The Remarkable Antioxidant Benefits of Liposomal Vitamin C

The Remarkable Antioxidant Benefits of Liposomal Vitamin C

 

Most people know that vitamin C is essential for proper immune function. It can protect against immune system deficiencies, cardiovascular disease, pregnancy health complications, eye disease, skin wrinkling…the list goes on. But did you know that the body cannot produce this essential vitamin on its own? It also doesn’t store vitamin C, making it critical to consider supplementation. Since you can’t rely on your body to produce, store or synthesize this vitamin, you must get it from your food or from dietary supplements. One great source is a recently developed, remarkable option: liposomal vitamin C.

Despite the advantages of taking a multivitamin or getting your vitamin C through various nutritious foods, liposomal vitamin C offers another way to absorb this immune-boosting vitamin, and it may be the most beneficial. It’s a lipid-encapsulated form of vitamin C that is shuttled without digestion into the bloodstream, right into the cells of the body. This makes it the most absorbable form of the vitamin available.

“Fall is on it’s way and flu season is near. Vitamin C is necessary.”

Summer’s coming to an end and fall is on its way, which means flu season is near. Now’s the perfect time to educate yourself about vitamin C and learn about the best way to boost your immunity and support healthy aging. In this article, we’ll take a deep dive into liposomal supplements, the benefits of liposomal vitamin C and some of the ways to incorporate more vitamin C-rich foods into your eating regimen by following the Hallelujah Diet.

What is a liposomal supplement?
So what exactly are liposomes? According to News Medical Life Sciences, a liposome is a tiny vesicle made up of cell membrane material. The membrane is a cultivation of phospholipids, which have heads that are attracted to water and tail ends that repels water. Under the right circumstances these phospholipid bilayers can be made into small circular vesicles—liposomes. These liposomes are most commonly filled with vitamins or medicine to aid the treatment of certain cancers, diseases and illnesses. When the liposome enters the body, the supplement doesn’t release until it reaches the appropriate tissue. But when it does, it happens almost instantaneously.

Liposomal Vitamin C uses liposomal encapsulation technology to disperse vitamin C into small vesicles of phospholipids. The phospholipid’s polar head dissolves in water and its two long hydrocarbon tails dissolve in fat. Large multi-layered vesicles form spontaneously when a solution of phosphatidylcholine is dissolved in water. Whatever is dissolved in the water is what ends up on the inside of the vesicles. Essentially, the process of using the phospholipids allows the vitamin C to be shuttled into the bloodstream without digestion, making its way into the cells of the body immediately. This makes liposomal delivery the most efficient way to absorb and obtain vitamin C in your system.

Liposomal vitamin C vs. traditional oral vitamin and IV therapy
While many often resort to using a water soluble vitamin in traditional tablet or pill form for a dose of vitamin C, these options are the least beneficial. That’s because they are absorbed through the digestive system. This option doesn’t only take the most time to absorb, but it can also lead to digestive discomfort.

Another option is intravenous infusion,  which distributes vitamin C in a liquid form directly into the bloodstream through a vein. IV therapy offers higher doses of vitamin C than a traditional tablet supplement, which allows higher levels of the vitamin to reach the blood in a shorter period of time.  Someone considering IV therapy vitamin C is most likely living with an illness or condition. This option may be effective for a quick immunity boost – however, it may be unappealing to someone who doesn’t want an injection.

Similar to IV distribution, liposomal vitamin C offer a fast distribution and absorption of the vitamin, but doesn’t require injection.

Vitamins in capsule form go through the digestive system, which may cause issues later on.

What are the benefits of liposomal vitamin C?
Liposomal vitamin C is advantageous in many ways. As noted by the Natural Medicine Journal, with the liposomal option, users will noticed increased bioavailability, increased cellular delivery, as well as improved oral uptake and lymphatic absorption to ensure the best possible consumption of the essential vitamin. In our past research, discussed in “Liposomal Vitamin C Benefits: Why It’s More Effective Than Other Forms Of Vitamin C“, we discussed some of the other health benefits of liposomal vitamin C. Those include:

