Liposomal iron isn’t a single, well-defined compound but rather a delivery system for iron. It encapsulates iron molecules within microscopic spheres made of phospholipids, the same fatty molecules that form cell membranes. These spheres, called liposomes, are typically colorless to slightly yellow and range in size from 30-100 nanometers (billionths of a meter). Since liposomes are microscopic, liposomal iron appears as a fine powder or suspension in a liquid, depending on the formulation. It’s usually odorless.

A crucial point to consider is liposomal iron’s hygroscopicity. Liposomes themselves can attract moisture, so proper storage in a sealed container is essential to prevent clumping or degradation. The texture of liposomal iron powder will vary depending on the specific product, ranging from smooth and flour-like to slightly gritty. Liquid formulations will have a smooth, syrupy consistency. At WBCIL, we prioritize quality.

Our best liposomal iron powder undergoes rigorous testing to guarantee an encapsulation efficiency exceeding 85%. As a leading API manufacturer, WBCIL prioritizes strict CGMP and ISO quality control measures throughout the production process. The prolonged experience from 1962 ensures consistent potency, purity, and safety in every dose of WBCIL’s liposomal products.
