Liposomal Vitamin c Enhanced with Kaffir Lime Extract (20 sachets)

Vitamin C is an essential vitamin, which means our body cannot produce it. It is water-soluble and found in many fruits and vegetables, including oranges, strawberries, kiwi fruit, bell peppers, broccoli, kale, and spinach. The recommended daily intake for vitamin C is 75 mg for women and 90 mg for men. While it is commonly advised to get your vitamin C intake from foods, many people turn to supplements to meet their needs. Encapsulated Technology makes Liposomal Vitamin C up to 2x more bioavailable than regular Vitamin C. Why use liposomes to deliver vitamin C? Compared with vitamin C infusion, oral vitamin C administration is typically less effective, in part due to inferior vitamin C bioavailability. Following ingestion, subsequent vitamin C bioavailability is largely determined by rates of intestinal absorption and further influenced by renal reabsorption and excretion. Infusion of vitamin C is an impractical mode of administration for most of the general public and also carries a risk of infection and discomfort. Accordingly, oral consumption of vitamin C encapsulated in liposomes is of great interest. Liposomes are manufactured microscopic, hollow spherical vesicles composed of a lipid bilayer. When loaded with vitamin C, liposomes are a very effective method of supplement delivery. Vitamin C that is surrounded by a layer of fat will help the vitamin C to enter our cells from the bloodstream. This is crucial because Vitamin C is water soluble. Liposomes are designed to easily pass into your cells so vitamin C does not get excreted in urine. Once the vitamin C has been delivered, the liposomes break down and our body will utilize the MCTs to make new cells.
