One of the downsides of the conventional vitamins you take in capsules is that they are naturally degraded. And not only during transport in the body, but immediately after you buy them.
In fact, the path from production to consumption is quite long. The active ingredients are subject to natural degradation most often caused by oxygen, light or temperature.
In the case of liposomal vitamins, this is prevented by a lipid layer that encapsulates the nutrients and protects them from degradation.
The protective layer ensures that the vitamin passes through the digestive system without being damaged by various juices and acids. The undamaged liposome is then transported to the cells that need it most.
Vitamins and minerals encapsulated in liposomes can be absorbed by the body very easily. The absorption of such ingredients increases to more than 90%.
In contrast, no more than 20% of conventional vitamins can be absorbed. For some minerals it is only 3 to 5 %.
When it comes to absorption, we should also point out that common supplements enter the liver, where they are metabolized, and only then enter the bloodstream.
However, liposomal vitamins and minerals are absorbed via the lymphatic system, where they pass directly into the bloodstream through the thoracic lymphatic duct.
The active molecules are transported directly into the cellular processes, where they are needed in large quantities.
Bioavailability - the extent to which the body can use nutrients at the cellular level - is much higher for liposomal vitamins, namely 8 to 50 times higher than that of conventional vitamins and other conventional supplements (depending on the type), which are sold as tablets and capsules.
Thanks to their miniature nano size, liposomal vitamins reach every cell in the body. They even penetrate the blood-brain barrier that protects the brain.
The role of the barrier is to isolate nervous system tissue from the underlying blood flow that supplies the entire body.
It protects it against bacteria and toxins, but also makes it more difficult for common drugs, vitamins and minerals to enter the brain.
However, liposomally modified products can also penetrate the brain effectively because they are extremely small. And the smaller the liposome, the more stable it is, which means that it can better penetrate all tissues.
