DETERMINING INGREDIENTS SYNERGY FOR IMPROVED BIOACTIVITY Objective:Test various combinations of potential formula ingredients from Stage 1 to identify the combination that delivers the highest level of synergistic activity at the lowest dose.
"Synergy: the interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects."
Because synergy between ingredients cannot be assumed, our researchers test combinations of the ingredients identified in Stage 1 to see if synergy will be observed.
The same tests are run in the same target cell-culture system(s) used in Stage 1 to detect the desired levels.
The combination and ratio of ingredients demonstrating the highest level of synergistic activity at the lowest dose is identified and selected for the next phase of the ExpresSyn Process.
