Description of Liposomal Vitamin C
Liposomal Vitamin C is a novel delivery system for ascorbic acid, encapsulated within microscopic phospholipid spheres known as liposomes. These liposomes, typically colorless to slightly yellow, range in size from 30-100 nanometers. Liposomal Vitamin C can appear as a fine powder or suspension in a liquid, depending on the formulation, and is usually odorless. Due to the hygroscopic nature of liposomes, proper storage in a sealed container is essential to prevent clumping or degradation. The texture of liposomal Vitamin C powder can vary from smooth and flour-like to slightly gritty, while liquid formulations have a smooth, syrupy consistency. Chemically, liposomal Vitamin C consists of ascorbic acid molecules enclosed within a phospholipid bilayer. The phospholipids create a protective barrier, shielding the ascorbic acid from degradation and enhancing its absorption in the body. This unique delivery system allows for controlled release of vitamin C, potentially improving its bioavailability and reducing gastrointestinal irritation compared to traditional oral vitamin C supplements.
