ART & SCIENCE

Thalgo product formulations are referred to as ‘galenics’, which encapsulates the art and science of preparing and compounding medicines in order to optimise their absorption. This technique is based on the system created by 2nd century AD physician Galen, and has influenced modern medicine and how ingredients deliver their efficacy. This includes how much of an active ingredient is needed, how the combinations of ingredients can deliver benefits greater than the sum of their parts, and how long the process will take.
