Bioavailability is the degree to which nutrients are available for absorption and utilization in the body. Nobody absorbs 100% of all nutrients consumed, due to bioavailability issues. Traditional powdered nutrients are just absorption into the blood, not enhanced uptake inside the cells, as with liposomes. Liposomal absorption is quite different from intestinal absorption. Liposomes predominately get taken up by the lymphatic system in the gut, not the portal circulation.

The uniqueness of Liposomal vitamins is it’s in a liposomal form. Liposomes are bilayer (double-layer), liquid-filled bubbles made from phospholipids. Researchers discovered that these spheres could be filled with nutrients and used to protect and deliver these agents into the body and even into specific cells. The cell membranes that surround each of the cells in the human body have nearly identical bilayer structure. The liposome attaches itself to the phospholipid on your cell and delivers the nutrient directly into the cell.

Since liposomes can help the nutrient gain entry across your gut membrane to its target organs and cells, more liposomes could lead to an increased rate of absorption.
