Liposomes
Liposomes are small artificial spherical vesicles that are widely used as carriers for many molecules in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. The word liposome derives from two Greek words: lipo, which means fat and soma, body. It is so-called because its composition is mainly made of phospholipids.
The properties of liposomes differ considerably in lipid composition, loading, size, and method of preparation. They are most often made of natural, non-toxic phospholipids, especially phosphatidylcholine, but may also include other lipids, such as egg phosphatidylethanolamine. It is common for liposomes to contain a basic aqueous solution.
The use of liposome encapsulation for the increase of the administration systems that may cover the unstable compounds (antimicrobials, antioxidants, flavors, and bioactive elements), to protect their functionality, has been widely studied in food and agricultural industries.
One ProHumano+ HepatoDefense capsule contains 360 mg of PHOSPHOcomplex™, an innovative formula that combines the beneficial effects of silybin with those of phosphatidylcholine, which is part of the class of essential phospholipids.
