Liposomal vs. Classic accessories: what is the difference ?

An innovation has emerged in the world of nutritional supplements that promises better absorption and greater efficacy – liposomal supplements. But what are liposomes and how are they different from traditional supplements? In this article, we will explore how liposomal technology improves nutrient absorption and why lower doses are needed for the same or even greater efficacy.

What are liposomes?

Liposomes are microscopic vesicles composed of one or more layers of phospholipids – molecules that are the main components of cell membranes in our body. Their structure allows for the encapsulation of both water-soluble and fat-soluble active ingredients, which increases the stability and bioavailability of these substances. (1*)

Benefits of liposomal supplements

1. Better absorption: Liposomes protect the active ingredients from being broken down in the digestive tract, allowing for greater absorption into the bloodstream. This means that the body can utilize more of the nutrients from the supplements you consume. (2*)

2. Lower doses, greater effectiveness: Due to better absorption, it is often possible to achieve the same or even better effects with lower doses of liposomal supplements compared to conventional ones. This reduces the risk of potential side effects associated with larger doses of the substance. (3*)

3. Targeted delivery of active ingredients: Liposomes can target specific tissues or cells, increasing the effectiveness of treatment and reducing the impact on other parts of the body. (3*)

Scientific support for liposomal supplements

Research has shown that liposomal technology improves the bioavailability of many nutrients. For example, studies have shown that liposomal vitamin C absorption is up to 20 times greater than conventional forms of the vitamin. Similarly, research has shown that liposomal curcumin has six times higher blood concentrations than oil-based curcumin. (2*) (4*)

Liposomal supplements represent a significant advancement in the world of nutritional supplements. With improved absorption and greater bioavailability, they allow for smaller doses for the same or greater efficacy, which can contribute to better health and well-being.
