There are countless ways to develop micronutrient supplements – we've chosen a better one.

The market for vitamins, minerals and plant compounds is huge – but we are setting new standards. Instead of simply supplying active ingredients, we make sure they are optimally absorbed by the body.

Our solution: liposomes.

‘Liposomes are revolutionising the bioavailability of micronutrients. This innovative technology offers a clear advantage over conventional dosage forms.’

Structure

Liposomes are tiny vesicles made of phospholipids – the same building blocks that make up the cell membranes in our body. Cell membranes are responsible for transporting substances into and out of the cell.

Liposomal technology makes use of this structure by packaging nutrients such as vitamins, minerals or plant-based active ingredients in a shell. The term "liposomal" therefore refers to the encapsulation of active ingredients in a protective shell containing phospholipids.

Protection in the digestive tract

Liposomes offer a crucial advantage in the digestive tract: they protect sensitive nutrients from being broken down in the stomach and intestines. The phospholipid-based shell forms a stable barrier that keeps the active ingredients intact until they reach the intestinal wall.

This is why liposomal technology is an effective way of delivering nutrients and medicines into the body in a targeted way, with nothing lost in transit.

Increased cellular uptake

Once they reach their destination, the liposomes fuse directly with the cells thanks to their structure, which is similar to that of the cell membrane. This allows the nutrients to be released in a targeted way.

Liposomal technology ensures that substances are absorbed faster, more effectively and more gently. This significantly increases bioavailability.

‘Liposomes protect micronutrients on their journey through the body and enable a precise, gentle release of vitamins, minerals and plant compounds – for more efficient health support without putting a strain on the digestive system.’

Benefits of liposomes.

At a glance:

Improved bioavailability.

Nutrients are absorbed up to 64 times better than with conventional food supplements.

Nutrient protection.

Vitamins and minerals remain active because they are protected by the fat membrane.

Gentle on the stomach.

Liposomes prevent direct contact with the stomach lining, which can help avoid stomach irritation.

Slower release.

The active ingredients are released gradually, which prolongs their effect.

Conventional vs liposomal food supplements

With conventional food supplements, a large proportion of the nutrients is broken down in the stomach and intestines before it reaches the bloodstream. As a result, often only a small amount is available to the body.

Frequently asked questions

Liposomal: Significantly higher bioavailability through direct uptake into the cells.
Conventional: Lower absorption, as some of the nutrients are broken down in the digestive tract.
