To understand what a liposome is, it’s helpful to look at its Greek roots. In Greek “lipos” means fat and “soma” means body. Thus, the term liposome can be understood as a body (or bubble) of fat.

 

In the 1970s British scientists discovered that liposomes — microscopic little bubbles of fatty tissue — are highly effective molecular transporters for various actives.

 

Needless to say, liposomal science has come a long way in the past 50 years. In fact, for a variety of reasons, this technology has been primarily used as a drug delivery system. Until Vitasome™.

 

We believe that our Vitasome™ liposomal technology is ideal for nutraceutical applications, increasing bioavailability and facilitating sustained release of important nutrients on a cellular level.
