Honokiol is a less known food supplement but with wonderful potential. It is a natural extract from Magnolia bark, used for centuries in traditional medicine in China, Korea, and Japan, due to its perfect combination of bioavailability and ability to support the body through a wide range of mechanisms, often reflected in the scientific research performed on Honokiol, during the past decades.
While the academic and clinical findings related to its potential are numerous (more than 1200 published studies listed on PubMed) and many are often outstanding, supporting its traditional use, inline with the European regulation, these findings cannot be addressed here.
We at MCS Formulas, believe that one of the most relevant and little known aspect behind Honokiol is related to it’s potential to promote the stability of important DHA (from Omega-3) metabolites. The science behind this potential will be addressed very soon in one of our “Health and Science” blog posts. And this is why we believe that a great food supplement combination is achieved by combining our Honokiol with our Omega 3 product.
MCS Formulas provides the best Honokiol in the highest amount …
Our Honokiol capsules include one of the largest amount and purest form of Honokiol available worldwide.
…. formulated in an outstanding absorption promoting formula
However, we did not stop here. Instead, in order to maximize the absorption of Honokiol, we have designed a formula to also maximize its bio-availability.
A major approach known to maximize bio-availability of natural compounds is the phospholipid-based formulation. Such formulations are known as liposomal formulations and commercially, they come as liquid emulsions or solid formulations promoting the formation of liposomal structures (bubble-like structures surrounded by a fat-based layer) that can encapsulate the active ingredients such as Honokiol. This phospholipid layer is similar to the cell walls in our body. As a result, liposomes are well received by the body and absorbed in higher quantities by the body, to reach the blood stream.
While liposomal formulations are a great way to deliver increased amount of supplements and drugs to the blood stream, when turning these into products, it leads to various disadvantages for the users. Liposomal products are liquid, heavy and difficult to carry. They have difficult taste. Making their taste better may come with various undesired additives. And typically they have short shelf life, even shorter after the bottle is open. Furthermore, liquid liposomal products need to stay stored at low temperature.
In contrast to the liquid liposomal supplements, liposomal promoting formulations as dry powder in capsules have no taste, they are easy to carry, and they can be stored at room temperature with a long shelf life. The quality is therefore even better since the product is more stable.
Furthermore, phospholipids can be negatively or positively charged leading to a lower absorption and time to circulate in the blood stream, compared to neutrally charged liposomes. In order to address this and further maximize the absorption, our Pro Liposomal formula includes LongLifeLipoTech™
LongLifeLipoTech™ is a pro liposomal technology that includes a proprietary blend of Phospholipids and Chitosan designed with the intention to promote the formation of neutrally charged liposomes. Indeed, it is known that Chitosan naturally binds to charged phospholipids to form neutrally charged liposomes. This is how, LongLifeLipoTech™ pro liposomal blend, supports the formation of liposomes that can have a better biocompatibility (improved absorption and a longer circulating time in the blood stream) compared to formulas based on phospholipids alone.
