A research-backed delivery platform for improved nutrient protection, formulation versatility and product differentiation
Liposomal delivery technology is designed to improve the absorption, stability, solubility and bioavailability of nutraceutical active ingredients. It is particularly relevant for healthcare and supplement formulations where effective nutrient delivery, reliable product performance and consumer confidence are important.
During liposomal encapsulation, active ingredients are incorporated into lipid-based vesicles. These structures can help protect sensitive nutrients against degradation caused by oxidation, digestive enzymes and other environmental factors. They may also support more efficient transport within the body, helping to maintain ingredient potency and improve uptake.
Another important advantage is the potential to improve the dispersibility, solubility and formulation compatibility of selected active ingredients in aqueous and lipid-based systems. This can help address common challenges associated with ingredients that are poorly absorbed, unstable or difficult to incorporate into finished products.
By supporting improved ingredient protection, stability and delivery, liposomal technology can enable the development of nutraceutical products with greater formulation consistency and flexibility. For selected active ingredients, improved delivery may also enable effective formulations at lower dosage levels than conventional powder formats.
For the Nordic industry, ww offer a range of nutraceutical active ingredients based on liposomal delivery technology,* including:
- Botanicals and functional ingredients: andrographis, ashwagandha, berberine, boswellia, caffeine, coenzyme Q10, curcumin, glutathione, quercetin, resveratrol and shilajit
- Minerals: iron as ferric pyrophosphate, magnesium and zinc
- Vitamins: vitamin C in selected concentrations
For healthcare and nutraceutical brands, liposomal encapsulation provides a technology-led formulation advantage that can support product differentiation and stronger positioning within premium supplement concepts.
*Supported by peer-reviewed research evaluating the formulation approach, physicochemical characteristics and in-vitro performance of the delivery platform using selected nutraceutical active ingredients.
