Liposomes have been used as an effective means of delivery allowing for more efficient absorption and delivery of both hydrophilic and lipophilic substances and greater protection against oxidation and degradation. Liposomes are lipid vesicles made of phospholipids strung together to form a double membrane. Liposomes can enclose different substances including botanical extracts and nutraceutical ingredients.
Botanicals (like boswellia, curcumin etc.,) and Nutraceutical ingredients (like glutathione, vitamins and minerals et.,) are incorporated into liposomes which do not provoke undesirable toxic or immune responses and are not inactivated by biological surroundings.
Advantages of Liposomal delivery
• High bioavailability and absorption compared with other oral forms of supplements.
• Protects against the harsh environment of the GI tract and increases transmucosal (oral) uptake and absorption.
• Can hold both hydrophilic and hydrophobic compounds.
Botanic Healthcare has also been transformed by the liposomal revolution. This innovative technology developed by Botanic Healthcare optimizes the movement of vitamins, minerals and botanical extracts into human cells and maximizes the absorption of supplements in the body.
Many Vitamins (vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin K, vitamin E etc.,) and minerals (like iron, magnesium, zinc, calcium etc.,), when consumed their concentration in the blood is often too low to have a significant impact on our health. For instance, vitamin C commonly found in supplements, but it’s not well absorbed in the intestine due to factors such as digestive system conditions and solubility. To address this issue, liposomal technology has been used to develop powerful antioxidants such as liposomal vitamin C. Studies on liposomal vitamins, such as vitamin C have shown promising results especially for people suffering from severe vitamin deficiencies or absorption problems.
The application of liposome technology in the field of nutrition and supplements has emerged as a solution to the problem of low absorption rates and bioavailability of traditional tablets and capsules. Clinical studies have long documented the poor oral bioavailability and absorption of many nutrients.
We subject all our Liposomal ingredients to Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Cryo-TEM analysis which is needed to evaluate morphology and architecture of liposomes.
