Has fluid in his lungs. Fever over 100. Oxygen was in the 60s at home & got up to 90s with oxygen in the ER. They think the appendix is infected too.
As much as we disagree, he is the one who taught me to question everything & look on both (all) sides of every issue to figure out what both sides were refusing to discuss.
He will likely be healed up here soon, really my mother & family could use strength to care for him as he recovers. He hit his head a few weeks ago & hasn't quite been the same... Though still as stubborn as ever 😆
When it is time for him to go, it is his time. The family could really just use some support & blessings. Likely everyone in this board could use more during these times too.
Well I am talking about pharmacokinetic formulations which drive bioavailability and not chemical formulations but in terms of chemical formulations, here is some on B12.
1. Methylcobalamin
2. Hydroxocobalamin
As far as pharmacokinetics goes I will give an example using curcumin.
Absolute Bioavailability of Curcumin
Enhancing Bioavailability with Liposomal and Nano Formulations
Liposomal Formulations: Liposomes encapsulate curcumin in phospholipid bilayers, enhancing its absorption by improving solubility and protecting it from degradation. Liposomal curcumin can increase bioavailability by up to 8-10 times compared to standard curcumin.
Nano Formulations: Nanoparticle-based delivery systems, such as nanomicelles or nanocurcumin, can enhance curcumin’s solubility, stability, and permeability. Nano-curcumin has been shown to increase its bioavailability around 40-fold in clinical studies, allowing for more effective therapeutic outcomes.
These advanced formulations bypass some of the limitations of curcumin’s natural form, offering more consistent therapeutic effects at lower doses.
The best form I have found is Nanocur. https://a.co/d/4NzSVqK I reached out to the company and recieved their pharmacokinetic and pharmcodynamic data, patents, etc. It's is a nano formulation wrapped in a beta-cyclodextrin complex. It's nearly 100% bioavailable. The size is 5nm which is amazingly small, a blood cell is roughly 6,000 yo 8,000 nm. Is almost small enough to passively pass through cells which is 1nm. So it still needs endocytosis to enter the cell, but it does so very well.
I had never be aware of pharmacokinetics information.
That is a fascinating study there. I clearly need to learn more about the size of cells & how delivery systems may effect products inside out body.
Thank you for this!
How did you learn about, or first discover pharmacokinetics?
I would reccomend just a lot of study. I got into it due to my dad getting stage 4 lung cancer. So I dived deep into research.