• Bypassing the digestive process for increased bioavailability. Unlike vitamin C capsule, liposomal vitamin C goes straight into the bloodstream for fast absorption.
• Utilizing lipids that are easily absorbed into the body’s cells. The phospholipids used in the liposomal delivery absorb the quickest.
• Preventing the upset stomach that is common with pills, powders and tablets. Common intake options of vitamin C are linked to digestive issues, especially when doses are too high.
• Delivering nutrients directly to cells. Allowing you to receive an immediate immunity boost.
• Protecting against free radicals. Research shows that vitamin C is a positive component of the antioxidant protection found in cells and tissues.
• Providing the ultimate immune system support. Your defense systems will receive an immediate boost after a dose of liposomal vitamin C, making it an ideal option for consumers who are ill or dealing with a disease or chronic condition.
• Ensuring a convenient approach for consumer. You don’t have to wait for vitamin C capsules to digest, and there’s no need to resort to IV therapy on multiple occasions to receive a proper dose of vitamin C. The liposomal option reaches the bloodstream immediately, offering the most convenient option in a time of need.

With so many benefits, there’s no telling why anyone would choose vitamin C capsules or intravenous therapy to fuel their systems. Liposomal vitamin C introduces a remarkable way to ensure your body receives the essential nutrient and antioxidant to thrive.

The proof is in the observation
At the beginning of the year, Kelly Goyen, the co-founder and CEO of Empirical Labs took a deep dive into explaining what liposomes are and how advantageous liposomal technology can be during our webinar entitled “How Liposomal Technology Can Optimize Nutrition.” He shared the recent research by the team at Empirical Labs and Professor Christopher Bell, Ph.D., at Colorado State University.

The participants were made up of seven females and three males, all of whom took the liposomal vitamin C product followed by a placebo. When the participants ingested the liposomes, the researchers found that the vitamin maintained a useful level for a longer period of time. The researchers also found that blood levels were higher than predicted, proving that liposomal technology was even more beneficial than anticipated.

But this wasn’t the only positive finding in the study. The researchers performed an experimen to mock what occurs in the body when someone experiences a heart attack. Without liposomal vitamin C, there’s no protection against oxidative damage that occurs due to blocked blood vessels. This was proven with the placebo. When the researchers tested the liposomal vitamin C, oxidative stress on the blood vessels was reduced. This ensures further damage after a heart attack can potentially be avoided with supplementation.

Vitamin C from food sources
While incredibly advantageous, liposomal vitamin C shouldn’t be the only thing you prioritize when taking care of your body – especially when experiencing an ailing disease or condition. Your diet has a large impact on your immune system. Specifically, refined sugars can destroy the strong defense mechanism your body has built. Dr. Agatha Thrash of the Uchee Pines Institute in Alabama explained how harmful a simple candy bar can be:

“Six teaspoons of sugar (the amount of sugar in a single candy bar) reduces the ability of these white blood cells to destroy unfriendly bacteria by 25 percent; twelve teaspoons (the amount of sugar in a single can of soda pop) reduces the ability of these white blood cells to destroy unfriendly bacteria by 60 percent, and twenty-four teaspoons (just half the average daily intake of refined sugar), reduces the ability of these white blood cells to destroy unfriendly bacteria by 92 percent,” she wrote.

Oranges may not be the best food source of vitamin C.

That’s what makes removing refined sugars and reestablishing your immune system so important. With the right mixture of fruits and vegetables, you can get your defenses back to their strongest state. Oranges are most commonly considered the best option for boosting your immune system – however, there are various other options that have even more vitamin C than the citrus fruit – broccoli being one of them! Consider adding the following foods to your diet for vitamin C:

• Brussels sprouts
• Cauliflower
• Green and red peppers
• Spinach and other dark, leafy greens
• Winter squash

Try the Hallelujah Diet and supplement with Liposomal Vitamin C
By following the Hallelujah Diet, you can fuel your body with an abundance of vitamin C-rich foods like the ones stated above. However, vitamin C with liposomal encapsulation ensures a faster, better delivery of the vitamin. To strengthen your immunity, support cardiovascular health, prevent free-radical damage and ensure healthy aging, we strongly suggest supplementing your plant-based eating regimen with Hallelujah Diet Liposomal Vitamin C.

Suggested usage of Hallelujah Diet Liposomal Vitamin C: Because of the superiority of the liposomes, one serving a day – 1,000 mg of vitamin C – is the ideal maintenance dose.  If you’re experiencing a high vitamin C depletion, such as when you’re ill or developing a viral infection, four to six servings a day is an excellent way to keep your immune system conditioned.  In situations of vitamin C depletion caused by chronic diseases, two to three servings a day can optimize vitamin C levels.

To take Hallelujah Diet Liposomal Vitamin C, mix one serving in one ounce of water or juice.
