The science behind Zooki

Zooki is clinically proven to perform 4x better than conventional supplements - all thanks to our unique, patented nutrient delivery systems. Our nutrient delivery systems harness the power of liposomes to enhance the absorption and bioavailability of nutrients throughout the body. We've compiled this summary to talk you through exactly how it all works.

What are liposomes?

Liposomes are the crux of our nutrient delivery systems. Essentially, they are tiny spheres made with lipids, similar to the lipid membranes that make up the walls of your cells. When we say “Liposomal Vitamin C”, we’re referring to Vitamin C molecules sitting within protective lipid spheres: this is how we transport precious cargo at a tiny scale!

How do Zooki's liposomes work?
Protect

Our liposomes form a protective shield around nutrients, helping to prevent degradation as they travel through the harsh environments of your digestive system. In practice, this is about shielding the nutrients from severely acidic conditions.

Absorb

Our liposomal encapsulation enables nutrients to by-pass the need for the protein channels that act as bottlenecks for nutrient absorption in standard supplements - Zooki nutrients are absorbed directly into the bloodstream through M-cells in the gut lining.

Deliver

Now the nutrients are in the bloodstream, our nutrient delivery systems work to increase the uptake of the nutrient into your cells. Zooki's liposomal delivery provides 3x greater cellular uptake versus conventional supplements.

Zooki's nutrient delivery systems

We utilise patented Nutrient Delivery Systems to create products that are clinically proven to perform 4x better than conventional supplements. This unique nutrient delivery system technology means we can wrap nutrients in lipids in both a liquid and a dry format - so whether you go for our great tasting sachets or the newly added capsules, the high bioavailability is still there.

What are the results?
4x more protection through the digestive system

To demonstrate the shielding ability of our liposomes, we commissioned a study which simulated the acidic conditions of both the stomach and the intestines, and measured how Zooki products held up in comparison to nutrients in their raw, unprotected form. Zooki's nutrients maintained quadruple the nutrient concentration in the stomach and intestines throughout digestion vs a standard supplement.

4x greater absorption into the bloodstream

To demonstrate the increased bioavailability of Zooki Liposomal Delivery Technology, we commissioned an open label, randomised, single dose, two-treatment, two-way crossover, oral bioavailability study in healthy, adult, human participants under fasting conditions with a global top 500 university. 

The study found over a 48 hour period, there was 3.91 x more Vitamin C in the bloodstream when using Zooki Liposomal Delivery Technology compared to non-encapsulated Vitamin C.

3x greater uptake into the cells

To demonstrate the improvements in cellular bioavailability, we commissioned independent in-vitro studies that examined how Zooki Vitamin C impacted cellular bioavailability and also efficacy with respect to combatting toxicity inside cells when compared to non-encapsulated Vitamin C.

The permeability assay values of both samples found Zooki liposomal vitamin C to have 3.2 x higher cellular uptake than conventional vitamin C.
