for anything shorter please?

Dans ce cas-ci, je préfère utiliser "bio-assimilable" puisque c'est un "pitch" marketing de la part de mon client. Merci, Isabelle.

Explanation:
"Appliquer" seems better to me, more practical and shorter.

Sorry then. Sure it would seem weird ^_^
Then what about "prêt-à-prendre"? That sounds a bit like "prêt-à-porter" so implying that the effects are visible.

Might not be my brightest idea, but if that can help ;-)

Then sorry, I can't think of something more efficient than what you had offered in the first place.
Good luck!

Notes to answerer

Asker: I'm sorry, Odin, I forgot to mention that it is a natural health supplement, taken orally.

Asker: If it were THAT easy, Odin! It's in softgel form so it is already "prêt-à-prendre". The manufacturer wants to convey that his product is "body-ready", meaning that usually CoQ10 is available on the market as ubiquinone, and therefore the body has to convert it into ubiquinol in order to be able to assimilate/use it. Here the CoQ10 is already offered as ubiquinol, therefore the body can assimilate/use it right away, thus "body-ready".

Asker: Thank you just the same, Odin!

"the body ready advanced coq10" Biodisponibilité

Explanation:
Tout simplement.
Dans le domaine médical, la biodisponibilité correspond à la capacité du médicament ou dans le cas présent de l'enzyme à libérer son principe actif.

Donc dans la phrase "biodisponible".

Et bien, je dirais que toute dépend de la forme du produit (gellule ou crème).
J'aurais plutôt utilisé bio-assimilable pour une crème (assimilée par la peau).
Mais, si j'ai bien compris, dans le cas présent il s'agit plutôt d'un complément nutritionnel sous forme de gellule.
Mais je peux me tromper !

Notes to answerer

Asker: Séverine, quelle serait alors la différence entre "biodisponible" et "bio-assimilable/bioassimilable" dans ce cas-ci?

Asker: Oui, exactement, c'est sous forme de gélule, Séverine. Merci!
