What are liposomal supplements?
You've probably heard of liposomal supplements, but do you know what they actually are? Liposomal supplements are supplements that are surrounded by a layer of fat, also known as a liposome. This liposome protects the active ingredients in the supplement from degradation by stomach acid and enzymes in the gut. This means that the active ingredients can be better absorbed by the body. This ensures that the body can truly benefit from the benefits that supplements offer. The term "expensive urine" must come from somewhere. Liposomal supplements are almost 10 times better absorbed than regular supplements.
How do liposomal supplements work then?
A liposome is a small, fatty ball that consists of two layers of phospholipids. Phospholipids are molecules that consist of a water-soluble head and a fat-soluble tail. The water-soluble head of the liposome is facing the environment, while the fat-soluble tail is facing inwards. This allows the liposome to absorb water and fat. In liposomal supplements, the active ingredients, such as vitamins, minerals, or medications, are dissolved in the fat of the liposome. This protects them from degradation and makes them easier to be absorbed by the cell wall of the intestinal cells.
What are the benefits of liposomal supplements?
Liposomal supplements have many benefits over regular supplements. Here is a list of the biggest benefits:
- They are better absorbed by the body.
- They have a higher bioavailability.
- They are not prematurely broken down in the gastrointestinal tract.
- They are less stressful on the stomach and intestines.
Application of liposomal supplements
Liposomal supplements are available in different forms and dosages. They can be taken in the form of capsules, powders, or as a liquid. At VROVIT, we have chosen to encapsulate the liposomal powders. The advantage of powders over liquid liposomes is primarily the stability of the product. Since liposomes are very sensitive, it goes with that when the bottle is opened, the effect already deteriorates, you then have to consume it as soon as possible if you want to benefit from the benefits of the liposomal technology.
Liposomal supplements are suitable for anyone looking for a high-quality supplement with a high bioavailability. They are especially suitable for people who:
- Choose quality;
- Have a deficiency in certain nutrients;
- Take medications that can interfere with the absorption of nutrients;
- Have stomach or digestive problems.
All in all, you can well say that Liposomal supplements are a good choice for those looking for a high-quality, well-absorbed supplement. They are often slightly more expensive to purchase, but because they are better absorbed and you therefore need a lower dosage.
Are you also convinced of the power of liposomes? Here are some tips for choosing the right liposomal supplements:
- Pay attention to the ingredient list. If it is about real liposomes, this should be mentioned in the ingredient list as phospholipids. Also see if you can find anything about the ingredient supplier. VROVIT, for example, has chosen Lipo Science Laboratory, as they invest heavily in proven quality.
- Liposomes in tablet form are not good. Due to the force of the mechanical process in which powders are beaten into tablets, the liposomes are damaged.
- Choose supplements that are manufactured using a reliable technique.
- Read the dosage carefully and follow the recommended intake.
- Always contact an expert if you have any questions.
