Les Nachman, the founder of LivOn Labs, was recovering from a heart issue when he cracked the code on vitamin C supplements: liposomes. Liposomes are biological packets that help deliver “stuff” into cells, and Nachman hypothesized that if he made supplements that wrapped liposomes around water-soluble compounds, those supplements absorbed better into the body. LivOn Labs now uses liposome encapsulation technology for a line of gel supplements—from the original vitamin C to B-complex vitamins, magnesium, and glutathione.
