WBCIL Liposomal Iron vs. Standard Iron Salts

The following table presents a head-to-head comparison between WBCIL’s liposomal formulation and conventional iron salts. The data demonstrates how liposomal delivery overcomes traditional barriers like the hepcidin block and gastric distress.

Feature WBCIL Liposomal Iron Standard Iron Salts
Absorption Pathway Bypasses DMT1; absorbed via intestinal lymphatic system / M-cells. DMT1-Mediated; requires protein transporters on the enterocyte surface.
Hepcidin Influence Low: Enters bloodstream even when hepcidin levels are high (effective in inflammation). High: Elevated hepcidin blocks iron absorption via the "hepcidin-ferroportin" axis.
Stability in Gut Protected: Phospholipid bilayer shields iron from inhibitors and gastric acid. Reactive: "Free" iron interacts with stomach acid, tannins, and phytates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Technical Questions About Liposomal CoQ10

Key answers covering encapsulation efficiency, pdiv size, zeta potential, thermal stability, shelf life, FTIR confirmation, and absorption performance.

What is the encapsulation efficiency of WBCIL's Liposomal CoQ10?
WBCIL's Liposomal CoQ10 achieves an encapsulation efficiency of 82.52%, determined by validated UV-Visible spectrophotometry. This exceeds the industry acceptance criterion of NLT 70%, while elemental CoQ10 content remains within the accepted range.
Dynamic Light Scattering confirms a mean pdiv size of 150.2 nm with a PDI of 0.3286, indicating a narrow and uniform nanoscale distribution. By comparison, unencapsulated CoQ10 API is approximately 3,000 nm.
A zeta potential of −37.21 mV indicates strong colloidal stability. This level of electrostatic repulsion helps prevent aggregation, keeping the formulation uniformly dispersed and suitable for consistent delivery.
Yes. In thermal exposure testing at 105°C for 4 hours, the formulation maintained its encapsulation efficiency, demonstrating strong heat resilience and suitability for challenging storage or transport conditions.
Based on a 6-month accelerated stability study under ICH-aligned conditions, encapsulation efficiency declined only minimally. The data supports a projected shelf life of 3+ years under standard storage conditions.
FTIR analysis shows characteristic peaks associated with carbonyl, hydrophobic C-H, and hydrophilic O-H interactions. Peak shifts and preserved signatures support stable incorporation of CoQ10 within the phospholipid matrix.
WBCIL's Liposomal CoQ10 demonstrates absorption potential of up to 80%+ and bioavailability above 90%, compared with the significantly lower absorption profile typically seen in conventional CoQ10 formulations.
