Regarding liposomal vitamin C, we should start with Vitamin C, commonly known as ascorbic acid, is an essential nutrient. Your body needs Vitamin C for various core functions, and the key one is fighting inflammation.
It is also great for improving immunity, the production of carnitine, and collagen. Vitamin C also plays a major role in the repair and growth of body tissues. Other animals like dogs can create their own Vitamin C, but unfortunately, humans cannot. This makes it our task to take Vitamin C in our diet.
Liposomes are tiny, nano-sized bubbles that mimic the body’s own cell membranes and are designed to protect the Vitamin C as it travels through the body. Liposomes also have the ability to travel through the body’s cells aiding and accelerating absorption. This means that the Vitamin C is being delivered directly into the cells of your body, without being degraded and without consuming energy in the process, therefore maximising the benefit.
Liposomal vitamin C on the other hand, is still ascorbic acid, just encased in a liposomal form—surrounded by a lipid bilayer that allows for easier access into the cell. This means that it is far more absorbable and bioavailable in the body, ready to be used as needed. As a supplement, you get more value out of a liposomal formula than a water soluble formula.
