What is Liposomal Vitamic C?
Paula Gallagher on
Vitamin C is the one of the most common supplements taken and is best known for its ability to enhance immune function. There are many types of vitamin C, including liposomal vitamin C.
Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that is not stored within the body. Humans cannot manufacture their own vitamin C either, meaning it must be taken in through diet or supplementation. Because vitamin C is water soluble, it is recommended to spread intake (or doses) throughout the day, as excess is lost in urine within a few hours of ingestion.
Vitamin C can be found in many fruits and vegetables, including citrus fruits, cantaloupe, berries, mango, papaya, pineapple, leafy greens, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, sweet potatoes, red and green peppers, tomato/tomato juice, and squash.
Supplemental vitamin C comes in many forms. Ascorbic acid is the most common form available.
What is Liposomal Vitamin C?
Vitamin C, like many other nutrients, has to make its way through your digestive tract, which can be difficult. However liposomal vitamin C is encapsulated in tiny fatty acid particles – liposomes – so it avoids the digestive tract altogether. The liposomes protect the vitamin C from the harsh acids of the stomach and degradation by enzymes, allowing for easier absorption in the stomach and intestinal tract. Once broken down, the contents of the liposomes are then released into your bloodstream, where it’s distributed to the various tissues inside your body.
Is Liposomal Vitamin C Better?
Because of the protective effects of the liposomes, the absorption of liposomal vitamin C is significantly higher than standard vitamin C supplements. This means that liposomal vitamin C can raise your blood concentration of vitamin C quickly – even when you’re taking lower doses. The lipid envelope helps the fat-containing cells and tissues of the body to absorb what is normally a water-soluble vitamin but is delivered inside a fat-permeable layer that is the liposome.
Why Choose Liposomal Vitamin C?
The number one reason to take liposomal vitamin C is absorption. The second reason is that it is usually tolerated much better than other sources of vitamin C. Beyond boosted absorption and fewer side effects, it has many of the same benefits of other vitamin C forms, including combating oxidative stress, enhancing immune function, improving collagen production, boosting iron absorption, and supporting overall cardiovascular and brain health. But because you're absorbing more, it might just help your body do these things more efficiently and effectively.
