Liposomal Vitamin C

What Is Liposomal Vitamin C?

Vitamin C dissolves in water. Cell membranes are built from fat. Liposomal Vitamin C is formulated around that contrast: the vitamin is carried with lipids instead of on its own. It uses PureWay-C, ascorbic acid combined with fatty acids from rice bran, with phospholipids from sunflower lecithin, at 1,000 mg of vitamin C per serving.

How It Works in the Body

A liposome is a sphere made of phospholipid. Phospholipids have a water-loving head and two fat-loving tails, so in water they line up and close into a shell around whatever sits in the middle. That is the same architecture as a cell membrane.

PureWay-C adds a second lipid element by binding the ascorbic acid with rice bran fatty acids. Once the vitamin is loose in the body it behaves like any other vitamin C: it donates electrons, and it acts as the cofactor those collagen-building enzymes cannot work without.

What It Supports

• Skin and connective tissue: Vitamin C is a cofactor for collagen synthesis and supports the structure of skin.
• Immune function: It supports normal immune function, and white cells concentrate it from the blood.
• Antioxidant activity: By donating electrons, vitamin C supports the body's antioxidant defenses.
• Citrus bioflavonoids: They are part of the PureWay-C material itself, not a separate addition.

Who It May Suit

This suits people who would rather swallow a capsule than a large tablet, and anyone drawn to a lipid-carried form of the vitamin. The capsule is cellulose and the phospholipids come from sunflower rather than soy, so it works for vegans and for people avoiding soy.

Good To Know

Ascorbyl palmitate appears here too: that is vitamin C joined to palmitic acid, a fat-soluble version of the same molecule. Talk with your provider before use if you have had kidney stones or have an iron-overload condition, since vitamin C is broken down to oxalate and makes plant iron easier to absorb.
