How it works: liposomal technology

A supplement only has value if your body can absorb the active substances well. That is why we use liposomal technology in several Purovitalis products. This method helps protect ingredients during digestion and can support absorption.

Ce este tehnologia lipozomală?

Liposomes are microscopically small spheres of fat-like substances that also occur in our own body cells. Active ingredients are packed inside these spheres. The liposome forms a protective layer around the nutrient.

That is especially interesting for ingredients that are less stable, or that are naturally harder to absorb.

How does it work?

After intake, a regular supplement meets stomach acid and digestive enzymes. Part of the ingredient can be lost before it reaches the small intestine. With a liposomal supplement, the protective layer helps keep the ingredient intact along this route.

  1. 1

    Encapsulate

    The active ingredient is enclosed in a liposome: a sphere of fat-like substances of the same kind that build our own cell membranes.

  2. 2

    Protect

    The protective layer helps keep the ingredient intact through stomach acid and digestive enzymes, where part of a regular supplement can be lost.

  3. 3

    Absorb

    In the small intestine the fat-like structure lets the nutrient spread well, so it is better available for absorption.

What does that give you?

Bioavailability

How much of an ingredient your body can actually absorb and use.

The amount on the label does not tell the whole story. In the end, what counts is how much of an ingredient your body can absorb and use. We call this bioavailability.

Research shows that certain liposomal formulations can be absorbed better than regular variants. How big the difference is depends on the ingredient and on the quality of the product.

Why do we use liposomal technology?

We choose liposomal technology when it adds value for the protection and absorption of an ingredient. That way you choose a supplement where not only the dose, but also the way the ingredient is delivered, has been decided with care. Liposomal technology is one part of quality. Pure ingredients, an appropriate dose, European production and independent checks matter at least as much. So you know better what you are choosing.

These formulas use a liposomal layer because it adds value for the ingredient inside.

Frequently asked questions

Substanțele active sunt încapsulate în sfere de grăsime de dimensiuni microscopice, numite lipozomi. Acestea seamănă cu membranele celulelor din propriul nostru organism.

Lipozomul contribuie la protejarea ingredientului în timpul digestiei și îmbunătățește disponibilitatea acestuia pentru absorbție.

Folosim această tehnologie atunci când aceasta contribuie la stabilitatea, protecția și absorbția unui ingredient.

No. How big the difference is depends on the ingredient and on the quality of the product. The word alone is no guarantee, which is why every batch is tested independently.
