How is Fenbendazole Best Administered?
Enhancing the Bioavailability of Fenbendazole with Oleic Acid._ Oleic acid is a fatty acid that occurs naturally in various animal and vegetable fats and oils.
The most readily available, oleic acid-rich, practical substance is olive oil. Most likely due to its role as an emulsifying agent, Liu et al (2018) found that pairing mebendazole with oleic acid (olive oil) greatly enhances the bioavailability of mebendazole. T
he magnitude of the effect was substantial, 1.6 to 2.8 times greater serum levels of mebendazole were obtained when co-administering mebendazole with various oils compared to controls. Olive oil was the most effective mebendazole booster. As should be expected, the increased serum levels of mebendazole translated into more effective parasite killing effects in the animals models used as well.
Administration of Fenbendazole
The practical application of interactions of fenbendazole with the substances mentioned above are straight forward. To maximize the likelihood of ingested fenbendazole getting into the blood stream to kill distant cancer cells, helping absorption is wise. Whether you choose to take fenben with a fatty meal, mixed in a tablespoon of olive oil or both, these actions should deliver more bang for your buck with respect to more of the fenbendazole surviving digestive degradation to deliver more cancer killing punch.
