Liposomal vitamins are a type of supplement where the vitamins are encased in tiny, fat-like particles called liposomes. These liposomes protect the vitamins from being broken down by stomach acid, allowing more of the nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream.

Liposomal supplements are generally better at getting nutrients into your body than standard supplements. Traditional supplements can lose a lot of their nutrients during digestion, but liposomal supplements protect the nutrients with tiny spheres called liposomes. This protection helps more nutrients get into your bloodstream and reach your cells.

To get the best results from liposomal supplements, follow these general guidelines; note, though, that each different supplement will have different instructions. For most supplements, it's effective to take them on an empty stomach or at least 20 minutes before eating to improve absorption. If you're using liquid forms, hold the liquid in your mouth for a moment before swallowing. For capsules and soft gels, take them with meals as directed.
