Abstract
A phytosome is defined as a combination of a phospholipid and a natural active substance. One of the lipid- based vesicular delivery methods is the phytosome, which can be used to encapsulate drugs and nutraceuticals derived from plants polyphenolic chemicals. Phytosomes are said to boost the absorption of traditional herbal remedies topically and orally. Phytosomes aid in increasing the solubility and bioavailability of polyphenolic substances through the gastrointestinal tract. Phytosomes preparation is simple to make and can be scaled up for business use easily. This article elaborates the concept of phytosome with detailed information regarding its structure, properties, applications preparation, and evaluation methods.
