Liposomes

Liposomes enable higher nutrient absorption

The most important things in brief:

  • In liposomal dietary supplements, the active ingredient is enclosed in liposomes.
  • The liposomes, which consist of small fat bubbles, effectively protect the nutrient and transport it through the intestinal wall directly into the cells.
  • They are not broken down by the stomach because liposomes are very similar to the human cell membrane.
  • Our products can therefore guarantee better bioavailability than dietary supplements in powder or tablet form.
  • Liposomal supplements are not harmful or dangerous.

1. What is a liposome?

The term liposome is derived from the Greek words "lipos" for fat and "soma" for body. The root word also describes the properties of liposomes. They form a body (vesicle) that serves as a protective shield.

What does liposomal mean?

Liposomes are lipid vesicles made of a series of phospholipids that form a double membrane. A structure arranged in this way is also present in the cell membranes of the human body. Regardless of their size or structure, liposomes can enclose different substances. These are transported both in their aqueous interior and within their fat-soluble double membrane. Liposomal therefore means the encapsulation of a specific active ingredient in phospholipids.

Impaired absorption of the active ingredient in pills and powders

The liposomal protective shield protects the transported substances from the body's own enzymes in the digestive tract and also from stomach acid. When taking conventional pills and powders, the absorption of the active ingredient is often impaired. This leads to low bioavailability of the food supplement. For example, the body usually absorbs only 2% of 500mcg of vitamin B12.

Stomach acid has pH-altering properties to protect our body from pathogens and to process fiber. This acid not only affects our tissues, but also active ingredients, liquids and food that are ingested.

Optimal protection of the food supplement:

How Liposomes Work

The liposomes act like a protective shield that surrounds the nutrient. This means that the active ingredient does not come into contact with stomach acid and is therefore not limited in its absorption. The active ingredient is protected in a double membrane of phospholipids, and liposomes can immediately merge with human cell membranes because they are structurally identical. The main function of liposomes is therefore to transport the active substance in a hidden way so that it reaches our bloodstream without losing its effectiveness.

Liquid Supplements: Liposomal Supplements Are Easy to Take

Liposomal supplements are always liquid so that the effect of the liposomes is not lost. The formation of the encapsulation around the active ingredient is only possible in a liquid state, which is why the production of liposomal capsules is not an alternative. Liposomal supplements are therefore a good tip for people who have trouble swallowing tablets.

2. How are liposomes made?

Liposomal formulations are based on a natural phenomenon. Under certain conditions, phospholipids encapsulate substances in a lipid bubble. It doesn't matter to the liposome whether these substances are vitamins, minerals, or micronutrients.

Production: Where do liposomes come from?

As the basic building blocks for our liposomes, we use 96% pure phospholipids of plant origin. We extract these from European non-GMO sunflower seeds. This corresponds to the highest purity level available on the market.

For the production of liposomes, we use ultrasound as a gentle energy source. In this phase of formation, the active ingredients can be enclosed by the liposomes and thus safely stored within them.

By supplying a special type of energy, the phospholipids arrange themselves in the formation of double membranes, which is similar to the human cell membrane. The liposomes are surrounded by an aqueous solution.

The fat-loving tails of the phospholipids are directed inwards and the water-loving heads are directed outwards towards the surrounding water solution.

In order for phospholipids to arrange themselves correctly, they must be in water. Only then do they naturally form a spherical shape. This chemical reaction has already created the liposome.

3. Why buy liposomal products?

Our clinical studies have proven it: bioavailability, i.e., the effective absorption of the active ingredient by our body, can be increased with liposomal food supplements!

For example, the bioavailability of glutathione was increased 63-fold with ActiNovo liposomal technology! The destination for every active ingredient we take through food supplements are the cells in our tissue, which are to be reached via the bloodstream.

Only in this way can the nutrients unleash their optimal effect in the right places in our body and give us new vitality.

The principle of ActiNovo liposomal products: Easy to take, good absorption!

Our goal is to offer liposomal food supplements of outstanding quality at a fair price. Our studies demonstrate this commitment to quality!

Frequently Asked Questions

Are liposomes dangerous?

Liposomes are small fat droplets and are formed from plant substances such as sunflower seeds. They are therefore harmless.
What do liposomes do?

Liposomes consist of so-called lipid vesicles. These are tiny fat droplets arranged in a row, also known as phospholipids. These have the ability to enclose an active ingredient. Since they are very similar to the human cell membrane, liposomes are not attacked by the body and are transported directly into the cell.
Are liposomes harmful?

Liposomes are not harmful and there are no known side effects when taking them.
What are liposomes?

Liposomes are tiny lipid vesicles made up of phospholipids arranged in a row. The lipids, which consist of fat droplets, form a double membrane and can absorb various active substances.

This gives liposomes the ability to create a liposomal protective shield that is very similar to that of a human cell. Liposomal nutritional supplements, for example, make use of this possibility.
What does bioavailability mean?

From a scientific point of view, bioavailability describes the proportion of a nutrient that is actually absorbed by the body after consumption and enters the bloodstream. When liposomal nutritional supplements are consumed, the vital substance travels through the intestines directly into the blood and is fully available to the body.
Are liposomal vitamins better?

Liposomal vitamins have a significantly better bioavailability (absorption) by the body and are also better tolerated than conventional dietary supplements
