What Is Liposomal Vitamin C and Why Choose It?

Vitamin C is a vital nutrient your body needs every day, playing a key role in immune function, collagen synthesis, and antioxidant protection. However, not all vitamin C supplements are the same. Standard ascorbic acid is water-soluble, meaning your body can only absorb so much at once, with excess quickly excreted.

Liposomal vitamin C offers a more advanced approach. The vitamin C is encapsulated in tiny lipid spheres (liposomes) that mimic the body's own cell membranes, allowing it to be transported more efficiently through the digestive system and into your cells. The result is enhanced absorption and retention compared to traditional supplements. NOW Foods Liposomal Vitamin C undertake this cutting-edge technology to deliver a potent dose in a convenient, fat-soluble capsule.

Why does this matter? Better absorption means your body can actually undertake more of the vitamin C you take, supporting your immune system, collagen production, and overall wellness. If you're looking for a vitamin C supplement that works smarter, not harder, liposomal is the way to go.

When selecting a vitamin C supplement, consider the following factors:

• Form: Liposomal forms offer enhanced absorption, while ascorbic acid is standard and affordable.

• Purity: Look for non-GMO, vegan, and allergen-free certifications. NOW Foods prioritises quality and transparency.
