Vitamin C is an essential vitamin for our body, essential for processes such as collagen biosynthesis, catecholamine metabolism, and iron absorption from foods (1). As a result, Vitamin C is involved in many biological processes in our body and it has been shown that it:
Contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal functioning of the blood vessels, bones and cartilage
Contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal functioning of the teeth and gums
Contributes to normal collagen formation for normal skin function
Contributes to a normal energy-yielding metabolism
Increases iron absorption
Contributes to the maintenance of normal immune system function during and after strenuous exercise
Contributes to the normal function of the immune and nervous systems
Contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative damage
Contributes to a normal psychological function
Contributes to the regeneration of the reduced form of Vitamin E.
Contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue
While Vitamin C is an essential one, humans cannot synthetize it. Fortunately, it can be obtained through dietary intake of fruits and vegetables. However, for those who want to supplement that and make sure enough Vitamin C is taken daily, we recommend using our Vitamin C Liposomal quality product.
Vitamin C Pro Liposomal
It is well known that, when taken orally, Vitamin C is only little absorbed into the human body. In order to address this challenge, we have designed a pro liposomal formula to maximize its bio-availability.
A major approach known to maximize bio-availability of natural compounds is the phospholipid-based formulation. Such formulations are known as liposomal formulations and commercially, they come as liquid emulsions or solid formulations promoting the formation of liposomal structures (bubble-like structures surrounded by a fat-based layer) that can encapsulate the active ingredients such as Vitamin C. This phospholipid layer is similar to the cell walls in our body. As a result, liposomes are well received by the body and absorbed in higher quantities by the body, to reach the blood stream.
While liposomal formulations are a great way to deliver increased amount of supplements and drugs to the blood stream, when turning these into products, it leads to various disadvantages for the users. Liposomal products are liquid, heavy and difficult to carry. They have difficult taste. Making their taste better may come with various undesired additives. And typically they have short shelf life, even shorter after the bottle is open. Furthermore, liquid liposomal products need to stay stored at low temperature.
In contrast to the liquid liposomal supplements, liposomal promoting formulations as dry powder in capsules have no taste, they are easy to carry, and they can be stored at room temperature with a long shelf life. The quality is therefore even better since the product is more stable.
Furthermore, phospholipids can be negatively or positively charged leading to a lower absorption and time to circulate in the blood stream, compared to neutrally charged liposomes. In order to address this and further maximize the absorption, out Pro Liposomal formula includes LongLifeLipoTech™.
LongLifeLipoTech™ is a liposomal technology that includes a proprietary blend of Phospholipids and Chitosan to promote the formation of neutrally charged liposomes. Indeed, it is known that Chitosan naturally binds to charged phospholipids to form neutrally charged liposomes. This is how, LongLifeLipoTech™ pro liposomal blend, aims to support the formation of liposomes that can have a better biocompatibility (improved absorption and a longer circulating time in the blood stream) compared to formulas based on phospholipids alone.
