Liposomal Supplements

Liposomal technology is recently developed and unique-it provides you with excellent delivery and superior absorption of drugs or supplements.

As water and oil do not mix, there are challenges in bringing a water-soluble nutrient such as vitamin C into a fat-soluble matrix such as cell membranes. Liposomal capsules and oral sprays have been developed for this purpose and have been formulated to hold both water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins. CoQ10 is an example of a fat-soluble vitamin that benefits from liposomal formulation.

Liposomal capsules pass through the digestive barrier and deliver the vitamin directly into the bloodstream, then into our cells.

An oral liposomal spray is highly beneficial and convenient as it can deliver the exact same size dose throughout the day, perfect for those water-soluble vitamins unable to be stored or those, such as vitamin C, that are better absorbed in smaller doses, more often throughout the day. Vitamin C is typically absorbed slowly-absorption is accelerated when taken in a liposomal form.

Liposomal supplements offer many benefits over standard oral formulations: * Water-soluble and fat-soluble compounds can be absorbed via phospholipid structures that allow for delivery of compounds with different solubilities together, at one time, within the same particles. Isn't that amazing? * Faster absorption via the mouth. Usually just one spray directly onto the inner cheek or under the tongue, held in the mouth for 30 seconds then swallowed is one dose. * Liposomes can survive in the stomach's acidic environment. This ensures intestinal uptake and efficient delivery to the lymphatic system. Liposomals bypass the gastrointestinal tract by directly entering circulation via the lymphatic system. This method avoids 'roadblocks' such as low stomach acid (hypochlorhydria), poor absorption issues and overgrowth of intestinal bacteria. * Liquid liposomal formulations are excellent for those unable to swallow pills, for those who do not like taking pills or for those who wish to reduce the number of pills they take. A great option that results in improved patient compliance. * Clinical trials have used liposomal delivery systems (as they are known) for antifungal, antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medications. * Liposomes can travel through the blood brain barrier unlike standard supplement formulations.

Gaining a reputation for their rapid uptake and effective delivery into cells, liposomals are a welcome option for supplementation. ‍ ‍
