ABSTRACT:
Phytosomes represent a promising approach for administering herbal medications, enhancing absorption, and creating a distinctive dosage form for plant extracts by utilizing phosphatidylcholine. In comparison to pharmaceuticals derived from synthetic compounds, phytosomal systems possess the potential to heighten therapeutic efficacy while mitigating adverse effects. The production and utilization of phytosomes as delivery systems are central to phytotherapy. Critical evaluation factors like particle dimensions, zeta charge, and encapsulation effectiveness are vital elements to assess. To ensure optimal quality and effectiveness of phytosomal formulations, various parameters must undergo a thorough assessment. Anticipated future applications of phytosomal delivery techniques hold significant market potential, particularly with the growing preference for natural remedies over conventional options.
