Vitamin C

Liposomal vitamin C is better absorbed — 1.3 to 7.2 times — but three ceilings stop it being simply the best. What the evidence does and doesn't show.

Which brand of liposomal supplement is the best? There is no one answer. The three questions that separate a real liposome from a marketing label.

Liposomal vitamin C absorbs better than regular vitamin C in nine of ten trials. What the evidence supports, what it does not, and the dose where it matters.

What is the best way to take liposomal vitamin C? Split the dose, keep it cold, stay consistent. What the absorption research supports, and what it doesn't. 

What exactly is liposomal vitamin C? The same ascorbic acid in a phospholipid shell — and a category of formulations, not one technology.

What does taking liposomal vitamin C do? It raises blood levels 1.3 to 7.2 times — and your cells by far less. What the research shows, and where it stops.

What does liposomal do to your body? How liposomes cross the gut wall, what the research shows about absorption, and what happens to the shell itself.

No Canadian body ranks liposomal vitamin C brands. Five checks separate a serious product from a marketing one: four on the label, one you have to ask for.

Intravenous is fastest, but among oral doses smaller is 
quicker: 30mg peaks in 25-50 minutes, 500mg takes four hours. Liposomal 
absorbs more, not sooner.
