Liposomal
vitamin C
Somewhere
along our evolutionary line, our primate ancestors lost the ability to
manufacture vitamin C also known as ascorbic acid. Scientists theorize that self-made vitamin C
was no longer necessary for most primates due to the high intake of the vitamin
through daily intake of fruits and vegetation.
We therefore must rely on dietary or supplemental C. Unfortunately, one of the problems with the
powders, tablets, and capsules of ascorbic acid is that very little of it is
absorbed into the bloodstream. Taking
higher doses assures that most of the vitamin C stays in the gut and is
eliminated through the GI tract.
Liposomal
vitamin C is the same ingredient packaged in a delivery system that assures
most of the active C is absorbed. Liposomes
are microscopic bubbles; their outer coating is a lipid layer that allows easy
entrance through the intestinal lining just like dietary fats. In addition, liposomal C does not raise
oxalate levels in the blood thus eliminating the increased risk of kidney
stones.
