Phytofare Clinically Proven to Dramatically Improve Absorption
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, April 03, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Plandai Biotechnology Inc. (OTC Markets: PLPL) (the “Company” or “Plandai”), a producer of nutraceutical and highly phyto-available extracts, today provided an update to its development of its highly bioavailable phyto-nutrient rich extracts which are being utilized to deliver a new family of affordable effective personal wellness products.
Plandai is Gaelic for “plant food” and references the Company’s origins in Ireland over fifteen years ago with a vision to take all-natural nutraceutical ingredients and unlocking their pharmaceutical potential by delivering a therapeutic level of essential plant-based nutrients to human cells.
Callum Cottrell-Duffield, Chief Operating Officer of Plandai, summarized, “Science has shown that plants have tremendous curative properties. However, current extraction methods fail to produce products that can be properly absorbed and remain in the system long enough for a therapeutic effect. Plandaí alone possesses the technology to restructure plant nutrients into a highly-purified form that the body can more easily process while also increasing their absorption into the blood plasma and the length of time those nutrients remain present and active in your system. The end result is that Phytofare® is simply the purest possible plant extract rendered in an extremely powerful and natural state. Simply put, we are able to finally unlock nature’s potential.”
Phytofare® products are specially formulated to have extremely high bioavailability. In practical terms, this means that Plandai can deliver more of the vital plant nutrients to the blood plasma where it remains at a therapeutic level for over 24 hours. Compared to generic green tea extracts:
1. Phytofare® contains all of the phyto-nutrients in a stable, active extract. For example, with green tea, Phytofare® has all 8 catechins compared to just 2 in generic. The different is greater efficacy and improved synergy.
2. Phytofare® consists of mostly sub-micron sized particles which enhances cellular uptake.
3. Phytofare® is more bioavailable than generic extracts. In fact, it is clinically proven to have 10-16 times greater bioavailability.
4. Phytofare has 4 times greater residency in the blood plasma, 24 hours compared to 6. This means it can be an effective “once a day” dose.
5. Phytofare® offers greater stability over generic. Studies have shown that Phytofare® still retains over 70% of its catechin efficacy after 90-day exposure, whereas generic catechins are completely gone.
6. Phytofare® cost per dose is a fraction of its nearest competitor.
Mr. Cottrell-Duffield concluded, “Plandai has proven that botanical extracts can be produced with pharmaceutical properties and potential. The phyto-availability of Phytofare® extracts can lead to a new family of all-natural, homeopathic cost-effective wellness products developed from the botanical pharmacopeia—without the high cost associated with other drug-based treatments, and the toxic side effects usually associated with them, including the creation of drug resistance.”
