Flarin’s complex manufacturing process heats lipids, ibuprofen and other excipients together to create a unique patented formulation.

Lipids are used to aid absorption. They are known to pass from the stomach into the small intestine where they are absorbed through the lymphatic system. By dissolving Flarin’s anti-inflammatory ingredient (ibuprofen) in lipids it helps to shield the stomach from damage.2

Lipid or Liquid?

Flarin capsules are manufactured in a different way to LIQUID capsules, rather than dissolving ibuprofen in a watery liquid the ibuprofen is formulated with LIPIDS which are absorbed differently.

LIPIDS are fatty substances such as oils, butter and fat. LIPIDS are absorbed in your small intestine, unlike LIQUIDS which are absorbed in your stomach.

By dissolving ibuprofen in LIPIDS, Flarin minimises contact with the stomach helping to shield it from damage.2
