What is vitamin C and what does it do?

Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is an essential vitamin involved in many of the body's everyday functions. Unlike some nutrients, the human body cannot make its own vitamin C, meaning it needs to come from the foods we eat or from supplementation where needed.

Vitamin C is well known for its role in supporting the normal function of the immune system, but its benefits extend much further. It contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and is needed for normal collagen formation, supporting the normal function of skin, bones, cartilage, gums, teeth and blood vessels.

It also contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, helps reduce tiredness and fatigue and increases the body's absorption of iron.

Why liposomal vitamin C?

Vitamin C taken orally must pass through the digestive system before it can reach the bloodstream. During this process, absorption can be limited by digestive conditions and by the body's natural transport mechanisms.

lipolife® uses proprietary liposomal encapsulation technology to enclose vitamin C within microscopic phospholipid structures called liposomes. These structures are designed to help protect the active ingredient during digestion and support its delivery and bioavailability.

How does liposomal encapsulation work?

A liposome is a microscopic sphere made from phospholipids, the same type of molecules found in cell membranes.

Its structure allows it to carry both water-soluble and fat-soluble compounds, depending on the formulation.

For vitamin C, liposomal encapsulation can:

  • help protect the active ingredient as it passes through the digestive system;
  • support efficient delivery of vitamin C;
  • help improve the bioavailability of the encapsulated nutrient compared with conventional delivery formats.

Why choose lipolife® Liposomal Vitamin C?

lipolife® has specialised in liposomal formulation and manufacture for many years, using proprietary technology developed by Professor Mohammad Najlah (Anglia Ruskin University), to produce carefully engineered phospholipid delivery systems.

Our Liposomal Vitamin C is designed to support effective delivery of vitamin C while providing the established nutritional benefits of this essential nutrient.

Vitamin C contributes to:

  • the normal function of the immune system;
  • normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, bones, cartilage, gums, teeth and blood vessels;
  • the protection of cells from oxidative stress;
  • normal energy-yielding metabolism;
  • the reduction of tiredness and fatigue; and
  • increased iron absorption.
