Product Description: Immune Health High Bioavailability Supplement Highly bioavailable liquid vitamin C Strengthens immune system function and antioxidant reserves Helps neutralize free radicals in the body Delivering high-quality products based on science since 1969 Swanson Ultra’s Liposomal Vitamin C is a cutting-edge formula that encapsulates vitamin C in fat-soluble liposomes. These liposomes safely deliver the vitamin directly into the bloodstream via the digestive system, providing optimal bioavailability. It’s gentler on the digestive tract than traditional ascorbic acid, making it ideal for supplements that require large doses. What are liposomes? Liposomes are tiny, microscopic “bubbles” or spheres made of phospholipids that act as carriers to deliver active agents (in this case, nutrients) to cells and tissues. They’re effective because they’re similar to our own cells. The outer lining of our cells contains the same phospholipids that form the liposomes. Without a proper carrier on the cell surface to transport water-soluble vitamin C across the lipid layer of the cell membrane, the vitamin would remain outside the cell and not provide the intended benefits to the body. Liposomal vitamin C is a unique delivery form that acts as a carrier to deliver active nutrients directly to cells and tissues, unlike other delivery forms. What is a 'true liposome'? To form a true liposome, the active ingredient is reacted with a phospholipid carrier to form a small, uniform sphere that encapsulates and retains the active ingredient in a particle size of approximately 150 nanometers. You can't mix lecithin with vitamin C and call it a liposomal product, but some products do contain lecithin when analyzed. The particle size, the method of production, and the material itself are important. The phospholipids must not be hydroxylated or hydrogenated and must be as pure as possible. Liposomal vitamin C uses phosphatidylcholine derived from non-GMO sunflower lecithin. Phosphatidylcholine is preferred because it is one of the major phospholipids in all cell membranes. How do we know that liposomal delivery is superior to other forms for delivering nutrients to cells and tissues? Enhanced absorption, improved bioavailability, and increased utilization - these are the main advantages liposomes have over other forms of supplementation. But there are more to consider than just these three. In particular, the liposomal form is better tolerated, making high-dose supplements easier and more effective to use. Vitamin C is highly acidic, which can cause indigestion, diarrhea, and other unpleasant side effects when taken in large doses. Liposomal vitamin C contains phospholipids that act as a barrier to ascorbic acid through the digestive tract, making it virtually gastrointestinal.
