The Liposomes.
The most successful drug-carrier system known to date.
Liposomes are valued for their biological and technological advantages and are considered to be the most successful drug-carrier system known to date.
What is a Liposome?
The term ‘LIOPSOME’ is derived from the Greek words ‘lipos’ meaning fat and ‘soma’ meaning body.
This root word captures the essence of liposome properties, where they form a protective vesicle that resembles a body.
How does liposome technology work?
The technology is based on small lipid vesicles, whose component lecithin is also naturally present in the membranes of our cells. This allows a safely encapsulated substance to be digested and released into the bloodstream where it can do its full work.
1. encapsulation
The nutrient is encapsulated in liposomes
2. protection & transport
Liposomes protect and transport the nutrient into the body’s cells
3. Improved Absorption
LIPOSOMAL FORMULATIONS ENSURE BETTER ABSORPTION OF THE NUTRIENT
Why do we use liposomal formulations?
Like our own human cells, LIPOSOMES are made up of phospholipids. We use this property to encapsulate all natural ingredients within liposomal membranes. Overall, liposomes offer a versatile and effective approach to supplement delivery, potentially improving the absorption, stability, and therapeutic benefits of various nutrients and compounds. However, it’s important to note that the effectiveness of liposomal supplements may vary depending on the specific formulation and the intended use.
Conventional food supplements are difficult to absorb in the intestine, especially due to their poor solubility and degradation in the stomach. In contrast, our BIOSOMO LIPOSOMAL LIQUIDS effectively and efficiently transports the active ingredients to the cells and the bloodstream.
ENHANCED BIOAVAILABILITY
Liposomes can encapsulate and protect sensitive or poorly absorbed compounds, such as certain vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. This protection allows for improved absorption in the digestive system, increasing the bioavailability of these nutrients.
TARGETED DELIVERY
Liposomes can be engineered to target specific cells or tissues within the body. This targeted delivery system ensures that the supplement’s active ingredients reach their intended destination, potentially increasing their effectiveness while reducing side effects.
PROTECTION FROM DEGRADATION
Liposomal encapsulation can protect supplements from environmental factors, such as oxygen and light, which can lead to the degradation of sensitive compounds. This preservation of potency is especially important for vitamins and antioxidants.
CUSTOMIZED FORMULATIONS
Liposomal technology allows for the customization of supplement formulations, tailoring them to specific health needs and goals.
CONTROLLED RELEASE
Liposomes can be engineered to release their contents gradually, providing a sustained release of nutrients over time. This controlled release can help maintain a steady level of nutrients in the bloodstream.
