About Liposomal Supplements

Liposomal supplements have gained significant attention for their innovative delivery system, designed to help optimise nutrient absorption. By encapsulating vitamins and nutrients within phospholipid liposomes, they can help protect ingredients as they pass through the digestive system, supporting improved bioavailability for certain nutrients. 

Research suggests that liposomal delivery may enhance the absorption of nutrients that are typically less efficiently absorbed in conventional forms. Depending on the nutrient and formulation, some people also find liposomal supplements gentler on the digestive system compared with traditional alternatives. 

What is Liposomal?  

A liposome is a tiny, microscopic vesicle made of phospholipids: the exact same building blocks that form human cell membranes.

Acting as a protective, spherical bubble, it encases active ingredients like vitamins and nutrients to shield them from harsh stomach acids.

Because it mimics your body's natural structure, a liposome safely transports these nutrients through the digestive system, into the bloodstream, and merges directly with your cell membranes to deliver the ingredients straight into your cells. 

How are Liposomal Supplements Different?  

In comparison to regular tablets or capsule supplements, Liposomal supplements offer several useful advantages:  

  • Superb absorption: Liposomal supplements can be absorbed into your bloodstream faster and more effectively due to their enhanced delivery system that can resist the harsh acids in your digestive system. 
  • Longer shelf life: The stronger barriers protect against active ingredients like air and light, and the elimination of water in the supplements prevents the breakdown and early spoiling of the fat-like bubble structures. 
  • Digestive benefits: The outer lipid shell stops active ingredients from directly touching the stomach lining, which provides stomach protection and reduces bowel irritation. 

What Are The Best Vitamins To Take In Liposomal form? 

Vitamin C: As Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that is difficult to absorb in high doses, the liposomal form can improve uptake and prevent stomach upset that can often result from high-dose Vitamin C tablets or capsules. 

Vitamin D3: Liposomal delivery of Vitamin D3 improves its solubility and bioavailability, ensuring that more of the nutrient reaches the bloodstream and is utilised by the body. A convenient way to maintain optimal Vitamin D3 levels.  

Curcumin (Turmeric): Typically, poorly absorbed within water, taking curcumin in liposomal form can massively increase its absorption and, in turn, bioavailability.  

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Taking Liposomal Supplements 

Liposomal supplements can be so beneficial for their fast absorption and digestive benefits. Here are some common mistakes to avoid to ensure you are getting all the great benefits from taking liposomal supplements:  

  • Taking supplements alongside hot liquids 
  • Taken alongside heavy meals, which can reduce absorption  
  • Ignoring storage instructions, which can destabilise the liposomes  
  • Exceeding the recommended dosage (unless advised to do so by a healthcare professional)  

Frequently Asked Questions

How to Take Liposomal Supplements?  

Liposomal supplements are typically best taken on an empty stomach, 15-20 minutes before a meal to ensure optimal absorption and minimise interference with food. 
In terms of dosages, it is important to always follow the recommendations on the specific supplement you are taking. An example of a typical recommended dosage for Liposomal Vitamin C is 500–1,000 mg of active vitamin C, often taken once or twice daily, preferably 30 minutes before meals. Smaller dosages typically achieve the best results, compared to standard vitamins.  
For storage, Liposomal supplements should be stored in a cool, dark place, away from sunlight and heat.  

WHO SHOULD AVOID TAKING LIPOSOMAL SUPPLEMENTS?  

Those with kidney disease, blood disorders or specific allergies should generally avoid taking Liposomal supplements unless advised otherwise by a healthcare professional. Those on blood thinners or specific heart medications should be cautious when taking Liposomal supplements. Pregnant or nursing women and children under four should only take Liposomal supplements under strict medical supervision. It is essential to consult a healthcare professional before beginning to take Liposomal supplements.  
 

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS TO TAKING LIPOSOMAL SUPPLEMENTS?  

Whilst Liposomal supplements are generally considered safe to take, as with any supplement, there are potential risks to be aware of, such as:  

  • Muscle pain and headaches 
  • Fatigue and sleep disturbances  
  • Specific Liposomal supplements can cause side effects, for example, vitamin C liposomal supplements can cause nausea, vomiting, cramps, heartburn and headaches.
