Liposomal Vitamin C: Most Powerful Form of Vitamin C to Help Your Body Fight Disease and Stay Healthy
Vitamin C is one of the most widely recognized and used antioxidants in the world. This antioxidant plays a critical role in helping the immune system, joints and arteries heal and function properly.
Liposomal vitamin C is a technological breakthrough in nutrient assimilation and offers incredible health benefits.
Liposomal vitamin C delivers vitamin C to the body by mouth using liposomes. It’s the most powerful form of vitamin C. It’s far superior to vitamin C tablets, powders and even intravenous vitamin C in many ways.
But what exactly are liposomes? How do they work? And most importantly... how can liposomal vitamin C help you fight disease and stay in optimal health?
Much of our physiology is based on the movement of electrons from one compound to another. Unstable molecules that are missing an electron are called "free radicals" and they are catabolic to the body. These free radicals are formed in a cycle called oxidative stress that creates damage and instability in cells, tissues and organs in the body.
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that acts to donate an electron to neutralize free radicals and restore peace and harmony to the body.
Vitamin C plays an important role in the health and function of the immune cells. White blood cells depend upon vitamin C in order to survive and withstand the attack of pathogens and free radicals.
Vitamin C also plays an important role as an anti-histamine and reduces inflammatory conditions associated with colds, fevers, flu’s and allergies.
Vitamin C also plays an important role in the production of collagen which is the major constituent in ligaments, bones, discs, tendons and skin.
High dose vitamin C has been shown to improve the healing process of burns, cuts, wounds, sprains/strains and broken bones.
It is important for the health of the eyes and many experts believe that as little as 1,000 mg of liposomal vitamin C daily may stop cataracts all together.
Environmental toxins damage cells and intracellular organelles leading to altered cellular metabolism and genetic mutations. Vitamin C has powerful antioxidant properties that protect against the oxidative stress against the cell.
Vitamin C and Heart Disease: Vitamin C helps to protect the arterial walls throughout the body. The blood vessels that are most important and under the most stress are the coronary arteries that feed the heart muscle. Vitamin C helps reduce infections and other forms of oxidative stress that affect these blood vessels. It also prevents the oxidation of cholesterol in the bloodstream.
Vitamin C also improves lung function and overall oxygenation within the body. Asthmatics tend to have a higher need for vitamin C and doses of 2000 mg per day lessen the body’s production of histamine and lung associated inflammation.
Vitamin C also improves blood sugar stability which is particularly important for individuals with heart disease and diabetes. When blood sugar is elevated and not properly monitored in the body the sugar molecules bind to proteins in the body and form advanced glycolytic end products (AGE’s).
These AGE’s create rampant amounts of tissue damaging oxidative stress in the body. Dosages of 1,000-3,000 mg per day drives down AGE formation and improves circulation and tissue oxygenation.
High doses of vitamin C are even more important when large cancerous growths already exist within the body. Oral vitamin C does not directly attack cancer but it helps to keep the immune system strong and empowers it to destroy the cancer.
Best Delivery System for Vitamin C:
Much of our biological chemistry is based around water and fat solubility. Just as water and oil do not mix there are challenges involved with bringing a water soluble nutrient into a fat soluble matrix such as the cell membranes. This incompatibility leads to lower rates of nutrient uptake and utilization within the cell.
Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin and it doesn’t interact particularly efficiently with the cell membrane wall this is made up of fatty acids. Estimates are that oral vitamin C intake has a 20% absorption rate into the bloodstream with the other 80% accumulating in the colon. Oral vitamin C intake is also associated with unpleasant digestive complaints such as cramping and diarrhea because it draws water into the colon.
WHAT IS LIPOSOMAL VITAMIN C?
Liposomal Vitamin C uses liposomes to deliver vitamin C straight to the cells in your body. It offers the greatest potency and absorption.
In a nutshell, liposomes are microscopic pockets of fat called phospholipids. And phospholipids are a natural component of cell walls in the body.
When phospholipids mix with vitamin C, they form spheres or bubbles. And these bubbles encapsulate the vitamin C.
Liposomes are tiny “nano-size” fat soluble vehicles for carrying nutrients to the body’s cells. Dr Alec Banham, a hematologist at the Babraham Institute in Cambridge, UK discovered the liposomal technology. “Lipo” is Greek for fat while “soma” means body. These are a double layer of fatty materials which is similar to the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membranes in the body.
Liposomal vitamin C is packaged like a bodily cell so it passes through the digestive barrier and delivers the nutrient directly to the bloodstream. This has a much higher absorption rate with over 90% of the cells being bathed in vitamin C. This is even vastly superior to IV vitamin C which is an expensive but effective procedure that is done quite often in hospitals and alternative health clinics.
Liposomal vitamin C is also known as lypo-spheric vitamin C.
Liposomal technology is not new. It’s being around since the 1960’s and has continued to evolve over the last 50 years. And it's a very efficient delivery method for any water-soluble drug or nutrient.
HEALTH BENEFITS OF LIPOSOMAL VITAMIN C Phospholipids in liposomes have many health benefits.They contain a large amount of a substance called phosphatidylcholine (PC). And as you age, there is less PC in the cells of your body. Many critical functions of the body need enough PC.
This includes the cardiovascular, reproductive, immune, and nervous systems. And your muscles also need enough PC to contract and for elasticity.There are many scientific studies that prove the health benefits of phospholipids.
These health benefits are on top of the health benefits that vitamin C offers. (Levy, Curing the Incurable: Vitamin C, Infectious Diseases, and Toxins)
Antioxidant Anti-atherosclerotic Lower cholesterol Treat and prevent liver disease Treat and prevent cell membrane damage Protect against pancreatic damage Protect against gallstone formation Increase exercise tolerance
The most suitable source of phospholipids to make liposomes from a non-GMO soy or sunflower lecithin form.
