Results of research on liposomes

Liposomes are water-lipid structures in which various substances, for example vitamins, can be included and then delivered to the cells of the human body. The effectiveness of orally administered liposomes includes, among others: on their reaching the intestine, where they are absorbed, and on the similarity of their structure to the structure of the intestinal cell membrane (which facilitates the penetration of the active substance contained in them).

However, before liposomes reach the intestine, they pass through the stomach, where they undergo unfavorable changes. According to the data in the literature, the average residence time of the contents in the stomach is from 2 to 4 hours. During this time, the liposomes aggregate (combine with each other to form large clusters. Increasing the size of the liposomes makes it difficult for them to move further into the intestine). (1,2,3,4). Considering the above data, it was important to improve the stability of liposomes and protect them against the adverse effects of the stomach environment.

That is why LIPOCAPS C 1000 was created - an innovative, dry form of liposome:

1. Enclosed in an acid-resistant extended-release capsule. Studies have confirmed that the capsule contained in LIPOCAPS C 1000 protects the liposomes for up to 4 hours against the unfavorable environment of the stomach. Other capsules would disintegrate very quickly, releasing the liposomes from there and exposing them to change.
2. Stable in the stomach environment Stability tests also included liposomal vitamin C in gel, liquid, and other commercially available liposomes in a "standard" capsule. According to the study, the last mentioned product is not liposomal (as it did not create liposomal structures), while the gel and liquid forms showed a lack of stability in the stomach environment. The initial sizes of the liposomes* (blue) have increased (red), indicating their aggregation.* There are liposomes of different sizes in one product.
