Many of the compounds found in Bouwen products—such as Aromasin (Exemestane), Proviron (Mesterolone), and other anabolic and hormonal compounds—are fat-soluble, meaning they require fats to be effectively absorbed by the body.

Why This Matters

Without fat, fat-soluble compounds struggle to pass through the intestinal wall and into the bloodstream.

Tablets lack fat carriers, leading to lower absorption rates.

Bouwen capsules contain fractionated MCT oil, which enhances absorption by providing the necessary fat matrix for the active ingredient.

MCT Oil as a Carrier for Enhanced Bioavailability

Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are widely used in pharmaceutical lipid-based drug delivery systems because they significantly enhance absorption and bioavailability.

MCT oil bypasses first-pass metabolism, leading to greater absorption of active compounds.

A study in the Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences found that lipid-based drug formulations (like MCT oil) improve the uptake of fat-soluble hormones and steroids.

By using fractionated powdered MCT oil, Bouwen ensures more effective delivery of the active ingredient compared to traditional tablets.

BioPerine (Black Pepper Extract) for Absorption Enhancement

Bouwen also includes BioPerine (piperine extract) in its capsule formulations to further enhance bioavailability.

Studies show that piperine increases the absorption of fat-soluble compounds by 30-200%.

Piperine works by inhibiting digestive enzymes that break down drugs too quickly, allowing for higher systemic absorption.

A study published in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry found that piperine enhances the absorption of multiple pharmaceutical compounds through increased intestinal permeability.

Bouwen capsules use a two-part absorption strategy:
