Vitals Liposomal vitamin C 250ml
1000 mg vitamin C as a liquid- easily absorbed
- easy to swallow
- without synthetic ingredients (flavours)
- contains a small amount of alcohol to stabilize the product
Liposomal Vitamin C from Vitals contains 1000 mg of liposomal vitamin C per 5 ml of liquid, in three different forms (sodium ascorbate, potassium ascorbate and ascorbic acid). Liposomes are fat globules with a phospholipid bilayer, within which the active substance is located. Cell membranes also consist of a phospholipid bilayer, which allows the active substances from the liposomes to be optimally absorbed into the cell.

In the body, the blood level of vitamin C is determined by the strict regulation of intestinal absorption, cellular transport and excretion.
The absorption of vitamin C in the gut is mainly via active transport, using a sodium-dependent vitamin C transporter (SVCT1). This is done efficiently until a certain concentration is reached and after that the uptake does not increase further because all transporters are saturated.
The form in which vitamin C is offered to the body can make a difference in the absorption. Vitamin C in liposomal form is not dependent on the sodium-dependent vitamin C transporter and therefore has a higher bioavailability..
Effect of vitamin C
Vitamin C is mainly known for its positive influence on immunity. Which is correct: vitamin C helps the immune system, especially during heavy physical exertion or in cold environments. But this vitamin is involved in many processes.
Vitamin C functions in the body as a water-soluble antioxidant and plays an important role as a free-radical scavenger. It is part of a complex system of the body's own antioxidants, dietary antioxidants and antioxidant enzymes with interdependencies and interactions.
In that capacity, it is involved in the protection of DNA, proteins and fats against oxidative damage and thus contributes to the maintenance of healthy cells and tissues.
In addition, vitamin C is needed as a coenzyme for three different enzymes that are involved in the production of collagen (the most common building material in the human body). Normal collagen formation is important for the bones, cartilage, gums, skin, tendons and blood vessels, among other things.
Vitamin C is indispensable for two enzymes involved in the production of carnitine, which is necessary for the transport of long-chain fatty acids to the mitochondria for energy production. In this way, vitamin C supports the energy level. It can also help with fatigue.
Many people also do not obtain enough iron through their diet, especially women of childbearing age, pregnant women and (young) children. Vitamin C ensures that iron from the diet is better absorbed. This concerns non-heme iron, which is found in plant and animal foods.
Vitamin C does not affect the absorption of heme iron, which is only found in animal products. About 90% of the iron in food is non-heme iron. Only 10% consists of heme iron. As an electron donor, vitamin C can convert oxidized vitamin E back into the active, reduced form, thus maintaining the function of vitamin E.
Humans cannot synthesize vitamin C themselves and are completely dependent on food for the vitamin C supply.
