You want to get maximum benefit from your botanical supplements. That's where phytosomes come in. Learn what they are, how they work, and what the clinical research has to say.
Phytosomes
Narrator: We know from laboratory studies that plant extracts like curcumin, milk thistle, and boswellia can have powerful positive effects on our health.
Description: As the narrator talks, simple black and gold line animations illustrate his words. Occasionally, text will appear on screen, only serving to emphasize the narrator’s words, while not adding new information, unless otherwise noted. The video begins in a lab scene, which transitions to illustrations of the various plant extracts mentioned.
Narrator: Unfortunately, these botanicals are not well-absorbed by the body, and their active ingredients can’t help us if they aren’t adequately absorbed in the first place.
Description: The botanical illustrations animate away, to be replaced with abstract ingredient icons, which scale down, representing the concept of absorption.
Narrator: The answer is something called a phytosome. A phytosome is a compound created by complexing a plant extract with lecithin.
Description: A complicated circular phytosome illustration is shown. In the center of the phytosome a plant icon shifts into a lecithin icon, which looks similar to the components making up the phytosome.
Narrator: Clinical studies have shown that a phytosome complex significantly improves the absorption of the plant extract and its effects on the body.
Description: The phytosome pulls back to reveal four other phytosome compounds, all slowly rotating. In the final moments, a long line of Thorne products featuring phytosomes are shown, slowly shifting to the left of the screen. A disclaimer at the bottom reads: these statements have not been evaluated by the food and drug administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. The video ends with the Thorne logo on black.
Narrator: So if you want the most out of your botanical supplements, then look for “phytosome” on the product label.
