All A‑Lab formulas have been designed to ensure optimal bioavailability
Through a liposomal matrix combined with a customised
LCA-BioScience® activation complex
Micronutrients play a key role in our health
For this reason, A-Lab has developed a line of essential micronutrients with next-generation bioavailability to guarantee optimum absorption of its active ingredients
Liposomes: designed to protect and deliver active ingredients
An innovative approach for improved absorption
Ranging from 10 to 100 nanometres in diameter, a liposome is a spherical structure consisting of a double layer of phospholipids – a class of lipids with a hydrophilic head (which likes water) and a hydrophobic tail (which does not like water)
Forming vesicles, liposomes can encapsulate active substances which they protect from degradation and help penetrate cells by fusing with the intestinal membrane. The cells of the latter primarily consist of phospholipids
Due to a structural similarity, liposomes can interact with them in a specific way: when the liposome lipids come into contact with those of the cellular membrane, hydrophobic attractions encourage fusion, allowing the content of the liposome to be delivered straight to the heart of the cell

A-Lab exclusive liposomal technology
A-Lab liposomes are obtained through high-pressure microfluidisation
This innovative solvent-free technology helps maintain the integrity of the phospholipids and ensure a high level of consistency in the size and composition of the liposomes for a steady delivery
Thanks to an exclusive coating method
A-Lab liposomes are protected from digestive attack and gradually reach their cellular penetration site for a slower, extended release of active ingredients and long-lasting effects
Increased absorption
In this study comparing the absorption of a liposomal form of Vitamin C to a non-liposomal form, there is a 77% increase in absorption of active ingredients, and a more extended release of the vitamin C administered in liposomal form
Randomised study, single dose, two treatments, two sequences, two periods
Bidirectional crossover study of oral bioavailability in adult human subjects in good health under fasting conditions
Increase in overall bioavailability, Cmax and area under the curve in response to the oral administration of liposomal vitamin C versus the administration of a non-encapsulated version
The results of clinical studies into orally administered liposomal vitamin C are 1.77 times more bioavailable than non-liposomal vitamin C
