The
Phytosome® process is a patented technology (U.S. Patent
#4,764,508) that combines herbal extracts and soybean phospholipids
(lecithin). Phytosome®s are created when the standardized
extract and active ingredients of an herb are bound to the
phospholipids on a molecular level. |
The
newly created Phytosome® structures contain the active
ingredients of the herb surrounded by the phospholipids.The
phospolipid molecular structure includes a water-soluble head
and two fat-soluble tails. Because of this dual solubility,
the phospholipid acts as an effective emulsifier.
An emulsifier is a material that can combine
two liquids that normally will not mix well together. By combining
the emulsifying action of the phospholipids with the standardized
botanical extracts, the Phytosome® form provides dramatically
enhanced bioavailability and delivers faster and improved
absorption in the intestinal tract. And, because not all botanical
properties are as bioavailable as others, joining them to
phospholipids produces an effective medium for increased absorption
of the active constituents of the herb.

Without
the Phytosome® process, a reduced amount of the botanical
extract and its active ingredients, which are usually non-lipophyllic,
permeate the intestinal lumen. By creating the Phytosome®
complex of herbal extract and soybean phospholipids (lecithin),
the result is a new dosage structure that is more rapidly
absorbed and more efficiently used by the body. Research has
shown that an herbal Phytosome® is more biologically active,
therefore, it provides all the benefits of botanticals at
reduced dosage. This means your body utilizes and absorbs
more of the beneficial properties of herbs so you can take
less and still achieve the herbs desired results. |
