Vitamin C is essential for health, but the body cannot produce it. Many supplements fail to deliver adequate levels because they break down in the digestive tract before reaching the bloodstream. Core Med Science Liposomal Vitamin C 1000mg Liquid uses advanced liposomal technology to protect the nutrient and carry it directly into your system, maximising bioavailability for superior absorption.
Superior Absorption with Liposomal Technology
The challenge with standard vitamin C tablets or capsules is their limited absorption. They must survive stomach acid and enzymatic breakdown, which reduces how much actually enters the blood. Liposomal technology encapsulates vitamin C in a phospholipid layer, much like a protective bubble. This layer resembles cell membranes, allowing the nutrient to pass through the digestive tract and be absorbed intact.
Core Med Science uses sunflower lecithin for the liposomal shell—a plant-based alternative to soya lecithin. This formulation is gentle on the stomach, minimising the digestive discomfort some people experience with high-dose ascorbic acid. Independent tests show that this liposomal delivery system provides up to 80% more absorption than standard vitamin C supplements.
Premium Ingredients and Quality Assurance
Core Med Science sources its vitamin C from Quali-C, a premium ascorbic acid manufactured in Scotland. Quali-C is renowned for its purity and consistency, identical to the vitamin C found naturally in fruits and vegetables. The sunflower lecithin comes from non-GM sunflowers grown in Spain.
All ingredients are tested to be free from common allergens. This supplement is non-GM, alcohol-free, and does not contain shellfish, wheat, dairy, eggs, tree nuts, soya, fish, or peanuts. It is manufactured in a GMP-certified facility under strict quality control to ensure reliability.
Key Benefits of Liposomal Vitamin C
Vitamin C plays several roles in the body, and liposomal delivery may enhance its effectiveness. Based on scientific evidence, the following benefits are established:
-
Immune support: Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
-
Collagen formation: Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation, essential for skin, joints, and connective tissues.
-
Antioxidant protection: Vitamin C contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
-
Energy metabolism: Vitamin C contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, helping to reduce fatigue.
-
Blood vessel health: Vitamin C contributes to normal function of blood vessels as part of collagen formation.
These benefits are approved by the European Food Safety Authority for foods and food supplements.
How to Uses and Recommended Dosage
The recommended serving is 5ml (one teaspoon) per day, providing 1000mg of liposomal vitamin C. Each 148ml bottle contains 30 servings. Shake well before uses, as the liposomal formula may separate naturally. You can take it directly or mix it into a small amount of water or juice. For optimal absorption, take it on an empty stomach, whilst it can be taken with food if preferred.
Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration is not required but may help maintain freshness after opening.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this vitamin C suitable for vegans? Yes, the formula contains no animal-derived ingredients. The liposomal shell is made from sunflower lecithin, and the vitamin C is synthetic ascorbic acid, which is vegan-friendly.
Can I take this with other supplements? Generally, yes. Vitamin C pairs well with other nutrients like zinc and vitamin D. However, avoid taking it at the same time as high-dose iron supplements, as vitamin C increases iron absorption.
How does this compare to IV vitamin C therapy? Core Med Science was developed by Dr. Bogdan Popa, who also runs an IV nutritional therapy clinic. The liposomal oral form is designed to provide similar nutrients in a high-absorption format without the need for needles. It offers a convenient alternative for daily maintenance.
What is the taste like? The liquid has a slightly tangy, citrus-like flavour due to the vitamin C. Some users find it pleasant; others prefer to mix it with water or juice.
Safety and Important Information
Core Med Science Liposomal Vitamin C is intended for adults. Consult your health care professional before uses if you are pregnant, nursing, or have a medical condition. Do not exceed the recommended dosage. Vitamin C is water-soluble; excess amounts are typically excreted, but high doses may cause digestive upset in some individuals. The liposomal form is designed to minimise this risk.
Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet. Always read the label and follow the directions for uses.
