Liposomal technology is a relatively new concept for many complementary healthcare practitioners despite their discovery in the 1960s by Alec D. Bangham.1,2 Since then they have been studied extensively and have been adopted as an advanced phospholipid-based delivery system for nutrients and drugs, and are now the most commonly used nanocarrier.1,3

The unique properties of liposomes, including high biocompatibility and biodegradability, low immunogenicity, non-toxic properties, and the ability to protect and transport both hydrophobic (fat-soluble) and hydrophilic (water-soluble) molecules through the GI tract (overcoming breakdown and metabolism) allows liposomes to deliver their cargo directly to cells.1-4
