Centella Phytosome : improved action in vein and skin disorders. ®

Centella asiatica L. selected triterpenes (CAST) are a highly standardised mixture of asiaticoside (36-44%), asiatic and madecassic acid (56-64%), assayed by HPLC. CAST are today active principles in several pharmaceutical products for the treatment of vein and skin disorders and in specific cosmetic products. In biological terms, CAST have been shown to enhance fibroblast proline incorporation and stimulate collagen biosynthesis, improving the connective structure of tissues. CAST thus favour wound healing and tissue microcirculation, and counteract such harmful venous processes as haemorrhoids and varices.

New molecular entity The effectiveness of CAST has been improved by complexing with soy phospholipids. This enhances the oral bioavailability of incompletely absorbed molecules by promoting interaction with bile salts. ® The resulting complex, CENTELLA PHYTOSOME , is a new molecular entity whose improved activity is demonstrated by comparison with CAST in the uncomplexed form.
