Delivery Systems

There have been many advances over the years in how various drugs/supplements are formulated. So why the changes? Traditional delivery systems consist of tablets that are taken orally. However, through further advances in research and examining absorption rates, medicine has branched out to explore more viable options. A drug delivery system is a formulation or a device that enables the introduction of a substance in the body and improves its efficacy and safety by controlling the rate, time, and place of release of drugs/supplements in the body. There are many options available now to the consumer that include topical or transdermal (through the skin) delivery systems, injectables, intra oral or sublingual (under the tongue), respiratory, intranasal, suppositories etc. etc.… The need to explore alternative delivery options continues to advance as further research has discovered there are major gaps in how effective various formulations are especially through taking traditional oral tablets. Hence, there has been a surge over the years in maximizing absorption rates of agents to improve the overall efficacy or effectiveness of use. We know now, through more advanced techniques of evaluating absorption rates of different available formulas, that oral tablets are inferior to others such as transdermal or sublingual options. This is because orals must be metabolized (broken down) in the gut and processed through the liver. With this form of ingesting, absorption of the active component of the drug or supplement is greatly compromised in the blood, consequently affecting the overall effectiveness. There are now more improved oral formulas that have been developed to mitigate or reduce the impact of the gut on absorption rates. Some of these include melt dose technology, extended-release tablets, gummies and chewables. It is great that we now have so many available options at our disposal to choose from to take our medications or health supplements. Shroomspa has created a store with this in mind to provide high quality, evidence-based formulas, with unique delivery options to satisfy the choice of our consumer base. Available options consist of highly absorbed oral sprays, transdermals and gummies which satisfy our consumers' desired choice. Be Blessed!!!
