Liposomal vitamin C, it has all the qualities of a queen.

"Vitamin C but she won't say anything... "Naturopathic joke aside, everyone knows about vitamin C but few know it in liposomal form. During the winter months, pharmacy counters are full of more or less natural products promoting the merits of vitamin C cures. Only, it is not the liposomal vitamin C... Find out why you should adopt it. 


Vitamin C fragile attention!

Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that is sensitive to heat and light. It is also called ascorbic acide and is destroyed at 60 degrees and above. 

Vitamin C is therefore a fragile nutrient that quickly oxidizes upon contact with air or light. Completely destroyed from 60 degrees as mentioned above, it is then recommended to favor a soft cooking, at low temperature and to eat raw fruits and vegetables as often as possible. However, it must be recognized that the nutritional quality of food, whether conventionally grown or organic, is not as valuable as it once was. 

Occasional supplementation in the form of a cure is not to be overlooked. 


Why take a vitamin C cure 

  • it participates in the synthesis of collagen and red blood cells and contributes to the good functioning of the immune system.

  • it also plays a role in the metabolism of iron by facilitating its absorption. So, when you do an iron treatment, it is important to combine it with vitamin C.

  • Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that fights against the harmful effects of free radicals from pollution, tobacco, sunlight, stress, diet etc...

 Vitamin C, official recommendations

The European authorities recommend a daily intake of 75 mg for a woman and 90 mg for a man. People who smoke have an increased need for vitamin C of up to 2g per day. 

A deficiency in vitamin Cis rare. When this is proven, it causes scurvy. In contrast, a mild hypovitaminosis is characterized by:

  • a state of fatigue 

  • weight loss 

  • headaches 

  • a decrease in the immune system

  • bleeding problems

There is no such thing as an overdose of vitamin C. Indeed, it is soluble and is naturally evacuated in the urine.

Liposomal vitamin C for optimal absorption

Vitamin C is water soluble. In contrast,liposomal vitamin C is vitamin C encapsulated in a fat particle. This makes it completely fat-soluble and therefore optimized for absorption by the intestinal mucosa. Furthermore, the liposomes will cross cell membranes allowing the vitamin C to pass with them into the very heart of the cell.

Liposomal vitamin C has the advantage of gradual release.

Thus, the liposome format is to be preferred to take full advantage of all the potential of theascorbic acid


How to choose your liposomal vitamin C

Before purchasing your liposomal vitamin C, it is important to look at the origin and quality of the phospholipids used to encapsulate the active molecule. Of course, avoid synthetic products. 

Next, learn about the manufacturing process. The laboratories concerned with offering a quality product do not hide and generally praise the merits of their processes. 

Liposomal vitamin C liquid is preferred over other dosage forms. The bottle is to be kept in a cool place for the duration of your treatment. However, we must not lie to ourselves, it has a taste that does not please everyone... Thus, some laboratories use natural additives such as stevia to improve its flavor.


Liposomal vitamin C is more expensive but more effective. 

It should be recognized that liposomal vitamin C is often more expensive. This is because of its slightly more complex manufacturing process but also because you don't need to take a lot of it to make it effective. In the end and from a financial standpoint, it's worth it. 


To conclude with liposomal vitamin C

If you want to do a vitamin C cure, as a naturopath I can only advise you to choose the liposomal form for its optimal absorption. The investment is worth the results when you choose a quality product. We are in autumn, it's time to test!
