What Is Vitamin C?
Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is one of the 50 essential nutrients you need every day for optimal health. Because vitamin C isn’t fat soluble, it doesn’t make its way into fatty tissue such as your fat cells or within the fatty part of the membrane that makes up the cells of your body. Human beings have lost the ability to make their own vitamin C, unlike most other animals.
Vitamin C is an essential cofactor in various biochemical reactions such as collagen and carnitine synthesis, regulation of gene expression, immune support, neuropeptide production and more.

What Are Liposomes?
A double layer of phospholipids (phospholipid bilayer) creates a sphere around an aqueous (water-containing) component, such as dissolved vitamin C.
Because the liposomes’ outer shells imitate our cell membranes, liposomes can “fuse” with certain cells upon contact, delivering the liposome’s content to the cell. This is the scientific advantage of the liposomal delivery system.
This novel delivery system offers a targeted method to get nutrients into the bloodstream without being destroyed by the digestive enzymes and acid found in the digestive tract and stomach respectively.
Benefits Of Liposomal Vitamin C
Liposomal vitamin C essentially has the same benefits of standard vitamin C, you’re just more likely to notice the results due to its higher absorption ability. Skin health*
Vitamin C helps the body produce collagen, the structural “glue” that holds us together.
It’s also what helps skin retain its smoothness, bounce, and elasticity. [3, 4]
Heart health*
Vitamin C is our most essential antioxidant, protecting nutrient molecules like proteins and lipids from oxidative stress and damage.
* For heart health in particular, it inhibits oxidation of LDL-protein, which reduces atherosclerosis. It has also been linked in some studies to improvements in arterial stiffness, lipid profiles and endothelial function. [7]
Immune support*
We need strong immune systems more than ever, and vitamin C is your immune system champion.
Research shows that vitamin C reduced the number of common colds by half in physically active people.
