Abstract

Phytosomes are an advanced drug delivery system that increases the bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy of herbal extracts. Traditional herbal formulations often fail because of very poor solubility, rapid degradation, and limited absorption that hinder their clinical application. The complexes of active phytochemicals in the form of phospholipid complexes of phytosomes greatly improve the solubility and stability of these types of active compounds and make targeted delivery to specific tissues possible. This technology has several advantages over traditional herbal extracts-including better bioavailability, prolonged release, and minimized side effects. There are several methods of preparation-including solvent evaporation and high-pressure homogenization-allowing phytosomes to be formulated in efficient ways. Applications of phytosomes involve not only pharmaceuticals but nutraceuticals and cosmetics as well, showing their applicability for performance enhancement in the product. It still suffers from formulation, regulatory compliance, and cost-effectiveness problems that hinder its more universal application in the clinical field. Major future research lines focus on innovative formulations, new preparation techniques, and fully exploiting the phytosomes' potential in the medical field. Therefore, phytosomes have bright prospects in herbal medicine fields of changing the landscape by filling the gap between traditional medicinal remedies and modern drug delivery systems
