Liposome is a very small sphere composed of two layers of phospholipids (produced from lecithin), inside which is an active substance (vitamin, mineral, etc.). In this form, the supplement passes through the stomach unaffected by its aggressive environment and is absorbed in the small intestine. Liposomal technology therefore allows for a significantly higher level of absorption of the substance and its transport into cells, making it highly effective in this regard.
Liposomes boast a high degree of usability and the advantages and disadvantages derived from it. Given the high level of bioavailability of active substances bound to liposomal technology, a certain degree of caution in dosing is reasonable, as there is theoretically a risk of overdose with improper handling. This means one should adhere to the dosage recommended by the manufacturer, without unnecessarily exceeding it (more does not necessarily mean better).
