Liposomal Vitamin C supplement: immunity & vitality

Liposomal Vitamin C benefits from the latest advances in formulating techniques: it uses liposome technology to produce a highly absorbable form of vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, now available to buy at Supersmart.

This innovative technique is based on the use of lecithin obtained from sunflowers (quality-controlled and non-hydrogenated sunflower oil). In the stomach, its molecules protect the vitamin C by forming tiny bubbles called liposomes, which because of their size, and the fact they are made of the same material as cell membranes, are easily absorbed by the body. This technique therefore makes the vitamin C bioavailable to many of the body’s organs.

What are the benefits associated with Liposomal Vitamin C?

With its innovation formulation, this new dietary supplement helps provide an optimal intake of vitamin C, the benefits of which have been widely studied and are well-established. Key to ensuring a healthy body, vitamin C’s multiple effects mean it plays a role in a number of vital functions:

• Fights oxidative stress and free radical damage due to its antioxidant potency.
• Protects against cellular ageing due to a synergistic action with vitamin E, beta-carotene, selenium and zinc.
• Boosts the immune system responsible for defending the body against external attacks.
• Participates in the synthesis of collagen, a protein that provides strength and elasticity to tissues.
• Contributes to the production of certain neurotransmitters such as dopamine and noradrenaline.
• Helps form haemoglobin or red blood cells.
• Has a role in carnitine synthesis, a molecule that helps transport fatty acids to mitochondria to be used in energy production.
• Enhances absorption of iron from plant sources.
• Protects blood vessel walls by contributing to arterial flexibility and healthy blood pressure.
