What is a liposome?

L-VITAL® liposomes are small spherical lipid vesicles, structured in the same way as human cells. They are made up of a bilayer membrane of phospholipids, essential natural fatty acids which also make up cell membranes.
Liposomes have a unique ability to trap fat-soluble or water-soluble active ingredients. They can encapsulate a wide range of bioactive substances in their aqueous core or in their membrane.
Biomimetic of human cells, liposomes represent an ideal delivery vehicle for a broad spectrum of nutritional compounds often with low bioavailability.

What are the absorption properties of a liposome?

Due to their small size and lipid nature, liposomes are absorbed mainly through the oral and intestinal mucosa. They are then released into the lymphatic circulation.

By this pathway, liposomes are delivered directly to cells, without hepatic passage or degradation.

In contact with cell walls, liposomes are incorporated. They then release their contents, which are distributed throughout the cell.

Liposoms are vehicles of protection and transport, and aim at improving the administration of nutritional active ingredients by overcoming the obstacles linked to digestive degradation and intestinal and cellular absorption mechanisms.

What can L-VITAL® liposome do for your nutraceutical range?

The question is simple: the efficiency of a dietary supplement is largely related to the absorption of its active ingredients. The use of liposomal ingredients in nutraceuticals is nowadays in full expansion because they offer a privileged possibility to increase the efficiency of the oral absorption of nutrients and phyto-actives, which is often low.

L-VITAL® liposome ingredients enable you to :

  • Guarantee highly bioavailable, truly effective active ingredients
  •  Provide dietary supplements with excellent tolerance, even on sensitive ingredients
  • Differentiate yourself in the nutraceutical market with innovative active ingredients
