- The LipoQuest™ platform
Cell-membrane chemistry, borrowed
Liposomes are lipid bilayers that closely resemble cell membranes. Their phospholipids have water-attracting heads and water-repelling tails so they self-assemble into spherical vesicles in water.
That structure lets a liposome carry water-soluble ingredients in its core and fat-soluble ingredients in its bilayer, then attach to cell membranes and release the payload across them.
Vesta’s LipoQuest™ liposomes are made from non-hydrogenated, non-GMO sunflower lecithin — all-natural, allergen-free phospholipids

- Platform advantages
Why liposomal delivery matters
Improved bioavailability
Ingredients are more readily absorbed and utilized. LipoOrganiSil™ showed improved absorption over non-liposomal forms.
Enhanced stability
The bilayer protects sensitive compounds from degradation by pH, enzymes, and oxidation as they move through the digestive tract.
Controlled release
Sustained, targeted delivery reaching systemic circulation with a higher fraction of the payload intact.
- Platform validation
Validated Process. Reproducible Results.
The LipoQuest™ process is validated across multiple tests and reproducible across every ingredient in the platform. This means less qualification time and cost for you. Every batch is still produced to specification and released with a full Certificate of Analysis.
