Liposomes are tiny man-made bubbles made from the same materials as our cell membranes. They are typically created with two layers of phospholipids.

They are used as tiny little delivery vehicles for compounds such as drugs, nutrients and vitamins, since our bodies recognize the liposomes as being made of the same stuff as our cells and won’t reject or destroy them even by stomach acid. By putting the compounds inside the liposome bubbles, our bodies can absorb up to 15 times more of whatever is carried inside.
