Bioenhancer to Boost Herbal Drug Efficacy
Abstract: Bioenhancers are natural substances that significantly improve the absorption, bioavailability, and therapeutic efficacy of drugs when co-administered, without showing notable pharmacological activity of their own. In herbal medicine, the concept of bioenhancement has received growing attention as many phytoconstituents exhibit low oral bioavailability due to poor solubility, limited permeability, and extensive first-pass metabolism. The traditional Ayurvedic system first introduced this concept through the discovery of Piperine, the active alkaloid from …
