Animal Pharmaceuticals products use Pharmasomes, a patented technology that makes it possible to
create deeper, longer-lasting delivery of active ingredients in liquid medications, shampoos and otics.

Pharmasomes are made up of Phospholipids, a special group of lipids containing phosphate. Most lipids are “hydrophobic,” meaning that they cannot be mixed with water.The reason that phospholipids are special is because they are “hydrophilic” – able to mix with water.

When phospholipids are immersed in water they arrange themselves so their hydrophilic regions (heads) point toward the
water and their hydrophobic regions (tails) point away from water. When mixed with water, phospholipids create a unique formation of phospholipid bilayers, which are the core structures of what we refer to as “Pharmasomes.”

Pharmasomes are most useful for being able to encapsulate, transfer and deliver active ingredients. The Pharmasome wall has a similar physiological structure to the material of cell membranes, making Pharmasomes highly compatible and able to interact well with animal cells.

When an Animal Pharmaceutical product containing Pharmasomes is applied to the animal’s skin, for example, the Pharmasomes are deposited on the skin and quickly begin to merge with the animal’s cellular membranes. In the process, the Pharmasomes release their payload of active ingredients into the cells. Pharmasomes make it possible for active ingredients to penetrate deeper, and also release the active ingredients over a longer period of time.
