I am having difficulty making this sentence flow in English.

Pero es que además, XXXXX olvida explicar que tanto la celulosa microcristalina como la XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxx tienen un papel fundamental en la formación del producto reivindicado en la patente por cuanto solucionan un problema asociado a la dificultad de obtención de los esferoides.
