ABSTRACT:
A significant portion of active compounds in herbal medicines shows strong bioactivity in vitro, but much lower effectiveness in vivo due to their poor lipid solubility and unsuitable molecular size. These factors lead to limited absorption and low bioavailability of the active ingredients from herbal extracts. Herbosome technology helps overcome this challenge by improving the bioavailability of herbal extracts. Acting as a link between conventional and advanced drug delivery systems, herbosomes are complexes formed by natural active ingredients and phospholipids (such as phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylserine), which enhance the absorption of herbal compounds. This innovative technique is emerging as a valuable approach in phytopharmaceuticals to boost the medicinal potential of herbal extracts. The article provides an overview of herbosome technology, its recent developments, applications for standardized herbal extracts, and offers comprehensive scientific insights and characterization of herbosomes as a promising drug delivery system.
