Boosting the Immune System
A healthy immune system contributes to overall health. It is an efficient integrated network of cellular elements and immune modulators to prevent certain diseases. Several natural nutrients are well known for supporting the immune system in various ways. These so-called immunostimulants comprise e.g. Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, and carotenoids like Lutein. They can be used as part of integrative, complementary, and preventive measures. Unfortunately, many of the immunostimulants do not have optimal properties to get absorbed effectively after oral intake. This can be greatly improved by using certain delivery technologies and excipients.
Natural Phospholipids
Key excipients to achieve this goal are natural phospholipids. Phospholipids are amphiphilic molecules and appear as part of the membrane of every living cell. Non-GMO plant-derived phospholipids are suitable to generate lipid globules like emulsion droplets and liposomes. Lipophilic nutrients are solubilized and/or emulsified, whereas hydrophilic nutrients can be encapsulated in the lipid globules. In addition, phospholipids act as a source of essential fatty acids and may protect the stomach from acidic substances. PhytoSolve® from Lipoid is a unique and natural technology to formulate lipophilic as well as hydrophilic nutrients.
