In the world of advanced supplement delivery systems, achieving optimal absorption of bioactive compounds is a critical challenge. While liposomes and micelles have been widely used to improve bioavailability, SoluSmart®'s multilamellar vesicles surpass both in efficiency, stability, and absorption. This innovative, patented technology ensures that your body receives the full benefits of vital nutrients with unprecedented effectiveness.

Structural Superiority of Multilamellar Vesicles

SoluSmart®'s multilamellar vesicles are microscopic, onion-like structures composed of multiple phospholipid layers. These layers closely mimic the structure of human cell membranes, allowing for seamless integration and enhanced absorption.

By contrast, micelles are single-layered, hydrophobic core structures that are limited in their ability to transport a wide range of compounds efficiently. Liposomes, though composed of phospholipid bilayers, are structurally weaker than multilamellar vesicles, making them prone to degradation before reaching target cells.

SoluSmart®'s multilamellar vesicles provide:

  • Higher encapsulation efficiency due to multiple layers that protect bioactive compounds from degradation.
  • Greater stability compared to micelles and traditional liposomes, ensuring active ingredients remain intact.
  • Improved absorption through cell membrane fusion, directly delivering nutrients into the bloodstream and target cells.

Why Does SoluSmart® Have Unparalleled Stability and Absorption?

One of the biggest challenges in supplement efficacy is ensuring that active compounds survive the harsh gastrointestinal environment. Unlike micelles and liposomes, SoluSmart®'s multilamellar vesicles provide a superior protective barrier against stomach acids and digestive enzymes.

This unique structure allows for:

  • Enhanced gut absorption, as the vesicles are structurally identical to cell membranes, increasing recognition and uptake by intestinal cells.
  • Direct fusion with target cells, ensuring rapid and efficient delivery of nutrients where they are needed most.
  • Longer-lasting stability, preventing premature breakdown and loss of potency before absorption.

SoluSmart® vs. Liposomes and Micelles

Feature SoluSmart® Multilamellar Vesicles Liposomes Micelles
Structure Multi-layered phospholipid vesicles Single or double phospholipid bilayer Single-layer hydrophobic core
Stability High (resistant to digestion & degradation) Moderate (prone to oxidation & breakdown) Low (unstable in varying pH conditions)
Absorption Direct cell fusion for maximum bioavailability Limited membrane interaction Passive diffusion, less efficient
Encapsulation Capacity High (multiple layers store more active ingredients) Moderate (restricted to aqueous core) Low (only lipophilic molecules)
