liposomal
Membrane-bubble delivery system
Liposomal describes something enclosed in or delivered via liposomes—microscopic spherical vesicles made of fatty membranes similar to cell walls.
The term appears mainly in pharmaceutical and supplement contexts, where liposomal delivery systems help substances absorb more efficiently into the body: liposomal vitamin C, liposomal drug formulations.
