LIPO SOMAL SUPP LEMENT S: without involvement of the digestive system, which means lower nutrient dose liposomally-delivered,

In time, the body naturally produces liposomes around ingested nutrients using phosphatidylcholine. The body also ‘sees’ liposomes as an end result of a successful digestive process. Therefore, the liposome (with its nutrient content) bypasses digestive breakdown, instead passing through the colon wall intact, into the bloodstream.

Providing nutrients within liposomes greatly may be equivalent in effect to a much higher dose method Excellent Delivery conventionally-delivered (by tablet/capsule). For some nutrients, ordinary, traditional, nonliposomal products generally have low absorption and bioavailability—this fact is clinically welldocumented. Liposome science allows improved nutrient absorption and higher bioavailability, and, like other liposomal products, dry liposomal powder products, allow this enhanced bioavailability. for Nutrients Liposomal delivery is particularly useful for nutrients such as vitamin C, magnesium, glutathione and curcumin. The primary advantage of Registered nutritionist Rose Holmes explores liposomal supplements is delivery of larger doses liposomal supplements… direct to cells. In the case of vitamin C, this
