Product Overview
Liposomal Zinc Citrate 80% – 24% Zinc is a high‑purity mineral raw material using liposomal encapsulation technology, composed of 80% zinc citrate and 20% non‑GMO sunflower phospholipids, with zinc content ≥24% on a dry basis. It solves the pain points of traditional zinc supplements such as low bioavailability, gastric irritation, and easy interference by phytate/other minerals, and greatly improves absorption efficiency and formulation stability. It is vegan, non‑GMO, allergen‑free, and fully compliant with EU & US dietary supplement standards.
Liposomal Advantage
Traditional zinc citrate is prone to gastric breakdown, poor solubility, and competitive absorption with calcium/iron, resulting in low actual utilization and mild gastrointestinal discomfort. Our liposomal zinc citrate uses a phospholipid bilayer structure to wrap zinc citrate stably:
- Protects zinc from gastric acid and food inhibitors
- Delivers intact to the intestinal tract for efficient absorption
- Boosts bioavailability by 2–5x vs. regular zinc citrate
- Reduces gastric irritation, suitable for sensitive groups
- Improves dispersion in water‑based formulas and stability in finished products
Core Features (Process + Carrier)
Two Drying Processes

Three Carrier Systems
- Sunflower lecithin – clean label, vegan, non‑GMO, wide compatibility
- Sunflower lecithin + phytosterols – enhances stability, extends shelf life
- Sunflower lecithin + cholesterol – improves membrane rigidity, ideal for oil‑based formulations
Product Highlights
- Assay: Zinc citrate ≥80%, zinc ≥24% (dry basis)
- Entrapment rate: ≥90%
- Appearance: white free‑flowing powder
- Microbiologically clean: low TPC, yeast/mold, pathogens negative
- Certifications: COA, Non‑GMO, Vegan, Allergen‑Free available
Bioavailability Boost (Zinc‑Specific Value)
Zinc absorption is easily blocked by phytate, fiber, calcium, and iron, and conventional zinc only achieves ~14% utilization with noticeable gastric side effects.
Our liposomal zinc citrate:
- Bypasses absorption competition and inhibitor interference
- Delivers zinc directly into cells via lipid fusion
- Achieves 2–5x higher bioavailability
- Lowers effective dosage while reducing gastric discomfort
- Supports immune function, enzyme activity, skin health, and reproductive health more efficiently

FAQ
1. What is liposomal zinc citrate and how does it work?
Liposomal zinc citrate uses phospholipid vesicles to encapsulate zinc citrate, shielding it from stomach acid and inhibitors, thus significantly raising cellular absorption and bioavailability.
2. Why choose liposomal zinc citrate over regular zinc citrate?
It delivers
2–5x higher bioavailability, stronger stability, less gastric irritation, and better performance in high‑end formulations.
3. What’s the difference between spray dried and freeze dried liposomes?
Spray dried offers cost efficiency and high throughput; freeze dried preserves maximum activity and encapsulation integrity.
4. Which carriers do you supply?
Three vegan‑friendly carriers: sunflower lecithin; sunflower lecithin + phytosterols; sunflower lecithin + cholesterol.
5. Is your liposomal zinc citrate water‑soluble?
It forms a uniform, stable colloidal dispersion in water, not true dissolution—this is normal for liposomes.
6. Can you provide full compliance documents?
Yes, including COA, HPLC, Non‑GMO, Vegan, Allergen‑Free certificates; export declaration supported.
7. What can be customized?
Content, drying process, carrier type, particle size, packaging, and dosage formats are all customizable.
8. What finished products is this raw material suitable for?
Capsules, tablets, solid drinks, gummies, oral liquids, and multi‑component functional supplements.
