Description of Liposome Iron:

Liposomal Iron is an innovative iron supplement that utilizes liposomes as a carrier. Liposomes consist of a phospholipid bilayer that encapsulates iron and other micronutrients for efficient intracellular delivery via endocytosis. Liposomal iron has higher absorption and bioavailability than conventional iron preparations, reducing gastrointestinal irritation. Its phospholipid bilayer structure fuses with cell membranes to deliver iron ions directly into cells, preventing oxidation and maintaining iron stability. Liposomal iron is a safe and effective form of iron supplementation for people who need efficient iron absorption.

Function of liposomal iron:

• Protective: Liposomes are able to encapsulate iron salts, such as iron pyrophosphate, to form a spherical structure similar to human cell membranes. This structure is able to cross the gastric acid barrier and protects iron from early degradation or inactivation, thus improving iron stability and availability.
• High absorption: In the intestine, liposomal iron can be absorbed directly through M cells without the need for specific transport proteins. The liposome structure allows iron to enter the hepatocytes directly, improving iron bioavailability.
• Reduced Side Effects: The protective effect of liposomes reduces the instability of iron in the gastrointestinal tract, decreasing gastrointestinal side effects such as stomach upset and constipation that are common with traditional iron supplements.
• High Bioavailability: Liposomal iron pyrophosphate is significantly more bioavailable than other forms of iron, such as free iron pyrophosphate and iron sulfate, by 3.5 and 2.7 times, respectively.
