Researchers have developed a new technology that makes use of a natural fat absorption system to deliver drugs from the gut straight into the blood stream by by-passing the liver. Many medications are broken down in the liver before even making it into the blood stream. This is called first past metabolism whereby the drugs we swallow go via the gut and the liver (where breakdown occurs) before even entering the blood. Scientists have long tried to bypass this process since it can prevent enough drug getting to the site of action to be useful. The new technology makes use
