Vitamin C (Liposomal)

Also known as Vitamin C

What is Vitamin C (Liposomal)?

Encapsulated vitamin C in phospholipid liposomes for dramatically improved absorption and reduced GI side effects.

How Vitamin C (Liposomal) works

Liposomal encapsulation protects vitamin C from enzymatic degradation in the gut and enables direct cellular uptake via endocytosis, resulting in plasma levels approaching intravenous delivery.

Benefits & uses

Vitamin C (Liposomal) half-life

Longer tissue retention than standard ascorbic acid

Vitamin C (Liposomal) side effects

Significantly fewer GI side effects than standard oral vitamin C. Expensive per dose.

Minimal GI effects compared to non-liposomal form
Very safe — same safety profile as standard vitamin C at equivalent doses
Well tolerated
GI upset/loose stool at high doses (>2g)
