Phytosome® Technology: A Smarter Way to Support Nutrient Absorption

Phytosome® Technology: A Smarter Way to Support Nutrient Absorption

We don’t just make supplements. We make supplements that work. At Enzymedica, every product we make is built around one idea: Get what your body needs where it needs to go. It’s why our Thera-blend® technology blends digestive enzymes so they work all the way through the digestive tract. It’s why our systemic enzymes are formulated to go beyond digestion and into circulation (aka your body’s super-highway for transporting nutrients, oxygen, etc.).

And it’s why Phytosome® technology is mission-critical for us. When it comes to ingredients like Berberine, Lemon Balm and PEA, it’s not about what you take. It’s about what your body can actually use.*

What Is Phytosome® Technology?

Phytosome® technology is an advanced delivery system designed to help your body better absorb certain nutrients and plant compounds. It works by pairing an ingredient like Berberine, Lemon Balm or PEA with phospholipids, which are already natural components of your cell membranes.

The result is a format your body can recognize, absorb and use more efficiently.

Why Absorption Is Everything

Many natural ingredients are powerful, but hard to absorb. They can be:

  • Poorly soluble
  • Destroyed/deactivated during digestion
  • Inconsistently utilized

That means even the best ingredients may not deliver their full potential – and where delivery (aka absorption) changes everything.

From Digestion to Circulation: The Enzymedica Approach

We’ve always believed in making the best possible version of any formula that carries our name.

  • Thera-blend® enzymes are designed to go the distance, working from the stomach to the microbiome for complete digestive support.* We blend multiple strains of each type of enzyme, so you’re always covered. 
  • Let’s Go Fiber+ features next-gen fibers to help nourish the gut ecosystem with prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics for a formula that goes beyond your typical regularity support.* We blend Solnul®, an upcycled resistant starch that is a clinically studied fermentable fiber with included inavea™ Pure Acacia, a sustainably sourced acacia fiber known for its gentle prebiotic activity. 
  • Heartburn Soothe* is formulated so we can use less alginate, for a better-tasting tablet, with no foamy, chalky, or unpleasant taste. It came through a partnership with Enzymedica and SRQ Bio, a division of the world-renowned Roskamp Institute, the result of detailed scientific research to provide immediate results to soothe occasional heartburn.*
  • DGL Stomach Soothe Gummies were the world’s first of their kind, but they aren’t chewable for fun and flavor. Your saliva activates the DGL, so the licorice can get to work soothing, strengthening and protecting your stomach lining. 
  • Gut Motility features ProDigest®, a combination of a triple standardized Artichoke leaf extract and a Ginger CO2 extract, that has been clinically studied to deliver gentle relief every time.*

The clinically studied strains of probiotics in SubCulture. The 100% vegan algae-sourced Vitamin D in our Vitamin D3 + Vitamin K2. The Actizin kiwi in Kiwi Regularity. The list goes on. They’re all different formulas, targeting different systems but formulated with the same philosophy: Go where you’re needed. Do what you’re designed to do.

Phytosome® technology extends that philosophy to a new category of ingredients.

How Phytosome® Works in the Body

Phospholipids act as a delivery partner. When paired with an ingredient, they help:

  • Protect delicate compounds during digestion
  • Improve movement across intestinal barriers
  • Support better bioavailability

Because phospholipids are similar to those in your own cells, they help “escort” nutrients into circulation, where they can actually do their job.

Why This Matters for Berberine, Lemon Balm and PEA

Some ingredients don’t work in the gut—they work throughout the body.

That includes:

Lemon Balm Phytosome®

  • Supports relaxation and calm mood*
  • Helps promote restful, restorative sleep*

PEA Phytosome®

  • Supports joint and muscle comfort*
  • Helps maintain healthy nerve signaling*

Berberine Phytosome®

  • Supports activation of AMPK, the body's metabolic energy switch*
  • Promotes heart, cardiovascular and immune health*

These benefits depend on systemic absorption. Without it, you’re not getting the full picture.

A Smarter Evolution of Traditional Wellness

For centuries, herbal traditions paired plants with fats, alcohol or water to improve effectiveness. Phytosome® technology is a modern evolution of that idea combining:

  • Traditional botanical wisdom
  • Advanced, precise delivery science
  • Clinically studied ingredients

We aren't swapping out the ingredients. We’re helping your body actually use it.

Designed to Deliver Every Time

Phytosome® formulations are designed to:

  • Improve absorption
  • Increase consistency
  • Deliver ingredients more efficiently*

Better delivery means better support for sleep, mood, comfort, metabolism and recovery.*

We believe in targeted delivery, not “hope for the best.” Because we make things that get to where they need to go.*
