Liposomal supplements in dry form bring several benefits over conventional water-based liposome products. Most notably, taking out the water improves the storage stability, which is important considering the delicate nature of the phospholipids and many of the actives we encapsulate in the liposomes. Another advantage is the significant reduction of the overall weight and bulkiness of a product, which can be reduced with a factor 5 or more. Finally, as opposed to their water-based equivalents, dry liposome products are very well compatible with capsules for oral intake including the specially designed more advanced capsules that feature delayed release for better intestinal uptake of their contents.

While different methods are typically used to take out water from conventional supplement products, such as evaporation, desiccation of spray drying, liposomal supplements cannot easily be dried simply because without water the liposomal vesicular structure collapses on itself leading to the complete loss of the unique properties. Only advanced drying methods including freeze-drying and fluid air bed drying can work and only if specific natural protection aids are added to keep the structure of the vesicles intact (so-called cryoprotectants).
