Although many only think of vitamin C when sick with a cold or for illness prevention, the potential benefits and physiological importance of vitamin C go far beyond this. Vitamin C is important for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of the body, it supports cholesterol metabolism, is a cofactor in numerous enzymatic reactions, and is necessary for the synthesis of hormones and neurotransmitters.* As an antioxidant, vitamin C scavenges and neutralizes free radicals, and supports levels of vitamin E and glutathione.* Increased levels of oxidative stress may contribute to diseases such as depression, metabolic syndrome, autoimmunity, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, giving many reasons for consideration of antioxidant therapies.

With oral dosing of conventional vitamin C, absorption decreases with increasing dosage due to gastrointestinal saturation. The liposomal delivery form offsets that loss and enables high-level dosing without intravenous therapy.* Sodium ascorbate, a mineral salt of ascorbic acid (sourced from corn) is the form of vitamin C found in this liposomal formula. Buffered forms of vitamin C such as this are generally better tolerated than regular ascorbic acid supplements by those with gastrointestinal sensitivity.*
