Liposomal Vitamin C

“Liposomes are manufactured microscopic, hollow spherical vesicles composed of a lipid bilayer. When loaded with pharmaceuticals and/or dietary supplements, liposomes are a very effective method of drug/supplement delivery. When ingested, the pharmacokinetic properties of liposome intestinal absorption override the usual absorption pattern of the encapsulated drug. That is, the delivery of a drug/supplement with a typically slow or regulated pattern of absorption, such as vitamin C, may be accelerated when encapsulated within a liposome.”

• Cellg8 liposomal powder protects the active nutrient from being degraded by stomach acid. It also protects the stomach from anything in the liposome that may cause irritation in the stomach.
• After the liposomes pass into the small intestine they plump up and are ready to be absorbed into the bloodstream.
• The liposomes go where they’re needed in the body and release the nutrients they were carrying.
• In summary, since the nutrients are better protected against degradation, more of them are able to be absorbed by the body.
• Think of the liposome like a car and a person inside is the nutrient. The person needs to reach a destination but is travelling through some harsh weather conditions. The person can get to their destination without the car, but he/she will face the harsh weather conditions head-on and potentially get harmed on the way to their destination. But they will be protected from the weather if they travel inside of a car. The liposome protects and transports the nutrient as it reaches its intended destination.
