Description

Liposomal vitamin C is a highly bioavailable form of this essential antioxidant known to protect against oxidative damage, support healthy immune function, and play an essential role in collagen synthesis. Vitamin C is a cofactor of prolyl and lysyl hydroxylases, enzymes necessary for the development of collagen in joints and bones. High vitamin C intake has been associated with a reduced risk of osteoporotic fracture and an increase in bone mineral density. Vitamin C increases iron absorption, stabilizes vitamin E and folate, and reduces inflammation. An increased risk of deficiency has been identified in a number of populations, including older adults, people with inflammatory bowel disease, cancer or food allergies, and tobacco smokers. Vitamin C supplementation boosts immune function and is associated with a shorter duration of respiratory tract infections, such as the common cold. Supplementation has also been associated with improved liver function and blood sugar control in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Liposomes encapsulate vitamin C in a phospholipid bilayer, thereby circumventing the usual limitations of absorption and increasing plasma ascorbic acid levels to a greater extent than conventional supplementation. 8,9 Liposomal forms of vitamin C have been shown to nearly double the bioavailability while maintaining the safety of standard ascorbic acid supplementation.
