Product introduction

What Is Liposome?

Liposomes are actually similar to cells. The same phospholipids that makeup cell membranes also make up the outer shell of liposomes. The inner and outer walls of the liposome are made up of phospholipids, the most common being phosphatidylcholine, to create a lipid bilayer. 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 liposome delivery system.

Liposomes were discovered in the 1960s. This novel delivery system offers a target

d method to get nutrients into the bloodstream without being destroyed by the digestive enzymes and digestive acid in the intestine and stomach.

What Is Liposomal Vitamin C?

In the case of liposomal vitamin C, these phospholipids encapsulate vitamin C at their core.

As mentioned above, liposomes are thought to fuse with the cells responsible for absorbing nutrients making up the gut lining called enterocytes. Because they bypass the normal mechanism of absorbing vitamin C through slow vitamin C receptors type 1 (sodium-dependent vitamin C receptors SCVT 1), the bioavailability is much higher than standard vitamin C supplements.

Taking a liposome form of vitamin C is much more effective and efficient than traditional methods of vitamin C supplementation in terms of absorption.

Benefits Of Liposomal Vitamin C

Bioavailability

The best-understood advantage is that liposomal vitamin C has a much higher bioavailability than standard vitamin C.

Bioavailable simply means how well vitamin C absorbs into your system. As we already mentioned liposomal vitamin C supplement allows your small intestine to absorb more of the nutrient than a standard vitamin C supplement.

A 2016 study in 11 human subjects found that vitamin C encapsulated in liposomes increased vitamin C levels in the blood by substantially compared to an unencapsulated (non-liposome) supplement at the same dose (4 grams).

Heart and Brain Health

Vitamin C intake (via diet or supplements) may decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease by about 25%, according to a 2004 analysis published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Any form of vitamin C supplement improves endothelial function, as well as ejection fraction.

The endothelial function involves the contraction and relaxation of blood vessels, enzymatic release to manage blood clotting, immunity, and platelet adhesion. Ejection fraction defines “the percentage of blood that is pumped (or ejected) out of the ventricles” when the heart contracts on every beat.

Together, these results suggest that vitamin C may play an important part in the prevention of cardiovascular disease and the improvement of heart health.

After a stroke or heart attack, it’s important to heal the tissues damaged by the lack of oxygen. Once blood flow is restored, the reoxygenation of previously oxygen-deprived cells leads to dtissue damage called "reperfusion injury" which is accompanied by “excessive generation of free radicals”.

When delivered intravenously, vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that can counteract and neutralize free radicals that cause the oxidative stress caused by reperfusion.

In one animal study, liposomal vitamin C prevented brain tissue damage from reperfusion when administered before blood flow was restricted.

Although blood levels achieved by IV infused vitamin C are much higher than liposomal vitamin C, one study observed that liposomal vitamin C was nearly as effective as IV vitamin C at preventing tissue damage during reperfusion. The research was conducted in 11 subjects who had temporary obstruction of blood flow to their arms blood flow by tourniquet.

Cancer

Intravenous vitamin C can be used in high doses to fight cancer in tandem with traditional chemotherapy. It may not eradicate cancer on its own, but it can definitely improve the quality of life, increasing energy and mood for many cancer patients.

On a case-by-case basis, IV vitamin C can even induce regression of cancer. A 2014 review recounts several reports of remission when using IV vitamin C with chemotherapy.

However, one should not rely on IV vitamin C to induce remission or treat cancer on it’s own, as these cases are isolated at best. Vitamin C can however be a great adjuvant (helper) to traditional cancer treatment.

Liposomal vitamin C has not been specifically tested in human subjects with cancer. Many cancer patients receiving IV vitamin C, however, also use liposomal vitamin C in high doses between IV treatments. After receiving a high dose of IV vitamin C, it is not uncommon for blood levels to drop below normal in the days after the infusion (trough levels). Therefore, it’s highly recommended to increase oral intake levels of vitamin C between IV vitamin C infusions especially to prevent low rebound trough plasma levels of vitamin C.

Collagen Production

Collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies, however our own natural collagen production slows around the age of 25. Vitamin C is a cofactor in the enzymes that produce collagen, meaning it is necessary to the function and health of your bones, blood vessels, and joints where collagen abounds. When vitamin C levels run low, such as in times of stress, infection, chronic illness (i.e. diabetes, autoimmune illness which generate high levels of free radicals and oxidative stress), less of it is available for collagen production. Since collagen is the structural protein that holds us together, this can manifest as weaker joints, tendons, blood vessels and connective tissue. More superficially, weaker collagen can manifest as sagging skin with more wrinkles.

Oxidative Stress

In general, some level of oxidative stress occurs within every living thing. As a 2006 review puts it:

“There is increasing evidence connecting oxidative stress with a variety of pathological conditions including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, chronic inflammatory disease, post-ischaemic organ injury, diabetes mellitus, xenobiotic/drug toxicity, and rheumatoid arthritis.” Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant and is found in generous quantities within the human body.
