Infection with Helicobacter pylori (Hp) is one of the leading causes of stomach cancer. The ability to treat Hp infection is hampered by a lack of stomach gastric acid environment. This work introduces a nanoliposome that can rapidly adjust the gastric acid environment to ensure a drug’s optimal efficacy. We introduce CaCO₃@Fe–TP@EggPC nanoliposomes (CTE NLs) that are composed of Fe³⁺ and tea polyphenols (TPs) forming complexes on the surface of internal CaCO₃ and then with lecithin producing a phospholipid bilayer on the polyphenols’ outer surface. Through the action of iron–TP chelate, the phospholipid layer can fuse with the bacterial membrane to eliminate Hp. Furthermore, CaCO₃ can promptly consume the excessive gastric acid, ensuring an ideal operating environment for the chelate. TPs, on the other hand, can improve the inflammation and gut microbes in the body. The experimental results show that CTE NLs can quickly consume protons in the stomach and reduce the bacterial burden by 1.2 orders of magnitude while reducing the inflammatory factors in the body. The biosafety evaluation revealed that nanoliposomes have good biocompatibility and provide a new strategy for treating Hp infection.
