Feature Summary

Liposomal Vitamin C supports the bioavailability of this essential antioxidant, known to support antioxidant activity, maintain healthy immune function, and support healthy collagen synthesis.* Vitamin C is a cofactor for prolyl and lysyl hydroxylases, enzymes that support healthy collagen development in joints and bones.* Vitamin C intake may help maintain normal bone mineral density already within the normal range.*1,2 Vitamin C supports healthy iron absorption, helps maintain the stability of vitamin E and folic acid, and helps clear cellular debris.*3,4 Although rare, certain populations may be at risk for deficiency, including older adults and tobacco smokers.*4 Vitamin C supplementation not only supports healthy immune function, but it also helps maintain respiratory wellness.*5 Supplementation may also help support normal liver function and maintain blood glucose levels already within the normal range.*6,7

Liposomes encapsulate vitamin C in a phospholipid bilayer, bypassing typical limitations of absorption and maintaining ascorbic acid levels already within the normal range.*8,9 Liposomal forms of vitamin C have been shown to nearly double the bioavailability while retaining the safety of standard ascorbic acid supplementation.*10

Contraindications

Vitamin C supplementation is contraindicated in blood disorders such as thalassemia, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, sickle cell disease, and hemochromatosis. Vitamin C should be used cautiously in oxalate nephropathy or nephrolithiasis, as acidification by ascorbic acid increases the chances of precipitation of cysteine, urate, and oxalate stones, particularly in men.4,11

Drug Interactions

No known contraindications. Some medications deplete vitamin C, and supplementation may mitigate adverse effects, including aspirin, indomethacin, oral contraceptives, tetracyclines, and corticosteroids.4
