What is a liposome made of?
Liposomes are microscopic spheres of phospholipids that are stable in water and contain water-welcoming substances. The ability to contain both environments is explained by the presence of phospholipids. When phospholipids are placed in water liposomal spheres occur. This event occurs because within phospholipids are a water-welcoming end and a fat-welcoming end. The fat-welcoming ends are driven to avoid water and clump together. On the outside are the water-welcoming tails, which forms a circle and creation of the membrane. This membrane is similar to the membrane of intracellular components in your body, which drastically helps with absorption of the vital nutrients you need. Phospholipids create an environment that allows a variety of substances to be encapsulated.