The best carrier for liposomal vitamin C is phosphatidyl choline (PC) which helps to hold the liposomes together. Ideal ranges should be between 250-500 mg of PC per dose in a liposomal vitamin C formula.
IS LIPOSOMAL VITAMIN C BETTER THAN ALL OTHER FORMS?
Vitamin C In Liposomes Is More Effective. This means you need to take less ascorbic acid to have more benefits. For example, one gram of vitamin C in liposomes is equal to 5-8 grams of ordinary ascorbic acid.
This is because the liposomes protect the vitamin C from the digestive tract. It means most of the vitamin C that you take reaches the blood and cells of your body.
This scientific study demonstrates the enhanced oral absorption of substances using liposomes: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16556538/?
Vitamin C In Liposomes Is More PowerfulSickness exists inside the cells in most ill persons. And liposomes deliver vitamin C inside the cells of the body.Liposomes can do this because their tissues are similar to the tissues of the cells in your body. This makes it easy for the liposomes to enter the cells and deliver the vitamin C.
Liposomal Vitamin C vs. Tablets and Powders
Tablets and capsules are convenient. And both powders and crystals can dissolve very easy in liquids. But you can only take so much vitamin C in these forms before you reach your bowel tolerance limit.
This is when you start to experience gas or discomfort. And still, no amount of vitamin C that you take in these forms will ever be as effective as liposomal vitamin C.
Other advantages of liposomal vitamin C over other oral forms are:No added fillers or other damaging ingredientsNo upset stomach when taking large amounts. Liposomes help the vitamin C bypass the digestive tractNo ethanol or other stabilisers that are unsuitable for kids Made without GMOs, or BPA
At first sight, vitamin C in liposomes may seem more expensive. And it does cost more per gram when you compare it to other forms of vitamin C taken by mouth, like tablets and powders. But the reality is that you need less vitamin C in liposomes to get more of the health benefits. And without the inconveniences that some of the other forms have.
IV Vitamin C versus Liposomal:
Some experts in the field of vitamin C such as Dr Thomas Levy, are saying that 6 grams of liposomal vitamin C is equivalent to 50 grams of intravenous vitamin C. Intravenous vitamin C elevates blood levels of vitamin C significantly higher, however, without the liposomal membrane this water soluble vitamin C is unable to efficiently penetrate the cell membrane.
Oral vitamin C acts as an antioxidant to reduce oxidative stress in the body. Intravenous vitamin C is a prooxidant drug that helps produce hydrogen peroxide which targets cancer cells while leaving normal cells unharmed. So it does have great benefits in advanced cancer patients.
The cell membrane blocks much of the vitamin C that is in the bloodstream from getting into the cell. The liposomal membrane is able to fuse with the same material and configuration that resides on cell walls. This results in a lower minimal necessary dosage and saves a tremendous amount of money and stress to the consumer.
Intravenous vitamin C treatments cost between $125 – $160 a session. Typical sessions last around two hours. A daily dosage of 6g of Liposomal vitamin C costs less than $5 per day and takes no time at all. It does not require a doctor or needles and is very easy and user friendly as we are all familiar with swallowing a pill.
Intravenous vitamin C is best when the illness or disease is severe and contained in the blood. An example is intoxication due to venomous snakebite or some forms of cancer.
Liposomal vitamin C has many advantages over intravenous: 1. It’s available to all people. Anybody can buy liposomal vitamin C, and have it delivered to their door.2. It's more convenient. You don't need expensive equipment or have specialized knowledge to take it. 3. It's less expensive. Gram per gram, liposomal vitamin C costs less than intravenous.4. It's more effective. Liposomes deliver the vitamin C inside the cells of the body. And without consuming energy (no transfer of electrons)
But, if you must select one or the other, liposomal vitamin C is superior to intravenous in most cases. (Levy, Curing the Incurable)
LIPOSOMAL VITAMIN C PROTOCOLS:
How do you take liposomal vitamin C? The best way to take vitamin C in liposomes is straight from the container. You can use a teaspoon. And then drink some water or juice to cut any undesired flavours
For an individual with no major symptoms or diagnosis that wants good general healthTake 1,000 mg 1 teaspoon per daily
Extreme Athlete or Individual with Major Health Challenges:Take 2,000 mg 3 times per day which 2 teaspoons 3x daily ( total 6 teaspoons)
Extreme Disease – Late Stage Infection, Cancer, Heart Disease, etc.Take 4,000 mg 2-3 x daily which is two teaspoons every 3 hours or 4 teaspoons 3 times per day.
With liposomal vitamin C, I like to be aggressive so I would take the upper dosage and if you notice any complications (such as high or low blood pressure, dizziness, nausea, cramping, diarrhea, etc.) try cutting down to the lower dosage and observe for any changes.
Contraindications:
One of the contraindications for vitamin C usage is a glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. This is an inherited condition where the individual doesn’t have the G6PD enzyme. G6PD helps the body to function normally and very high dose vitamin C infusions or very high dose liposomal vitamin D has a rare possibility of causing hemolytic anemia.
Other contraindications would include allergens to the liposomal compounds such as soy or sunflower lecithin. Individuals who are pregnant, young children and taking blood thinning medications should use smaller dosages.
Those with iron overload should understand that vitamin C increases the absorption of iron into the body, especially in the heart where it can cause problems. Ferritin levels should ideally be less than 80 and transferrin saturation should be less than 40%. If you are above those levels, donating blood would be a great idea. Also, wait 2-3 hours after taking the liposomal vitamin C before eating red meat or anything else that is high in iron if iron levels are high.
