Abstract:


Phytosomes are innovative lipid-viable complexes that combine phospholipids with standardized plant extracts or phytoconstituents to enhance absorption and bioavailability. This research underscores the historical importance of medicinal plants in traditional healing, especially in developing countries, highlighting the global impact of this study. The study explores the complex processes behind phytosome technology, detailing their structure, formation, and biological attributes. Phytosomes offer significant benefits, such as improved bioavailability and absorption rates, which can enhance therapeutic effectiveness. The research also touches on cutting-edge methods for phytosome formulation and evaluation, indicating ongoing advancements in this field. This comprehensive overview serves as a crucial resource, integrating insights into phytosomes and their potential to improve the delivery and efficacy of herbal remedies. Phytosomes represent a modern frontier in herbal medicine, bridging traditional practices with contemporary scientific innovation. By encapsulating plant-derived compounds within phospholipid bilayers, researchers are paving the way for more effective natural therapies. The focus on bioavailability addresses a critical challenge in herbal medicine, where the body's ability to absorb active compounds often limits therapeutic outcomes. The historical context adds depth, emphasizing the enduring relevance of plants in global health practices. Additionally, mentioning novel formulation techniques and evaluation methods suggests a dynamic field rich with possibilities. Phytosomes have the potential to revolutionize herbal medicine, offering a glimpse into a promising approach that could enhance the effectiveness of natural remedies.
