- Phytosomes: A Short Review

• It enhances the absorption of herbal constituent and hence the bioavailability.
• By enhancing the solubility of bile to herbal constituent, facilitates the liver targeting.
• As the absorption of chief phytoconstituent is improved, its dose requirement is also reduced.
• Phosphatidylcholine used in preparation of phytosomes, besides acting as a carrier also acts as a hepatoprotective, hence giving the synergistic effect.
• Unlike liposome, chemical bonds are formed between phosphatidylcholine molecule and phytoconstituent, so the phytosomes show better stability profile.
