Benefits of Liposomal Vitamin C

Vitamin C is one of the most popular supplements available; and rightly so, with its multiple health benefits.

It helps the body form more collagen, essential to healthy joints and youthful looking skin.  Vitamin C also helps to repair blood vessels and tissues, normalize blood pressure, boost the immune system and keep teeth and bones healthy.

When it comes to more serious illness, vitamin C has the ability to differentiate between healthy and unhealthy cells and it is able to repair and rebuild cells of cancer patients.  With its powerful anti-oxidant properties, it efficiently rids the body of harmful free radicals and fights off viruses and bacteria.

Ever feel down or lackluster?  Vitamin C is a very important component to proper production of brain chemicals, including the feel good neurotransmitter known as serotonin.  

While intravenous vitamin C therapy has been around for years, and shown positive results, it is still not readily recognized by medical authorities as effective. 

Then, as a more readily available alternative, there are the vitamin C powders, drinks and other oral supplements.  A major downfall in the standard oral supplements versus the IV therapy is the amount that actually gets absorbed by the body; with the IV therapy offering more benefit.  While the oral supplements offer advantages over no form of vitamin C at all, because of the breakdown it endures while traveling through the digestive system, the benefits to the body are drastically diminished.

However, there is a form that is quickly gaining popularity and that is Liposomal Vitamin C.  This form of vitamin C is encased in a liposome pouch or bag that is made up of fat.  Why is this important?  Because the cells more readily accept a fat cell, detecting it as something natural to the body, whereas vitamin C is normally water-soluble.  So, with the liposomal vitamin C being inside of this little fat cell as the delivery system, it enables the vitamin C to cross the cell membrane barrier a lot easier, thus offering higher benefit and absorption rate.

With the liposomal delivery method, it can effectively and economically replace the IV method offering comparable results.
