Liposomal Science
What are Liposomes?
Liposomes are tiny, bubble-like structures made from the same material as your body’s cell membranes — phospholipids.
Imagine them as little fat jackets with a water-loving (hydrophilic) inner lining and a fat-loving (lipophilic) outer cover.
These clever little bubbles can encapsulate nutrients like vitamins, minerals or plant compounds, protecting them as they travel through the digestive system.
This means more of the nutrient actually reaches the cells, where it’s needed most.
How Liposomes Work
When you take a regular supplement such as a capsule, gummy or tablet, a large portion of the active ingredient can be lost in the digestive tract.
Stomach acid, enzymes, and poor absorption through the gut wall all play a role.
Liposomes solve that problem.
Their protective outer layer, the fat jacket, shields nutrients from damage in the stomach.
Their structure mimics your own cells, which makes it easier for your body to recognise and absorb the nutrients.
They can fuse with cell membranes, delivering nutrients directly into your bloodstream and eventually, your cells.
The result?
Better absorption, higher potency and more predictable benefits.
The Science Behind Liposomal Delivery
The field of liposomal science originated in pharmaceutical medicine where liposomes have been used for decades to deliver powerful drugs more effectively.
Now, the same cutting-edge technology is being used to revolutionise nutrition.
Here's what sets liposomal delivery apart:
BIOAVAILABILITY
This is the proportion of a nutrient your body can actually use. Liposomes dramatically increase it — in some cases, several times higher than standard forms.
STABILITY
Liposomes protect delicate nutrients (like vitamin C or glutathione) that would otherwise break down in the gut.
TARGETED
Because they interact well with human cells, liposomes can help carry nutrients to the right place in the body.
Why it Matters
You take supplements to feel better, support your health, or address a specific need but if your body can't absorb what you're taking, you're not getting the benefits.
