Liposomal Vitamin C Delivers Immune Support† Liposomal Vitamin C promotes a healthy immune system. Here’s why:In today's world there is no shortage of environmental stressors – They bring concern, worry...and can make us feel worn down over time! It seems we are being bombarded from every angle. The villain? Free radicals. The hero? Antioxidants. Antioxidants are like the superheroes of your body. They help your body by fending off free radicals that can cause oxidative stress to your cells and tissues.† Vitamin C: The Gold Standard of Antioxidants Vitamin C happens to be one of the best antioxidants to help the cause. For decades intravenous Vitamin C has been used for various reasons with outstanding results. Largely due to the work of Nobel Prize-winning Dr. Linus Pauling, it is now a common sight to see boutique clinics offering Vitamin C in IV bags for a variety of health-promoting causes. The purpose of the IV is to deliver Vitamin C directly into the bloodstream, where it can be readily absorbed. However, doing so comes with a few drawbacks: Inconvenience: Do you really want to go to a boutique clinic? Cost: Do you really want to pay upwards of $200 for a single dose? Needles: Do you really want to get stuck with a needle for your IV drip? Oral supplementation is a much more convenient option over time. What you might not be aware of, however, is... Most Oral Vitamin C Supplements Don’t Work At least, not in the way most people expect. And they are certainly not formulated by an actual medical doctor. It all comes down to bioavailability. That’s because conventional synthetic oral Vitamin C supplements are typically made with poor-quality ingredients and little regard to bioavailability. Many experts estimate absorption rates as low as 15% [1,2]. Fortunately, a cutting-edge new breakthrough in the delivery mechanism of oral Vitamin C has arrived. Introducing Liposomal Vitamin C in liquid micelle form for enhanced absorption and bioavailability. How Well Does Liposomal Vitamin C Work? Short answer: 135% better than traditional oral Vitamin C! [3] The vastly improved absorbability is because of Liposomal Vitamin C’s liquid form, which is then encapsulated into nanosized micelles. These micelles are further enveloped in liposomes (healthy fat cells). After orally taking Liposomal Vitamin C, the micelles containing Vitamin C travel through your digestive system. Protected by liposomes, the Vitamin C is shielded from the hostile environment in the human gut. Gradually, the liposomal layer is stripped off and the Vitamin C micelles are released near the gut lining — where nutrients are best absorbed. Think of it as a force field that protects your most valuable player... all the way to the end zone. Vitamin C Supports Collagen Production Your body also needs Vitamin C to unlock the absorption of other nutrients such as collagen. If you are taking a collagen supplement, you will be surprised to know that Vitamin C is a precursor to collagen production! Luckily now you can pair your collagen protein with Liposomal Vitamin C for enhanced bioavailability and absorption. Just like superheroes, Vitamin C and collagen become even more powerful together!† Who Should Take Liposomal Vitamin C? Liposomal Vitamin C is perfect for anyone who: Is looking for enhanced absorption from a Vitamin C supplement Is interested in additional immune support† Has tried other Vitamin C supplements without success Cannot tolerate swallowing capsules or prefers a liquid form with a delicious citrus flavor Does not get enough antioxidant support from diet alone and would like to support a healthy immune system† Suggested Use: Shake gently before each use. On an empty stomach or between meals, take 15 mL (approximately 1 Tbsp) once per day, or as directed by your health care practitioner. Consult your physician before use. Contents: 15.2 fl. oz. (450 mL) DOES NOT CONTAIN: Gluten, wheat, dairy, corn, soy, GMOs, or yeast. FAQs Who can benefit from taking Liposomal Vitamin C? It's estimated that up to a third of the population may be deficient in Vitamin C, and with constant exposure to pollution and environmental toxins, stress, and poor soil quality, that number could rise. As Vitamin C supplementation (especially with liposomal delivery) has been shown to support natural levels in the blood, virtually anyone living in the modern world today could likely do with a helping hand. What is Micelle Liposomal Delivery, and how is it more effective than regular Vitamin C supplements? In many conventional, cheaply made Vitamin C products, almost no thought goes into how the nutrient is absorbed by your body. This often means the Vitamin C is destroyed in your gut, and very little is left over for you to use (some studies suggest only 15% of the active compound is actually absorbed by your body) [1,2]. Micelle Liposomal delivery is rapidly becoming the modern gold standard. Essentially, Vitamin C is encapsulated into tiny, nano-sized micelles (molecules in a solution) which are further enveloped into liposomes. Liposomes are healthy fat cells that shield the tiny Vitamin C micelles from the hostile environment and absorption barriers found in the human gut. As the liposomes travel through the digestive system, they slowly begin to peel away in a controlled manner. The micelles are gradually released, and eventually the buffered Vitamin C is deposited near the gut lining where it can be fully absorbed, thus maximizing the benefits your body experiences from Vitamin C. What does Vitamin C do for your skin? Vitamin C is a precursor to your body’s natural collagen production. Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in your body, and is quite literally the “glue” that holds your body together. Collagen plays an important role in smoothing out wrinkles, dark spots, under eye circles, and restoring an overall vibrant, youthful glow to your skin. Without Vitamin C, your body cannot naturally synthesize the collagen it requires to promote healthy skin. What does Liposomal Vitamin C taste like? My Liposomal Vitamin C has a delicious orange citrus taste you’ll love! It can even be used to make healthy frozen “orangesicle” popsicles for the whole family to enjoy. What time of day should I take Liposomal Vitamin C? Liposomal Vitamin C can be taken any time of day on an empty stomach or between meals. Can pregnant women and nursing mothers take Liposomal Vitamin C? Liposomal Vitamin C is safe for pregnant women and nursing mothers. However, always be sure to speak with your healthcare provider before starting any new nutritional supplement when pregnant or nursing. Can children take Liposomal Vitamin C? Liposomal Vitamin C is safe for most kids, so long as they do not have an allergy to any of its ingredients. I always recommend speaking with your pediatrician before starting any new supplements.
