Liposomes

Meaning

Liposomes are microscopic, spherical vesicles artificially created from one or more concentric phospholipid bilayers, closely mimicking the structure of natural cell membranes. In the context of hormonal health and pharmacology, they function primarily as advanced drug delivery systems to encapsulate and protect sensitive active ingredients, such as peptide hormones or nutrients. This encapsulation significantly enhances the stability, solubility, and targeted bioavailability of the payload within the body.
