What is liposomal vitamin C?
The term "liposomal" means that the nutrient is surrounded by microscopic lipid beads called liposomes. Liposomes are used to coat nutrients such as vitamin C for better absorption by the body. Why? Because sometimes your body needs help.
How well you absorb (aka bioavailability) of regular vitamin C depends on a variety of factors, such as the rate of absorption in the gut and reabsorption in the kidneys. In addition, common oral supplement forms of vitamin C can only increase blood levels of the vitamin to a certain extent, even at very high doses.
Liposomes help protect vitamin C as it travels through the body's digestive system, improving absorption rates and helping to increase blood levels of the vitamin.
What are the benefits of liposomal vitamin C?
Taking vitamin C supplements is generally associated with many health benefits. But compared to non-liposomal forms, liposomal vitamin C is generally better absorbed and can increase vitamin C levels in the blood more effectively.
A 2020 study found that liposomal vitamin C 1.77 -times more bioavailable than other vitamin C supplements. This means you get more for your money when you buy Liposomal C.
Also, liposomal forms of nutrients can be easier on your gut, which can help reduce the risk of symptoms like bloating and diarrhea. (This is a known side effect in some people taking high doses of vitamin C.)
But while liposomal vitamin C is absorbed more efficiently and may be easier on the digestive tract, it still works the same way as non-liposomal vitamin C when it's in your body.
