How is Micelle Delivery Different to Liposomal?
DesBio Liposomal and Micellular Formulas Micelles and liposomes are both delivery systems and work in very similar ways. They both increase the bioavailability of supplements by shielding, protecting, and delivering them through the digestive system and into the bloodstream. The main difference between these two delivery systems is that micelles have a single layer membrane, whereas liposomes have a bilayer. In terms of their actual functioning, liposome formulations and micelles are similar. Some vitamins and nutrients are better suited for using liposomal methods, while some are more suited for a micellular formula.

The Need for Micellular Immune Attune Supplementation
Sambucus nigra/canadensis (Black Elderberry)
Elderberry uses are manifold and important. Elderberry fruit and leaves contain numerous compounds thought to have immune-priming effects. Several double-blind placebo-controlled studies using standardized elderberry extracts in the test groups have yielded positive results, supporting numerous markers of healthy immune activity.
Echinacea purpurea extract (Echinacea)
Echinacea is an herb with a long history of traditional use for supporting respiratory tract health. It has been shown to stimulate immune function and may have antioxidant potential to reduce oxidative damage associated with immune response. Multiple meta-analyses suggest that echinacea supports respiratory health, particularly in individuals with higher stress levels or immunological weakness.
Vitamin D3
Vitamin D is synthesized in human skin when the compound 7-dehydrocholesterol is exposed to UVB light. Once thought to have the sole function of regulating calcium metabolism for bone health, it is now known that active Vitamin D3 plays a role in immune health. Vitamin D receptors are also found on both B- and T-cells of the immune system and may have the ability to adapt and modulate immune function.
Zinc
Zinc is necessary for reproduction, growth and development, neurotransmission, vision, and immune function. One important function is immune modulation – the tamping down of the inflammatory immune response when it creates high levels of inflammatory mediators. In addition, zinc is believed to inhibit viral binding to ACE2 receptors on cell membranes where viruses latch on as a first step to invading cells. It also inhibits the functioning of viral replication enzymes, such as retroviral RNA replicase.
Ginger (Zingiber officinale)
Ginger has a rich history of being used in both Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese herbal practices. Ginger's oleoresin constituents exhibit potential inhibition of synthesis of prostaglandins and leukotrienes. The components shogaol and paradol inhibit cyclooxygenase-2 enzyme activity dose-dependently, while gingerol inhibits 5-lipoxygenase.
The Benefits of Micellular Delivery
As an added bonus, micelles do not require digestive processes and instead float in-between the gap junctions within the intestinal lining for direct delivery into the body. Micro-encapsulated delivery of vitamins and herbs offers multiple advantages over conventional peroral delivery of tablets and capsules. The liquid format is also helpful for patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets and capsules.
