How can liposomal delivery be offered in capsule form?Updated 14 days ago

Codeage offers liposomal formulas in capsule form by first creating a liposomal structure in a liquid phase and then carefully converting it into a dry, stable powder that can be encapsulated. This approach is part of our proprietary Codeage Helix Liposomal Delivery, which uses a phospholipid complex as the basis for the liposomal matrix.

What is a liposome?

Liposomes are tiny spherical structures made from phospholipids arranged in bilayers. These are the same types of molecules that make up human cell membranes. In a liquid environment, phospholipids can organize themselves into these bilayer “bubbles,” which are then used to hold and carry select ingredients within a formulation.

From liquid liposome to dry powder

To offer liposomal delivery in a capsule rather than a liquid, the process generally follows these steps:

  • 1. Liposomal formation: Phospholipids are combined with the selected ingredients in a liquid medium. Under controlled conditions, the phospholipids arrange into bilayer structures (liposomes) around the ingredients.
  • 2. Stabilization: The liquid liposomal dispersion is prepared for drying using processing parameters designed to maintain the structural integrity of the liposomal matrix as much as possible.
  • 3. Freeze-drying (lyophilization): The liposomal liquid is frozen and then dried under very low pressure to remove water. This process produces a dry liposomal powder while helping to preserve the phospholipid-based structures in a solid state.
  • 4. Encapsulation: The resulting liposomal powder is then filled into capsules in a GMP-certified facility, creating a solid liposomal supplement instead of a liquid one.

How Codeage Helix Liposomal Delivery fits in

Codeage Helix Liposomal Delivery refers to the way we design and use phospholipid complexes within certain formulas. The goal is to:

  • Utilize a phospholipid-based matrix to organize selected ingredients within a liposomal-style environment.
  • Convert this matrix into a dry, capsule-ready format through freeze-drying and careful handling.
  • Provide a capsule form that is convenient to store, ship, and use, while maintaining the liposomal design concept from the original liquid phase.

When the capsule is swallowed and the powder comes into contact with fluids in the digestive tract, the phospholipids may re-disperse and interact with water again. This step is part of how a dry liposomal formulation is intended to function once it leaves the capsule.

Why not just use liquid liposomes?

Offering liposomal formulas in a dry capsule format can provide practical advantages such as:

  • Improved handling and portability compared to bottled liquids.
  • No need for liquid preservatives or flavor systems.
  • A format that can be easier to integrate into a daily capsule-based routine.

It is important to note that, as with any supplement, product design and processing methods may evolve over time. When formulas or formats are updated, the Supplement Facts and product details are revised to reflect the current version.
