Our Technology
JUST RIGHT
Tanka’s 30-day continuous release bracelets feature a patented macromolecular technology that delivers nutrients directly through the skin, ensuring effective absorption and maximum results. This innovative approach bypasses the digestive system, avoiding the first-pass metabolism common in oral supplements.
As a result, Tanka offers a safer and more efficient method for nutrient intake, free from adverse effects on vital organs. This cutting-edge technology aligns perfectly with our commitment to health, efficiency, and convenience in wellness.
in a nutshell
TANKA'S TECHNICAL BULLETIN
How It Works
Schematic representation of transepidermal drug delivery mechanisms
Our skin is the largest organ in our body, and because of its extensive surface area, offers a potential site for the active absorption of supplements.
This can prove to be a challenging task, however, due to the first mechanical barrier of the skin, called the stratum corneum (SC). Active ingredients must permeate this natural protective barrier in order to be absorbed into the circulation.
At Tanka, we have developed a patented macromolecular technology that enhances skin permeation and absorption.
Tanka’s innovative method of transdermal delivery avoids the ‘first pass metabolism phenomenon’, whereby the concentration of active ingredients are drastically reduced before reaching the systemic circulation. Achieve long-lasting and consistent absorption systemically, and maintain stable therapeutic concentrations of supplements with an easy-to-use, wear-and-forget Tanka Wellness bracelet.
