Liposomal Zinc is Zinc — an essential trace mineral supplied as a soluble zinc salt or chelate — encapsulated in plant-based phosphatidylcholine (PC) liposomes on Hoynoza's HNOVA™ platform. The vesicles are nano-sized, 50 to under 200 nm, and are supplied as an ingredient for formulators and manufacturers.
Free Zinc presents a formulation challenge: conventional zinc salts can taste metallic and cause stomach upset. In a liposome, Zinc is carried in the aqueous core, which is designed to protect the active and let it disperse evenly in the finished product.

Aqueous core
Water-soluble actives are entrapped in the water-filled centre, shielded from the outside environment.
How the HNOVA™ liposome addresses the specific handling problem of Zinc.
Conventional zinc salts can taste metallic and cause stomach upset.
Free ZincZinc is entrapped in the aqueous core of a 50 to under 200 nm plant-based phosphatidylcholine liposome.
HNOVA™ nano-liposomeProtected from the surrounding medium and easier to disperse evenly in liquids.
Designed outcomeEvery Liposomal Zinc batch shares the same engineered advantages as the rest of the portfolio.
Improves absorption, increases cellular uptake and maximises systemic availability.
Protects sensitive actives from oxidation, degradation, gastric enzymes and environmental stress.
Nano-sized liposomes (50 to <200 nm) ensure precise delivery to target tissues and cells.
Enhances solubility of poorly water-soluble actives for better formulation flexibility.
Developed using plant-based phosphatidylcholine (PC) for a premium, sustainable, clean-label delivery.
What changes when the same active is carried in a liposome.
| Free Zinc | Liposomal Zinc (HNOVA™) | |
|---|---|---|
| Dispersion in water | Dissolves, but the active is unprotected in solution. | ✓Carried as 50 to <200 nm vesicles that stay dispersed in water-based systems. |
| Protection of the active | Exposed to oxygen, light and the surrounding medium. | ✓Held inside a lipid vesicle, away from the bulk medium. |
| Formulation challenge | Conventional zinc salts can taste metallic and cause stomach upset. | ✓Addressed by encapsulation in the aqueous core of the liposome. |
| Carrier | None — the raw material on its own. | ✓Plant-based phosphatidylcholine (PC). |
| Label | Varies by excipient system. | ✓Plant-based, clean-label lipid source. |

Liposomal Zinc is Zinc — an essential trace mineral supplied as a soluble zinc salt or chelate — carried inside plant-based phosphatidylcholine liposomes. Lipologics supplies it as a nano-liposomal ingredient of 50 to under 200 nm, built on the HNOVA™ platform.
Free Zinc presents a formulation challenge: conventional zinc salts can taste metallic and cause stomach upset. Carrying it in the aqueous core of a nano-liposome is designed to protect the active and to disperse it evenly in the finished product.
Typical routes are liquid liposomal concentrates, shots and drops, and dried forms for capsules and sachets. Format availability is confirmed per active — ask us for the format you need.
No. Lipologics supplies Liposomal Zinc as an ingredient for formulators, manufacturers and product developers — not as a finished consumer product.
A specification sheet, Certificate of Analysis and technical dossier are available on request. Particle size and encapsulation efficiency are confirmed per batch.
Liposomal Zinc is supplied by Lipologics, the liposomal ingredient brand of Hoynoza Technologies Pvt Ltd, Bengaluru, India. Use the contact page to discuss specifications, samples and programme requirements.
