"We have a lot of compounds that we've extracted from plants, pure things like curcumin and resveratrol and quercetin. And we have all the biochemical data on the pathways that they target. But even the drug companies know how good these are for the different pathways. But the reason they don't use them is because they have poor bioavailability and you can't get them into the system. So we need some way to cheat the normal absorption and increase it" [6:28] -Dr.Shade
