Liposomal Vitamin C is a highly bioavailable form of this essential antioxidant known to protect against oxidative damage, support healthy immune function, and play an essential role in collagen synthesis. Vitamin C is a cofactor for prolyl and lysyl hydroxylases, enzymes needed for collagen development in joints and bones. A higher intake of vitamin C has been associated with a reduced risk for osteoporotic fracture and an increase in bone mineral density. 1,2 Vitamin C increases iron absorption, stabilizes vitamin E and folic acid, and attenuates inflammation. 3,4 A greater risk for deficiency has been identified in a number of populations, including older adults, individuals with inflammatory bowel disease, cancer, or food allergies, and tobacco smokers. 4 Vitamin C supplementation enhances immune function and is associated with a shorter duration of respiratory tract infections, such as the common cold. 5 Supplementation has also been associated with improved liver function and glycemic control in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). 6,7
Liposomes encapsulate vitamin C in a phospholipid bilayer, bypassing typical limitations of absorption and increasing plasma ascorbic acid levels to a greater degree than typical supplementation. 8,9 Liposomal forms of vitamin C have been shown to nearly double the bioavailability while retaining the safety of standard ascorbic acid supplementation. 10
