Why develop a liposomal vitamin C?
The liposomal process involves encapsulating the vitamin in a liposome, a particle surrounded by lipids. This vitamin microencapsulation process is the one used in our ampoules.
The benefits of microencapsulation: When a dietary supplement is ingested, it must first pass from the mouth through the digestive system and finally be absorbed in the small intestine. During this process, digestive enzymes in the mouth and stomach, digestive acids, bile salts, and various intestinal flora break down the nutrients before they are finally metabolized by the liver and made available to the body. This entire process slows down and reduces the bioavailability of nutrients.
Microencapsulation brings together all the technologies allowing the coating or trapping of active ingredients in solid, liquid or gaseous form within individual particles whose size is between 1µm and 1000µm.
The advantages of this microencapsulation process are numerous, including: maximum protection of the active ingredient, particularly against oxidation, light, temperature or interaction with other components.
Vitamin C is a sensitive vitamin, and the microencapsulation process protects it. This allows the vitamin to pass through the digestive process without being affected by enzymatic attacks. The lipids it contains enhance its fusion with cells, which are also made of fats.
The liposomal form of Vitamin C will allow you to:
- Protect the vitamin against enzymatic attack.
- Reduce the risk of renal elimination through urine and remain in the blood longer.
- Facilitate assimilation into cells.
- All this for optimal bioavailability.
