By now we all know the importance of vitamin C. It is important for immune health, it helps with the normal functioning of the nervous system, collagen formation relies heavily on adequate levels, it contributes to our psychological functioning, and it is a powerful antioxidant, which helps to protect our cells from oxidative stress. However, a lot of vitamin C products on the market can be quite difficult to absorb and the excess is excreted through the urine leaving the body in short supply of the vital nutrient.
What are liposomes?
Liposomes are micro bubbles made from lipids which surround the molecule or substance to be delivered. In this case the molecule is vitamin C. The vitamin C in the liposomes is taken up by the digestive system and delivered into the bloodstream more efficiently.
Why is liposomal vitamin C superior?
The liposomes protect the vitamin C from breaking down in the harsh environment of the digestive system, and when they reach the small intestine, the liposomes are absorbed rapidly into the circulation. Once the liposomes arrive at the cells in your body, the phospholipid bilayers of the liposomes and cell membranes merge and the vitamin C is released into the cell.
With Somega Liposomal products the direct cell delivery of the vitamin C ensures that you absorb all the product, unlike some other forms of vitamin C. It means that you get the best every time.
