In
the case of natural supplements as well as many medications, it
is important to first understand why we feel strongly about transdermal
delivery - absorbing nutrients through the skin. Doctors around
the world are calling transdermal delivery "the
delivery system of the future." It
has been discovered that a high absorption rate of many supplements
can be achieved when delivered through the skin - usually as a
cream. (The physical size of the supplement's molecule plays an
important role). The reason for this is when supplements are delivered
transdermally, they go directly to the blood-stream, initially
bypassing the liver. The result can mean as much as 95% of the
supplements get to the cells where they are needed.* Conversely,
studies have shown when some substances are taken orally, as little
as 5% make it to the cells where they are needed. This is because
of the stomach, liver and digestive system excreting and discarding
much of them.

Think
of it. What it means is that a pill with the required dose of the drug
will impart perhaps only 5% of the drug where it can do some good. The
rest of it (95%) just puts a needless strain on the liver, stomach and
digestive system before being evicted!
When applied transdermally, nearly all of the active ingredient goes to
where its supposed to.
It is however, not so easy to create a product that can transfer through
the skin without reaction or complications, and is often more expensive
than converting it to a simple pill. But it is often so much more effective!
