In liposomal formulations, the active ingredient molecules are encapsulated within lipids and can thus can be better absorbed through the intestinal walls and into cells. As a result, these formulations achieve higher availability than conventional powders, capsules or tablets. The liposomes in this water-soluble formula are significantly smaller than 500nm, offering high stability and effective absorption in the digestive tract.
In order to offer a genuine liposomal formulation with excellent availability, a certain ratio of active ingredient to phospholipids must be achieved; otherwise only emulsions are present, which offer no advantage. This product provides a a genuinely liposomal formulation with the highest possible concentration of quercetin to phospholipids (lecithins). We use a 100% natural, completely plant-based extract derived via food-grade ethanol extraction of the flowers of the Japanese pagoda tree (Sophora japonica). The phospholipids for our liposomal formulation come from pure sunflower lecithin – not soya lecithin – from sunflowers grown exclusively in the EU, predominantly Germany.
To achieve an effective liposomal formula with a high bioavailability, the product is stabilised exclusively with plant-based glycerol; natural malic acid produced by fermentation and rosemary extract also prevent oxidation, completely eliminating the use of citric acid. The product is bottled in light-protected and environmentally friendly amber glass instead of plastic, under the exclusion of oxygen.
