FAQs BIOSOMO Liquids
Questions about our products
Why are your products liquid?
Our liposomal supplements are liquid to ensure optimal bioavailability and ease of ingestion. The liquid form allows the body to absorb the active ingredients more quickly and efficiently than with conventional tablets or capsules.
Can I take BIOSOMO pure or with less fluid?
We recommend always mixing BIOSOMO Liquids with the recommended amount of liquid to ensure the formation and distribution of the liposomes. The recommended amount of liquid is important for the formation of the absorption surface and thus a high bioavailability.
Can I mix BIOSOMO with other liquids like water?
Yes, you can also mix BIOSOMO Liquids with another fluid, such as fruit juices. However, you should also pay attention to the recommended amount of liquid.
What does it mean that your products have high bioavailability?
High bioavailability means that a greater proportion of the nutrients contained in our products can be absorbed and utilised by the body. This is achieved through liposomal technology, which improves the solubility of the nutrients and also protects them from being broken down in the digestive system.
Why can't I find specific health and performance claims for each product?
The EU Health Claims Regulation regulates the use of health claims on foods, including food supplements. According to this regulation, we are not allowed to make health and efficacy claims for most of the natural ingredients we use. However, you can obtain information about individual natural products and substances from your doctor, pharmacist or health practitioner, and there is a great deal of information available on the internet.
Where are your products manufactured?
All our products are made in Germany. We are committed to quality and safety, so we closely monitor the production process and ensure that all products meet the highest German quality standards.
Do you source your raw materials from Germany?
Yes, we source all the raw materials for our products from German suppliers. This allows us to work closely with our suppliers to ensure the quality and purity of the ingredients and to keep supply chains short and sustainable.
How should liposomal nutritional supplements be stored?
We recommend storing our liposomal nutritional supplements in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. We do not recommend storing them in the refrigerator as a significant change in temperature could have a negative effect on the dosing accuracy of the pump system. Please refer to the specific instructions on the product label for the expiry date.

Specific areas of use and dosage
Wie sollte die Dosierung von Nahrungsergänzungsmitteln bei Schwangeren und Kindern gehandhabt werden?
How should the dosage of dietary supplements be handled in pregnant women and children?
Are the products suitable for pregnant women or children?
For pregnant women: Nutrient requirements change significantly during pregnancy. Some nutrients are needed in higher amounts, while others should be taken with caution to avoid overdosing. Therefore, intake and dosage should always be discussed with a doctor, pharmacist or qualified specialist.
For children: The dosage for children should be appropriate to their age and stage of development. An overdose can be just as harmful as a nutrient deficiency. It is therefore essential to consult a paediatrician or nutritionist before giving any dietary supplement to children.
In both cases, it is important to seek professional advice before taking any supplements. This will ensure that both pregnant women and children get the right nutrients in the right amounts, without the risk of overdosing or underdosing.
General information and glossary
What are nutritional supplements?
Food supplements are products that are intended to supplement the normal diet. They are a concentrated source of vitamins, minerals or other substances with a nutritional or physiological effect.
What is actually meant by bioavailability?
Bioavailability refers to the proportion of an active ingredient or nutrient that is available in the bloodstream after it has been absorbed into the body and can therefore reach the site of action. It is a measure of how quickly and to what extent an active ingredient is absorbed from a product (e.g. a dietary supplement) and can be utilised by the body. High bioavailability means that a large proportion of the ingested substance can be utilised by the body. Factors such as the form of the active ingredient, additives, method of ingestion and individual differences in digestion can affect bioavailability.
What does good absorption of natural substances mean?
Good absorption of natural substances means that they are effectively absorbed through the digestive system and into the bloodstream. This is crucial for the efficacy of dietary supplements and other natural products, as only those substances that are absorbed can realise their potential benefits. Absorption can be influenced by a number of factors, including the solubility of the substance, the presence of certain enzymes and transport proteins, and the general health of the digestive system.
Why are BIOSOMO Liquids special in terms of their absorption and bioavailability?
BIOSOMO Liquids are particularly well absorbed by the body due to their dosage form, resulting in a high bioavailability of the natural substances used. In addition, the liquid liposomal formulation creates an enormous absorption surface for our digestive system, which contributes to increased absorption.
