What is a Liposome?

At its core, a liposome is a microscopic, spherical "vehicle" composed of a phospholipid bilayer—the exact same material that makes up your own cell membranes. At Liv Nutrition, we use advanced high-pressure homogenization to encapsulate high-potency nutrients (like NAD+ and Glutathione) inside these lipid spheres.

By mimicking the body's own cellular structure, our liposomes act as a "Trojan Horse," shielding the nutrients from the harsh acidic environment of the digestive tract and delivering them directly into the bloodstream.

Proven Absorption: Beyond the Capsule

Standard supplements rely on passive diffusion, where the majority of the nutrient is destroyed by stomach acid or filtered out by the liver. Liposomal delivery is clinically proven as a superior method for several reasons:

Bypassing the "First-Pass" Effect: Our liposomes are absorbed through the lymphatic system in the gut, bypassing the liver's initial filtration, which leads to significantly higher plasma levels of the active ingredient.

Intracellular Delivery: Because the liposome is made of phospholipids, it doesn't just "drop off" the nutrient in the blood; it fuses with the cell membrane, releasing the nutrient payload directly into the cell where it is needed most.

Sustained Release: Data indicates that liposomal variants maintain elevated nutrient levels in the bloodstream for a longer duration compared to traditional powders or pills, reducing oxidative stress more effectively over time.

Validation through Precision: TEM & DLS

We don't just claim our products are liposomal; we validate every batch using the two gold standards of nanotechnology:

1. TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy)

While regular microscopes are limited by light, TEM uses an electron beam to visualize our liposomes at the nano-scale. This "super-microscope" allows us to confirm the physical integrity of the spheres, ensuring the active ingredients are perfectly encapsulated within the lipid shield.

2. DLS (Dynamic Light Scattering)

Individual images can be misleading. To ensure the quality of the entire bottle, we use DLS to measure Particle Distribution. This ensures that 90%+ of our particles fall within the "Sweet Spot" (nanometer range) for maximum absorption. This comprehensive approach guarantees that every teaspoon of Liv Nutrition provides consistent, pharmaceutical-grade delivery.

The Benefits at a Glance

• 90%+ Encapsulation Efficiency: We ensure the nutrient is inside the bubble, not just mixed with fat.
• Enhanced Bioavailability: Up to 10x more effective than standard oral supplements.
• Reduced Gastric Distress: Nutrients like Creatine and Vitamin C are shielded, preventing the bloating and "stomach upset" common with powders.
• Cellular Precision: Direct-to-cell delivery for immediate performance and recovery.

The Liv Difference

While others sell supplements, we sell delivery. By combining 8th-generation liposomal technology with clinically validated testing (TEM & DLS), Liv Nutrition ensures that your body actually uses what you put into it. Better absorption isn't just a goal—it's a scientific requirement.
