  • Abstract:
  • The integration of botanical extracts and bioactive compounds into novel drug delivery systems (NDDS) has revolutionized the field of herbal medicine and nutraceuticals. This review explores the diverse methods available for formulating unique herbal formulations, including cubosomes, transferosomes, ethosomes, liposomes, nanoemulsions, polymeric nanoparticles, and nanocapsules, all utilizing botanical and bioactive extracts. Among these innovative approaches, phytosome technology has emerged as a patented breakthrough developed by a reputable producer of herbal medicines and nutraceuticals. Phytosome technology involves the creation of lipid-compatible molecular complexes by enhancing standardized extracts of plant or water-soluble phytoconstituents with phospholipids. This novel formulation crucially enhances the drug's bioavailability and absorption compared to traditional plant actives and extract formulations.
