Bioavailability isn't one of the benchmarks they test for. Bioavailability is a very complex topic that makes it very hard to simply state, "this supplement is highly bioavailable", especially considering that multivitamins combine a long list of vitamins together that can all perform differently in one's body depending on a long list of variables.

If you search PubMed, you'll find there are a lot of papers regarding research being conducted on the bioavailability of various supplements in vary specific scenarios with varying conclusions... or no good conclusion at all. Hence, it's my opinion that it's in one's best interest to improve one's own diet by eating whole foods (more organic vegetables, more healthy fats, etc.) and only go down the supplement rabbit hole if one finds an actual deficiency in one's diet that is actually causing a problem.
