True progress lies in improving how these actives behave; how they remain stable, survive processing, and are effectively absorbed by the human body. Liposoma has spent decades advancing the science of lipid-based delivery systems that address exactly these challenges. Its liposomal and lipid-matrix technologies are now enabling formulators to turn proven actives into truly high-performance ingredients.
The formulation bottleneck: stability and absorption
Many promising nutrients and bioactives from, vitamins and minerals to botanical extracts, lose activity during processing or degrade before they can be absorbed. Others show poor solubility or low bioavailability, meaning much of the dose never reaches the bloodstream. Traditional encapsulation or emulsification methods only offer partial solutions.
Lipid encapsulation: protection and absorption
Liposoma’s liposomal systems go further. By surrounding actives with protective phospholipid membranes, these carriers mimic the body’s own cell structures, creating a natural and efficient vehicle for nutrient transport. This dual benefit, protection and absorption, turns even fragile molecules into stable, functional ingredients that deliver measurable results.
From concept to application
Unlike conventional coating or granulation, lipid encapsulation creates micro- or nano-sized vesicles that are both physically stable and biologically compatible. The lipid bilayer shields sensitive compounds from oxidation, heat, and light while also enhancing their solubility in biological membranes. As a result, active ingredients such as vitamin D3, coenzyme Q10, and curcumin analogues show higher uptake and longer retention compared to standard formulations.
Scientific control and scalable production
Behind every Liposoma formulation lies a foundation of more than 40 years of academic research in phospholipid chemistry and liposome technology. Each product is developed and tested using advanced analytical tools such as dynamic light scattering, encapsulation efficiency measurements, and stability profiling. This ensures reproducibility and product integrity, qualities that are often missing in lower-grade encapsulation systems.
Manufacturing takes place in Liposoma’s facilities in Almere and its partners’ facilities, under strict quality management systems for both food- and research-grade production. These facilities provide flexibility from pilot-scale R&D projects to full-scale commercial batches, enabling clients to translate laboratory results into consistent, market-ready formulations.
Expanding applications across industries
The benefits of lipid encapsulation extend far beyond traditional nutraceuticals. In medical nutrition, it allows sensitive actives such as iron or folate to be delivered in forms that are gentle on the stomach yet highly bioavailable. In sports and energy products, it supports sustained nutrient release and faster recovery through improved absorption of compounds like L-carnitine or B-vitamins. Meanwhile, functional food manufacturers value the powders for their compatibility with dry blends and instant formulations, without affecting taste or texture.
Liposoma also partners with pharmaceutical, veterinary, and cosmetic developers, who apply its encapsulation systems in topical and parenteral formulations, further demonstrating the adaptability of its lipid-based technologies.
A new standard for ingredient performance
As consumers grow more discerning and regulatory expectations tighten, the market is shifting toward evidence-based, bioavailable, and stable formulations. Liposoma’s encapsulation technologies answer this need by combining scientific precision with practical scalability. They help brand owners achieve real differentiation, not only through marketing claims, but through demonstrable performance supported by analytical data.
In the coming years, lipid carriers will play a central role in the next generation of functional ingredients. By perfecting the balance between stability, absorption, and formulation flexibility, Liposoma is redefining what ingredient performance means and helping its partners turn scientific potential into tangible market success.
