Lypo-Spheric® Vitamin C

DETAILS

LivOn Labs’ highly bioavailable, high-dose Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C is the daily supplement you need to develop total body resilience and immunity - from the inside out. It has been clinically shown to support the immune system and deliver long-lasting antioxidant power to the blood and cells, helping you to achieve optimal health.

Most forms of oral vitamin C supplements – including tablets, capsules, powders, and liquids - as well as the vitamin C from our diets are not processed and absorbed efficiently by our bodies. The vitamin C is then unable to be transferred in its entirety into your bloodstream and cells; when you take 1,000mg or more of typical oral vitamin C supplements, or consume food with over 1,000mg of vitamin C, more than half of it is passed as waste by your body. No so with LivOn Labs. This supplement utilises the most advanced absorption technology - liposomal delivery or liposomal encapsulation technology - for maximum nutrient absorption and easy digestion. Liposomes are micro-phospholipid spheres, or small pockets of fat cells, and in the case of LivOn Labs are made from essential phospholipids that protect the vitamin C from destruction in your digestive system. These liposomes encapsulate the nutrients from this supplement and transport them to locations in the body where they are most needed - the bloodstream and cells.

BENEFITS

This supplement is a great source of choline, an essential nutrient that many people are deficient in because our livers can only produce a small amount naturally. Choline is vital for various bodily functions and processes, including healthy liver functioning, brain development, cell structure and communication, DNA synthesis, muscle movement, nervous system health, as well as fat transport and metabolism. It is also a vital nutrient during pregnancy, as inadequate choline consumption can raise the risk of neural tube defects in unborn babies and other pregnancy complications. Choline deficiency is particularly harmful to the liver, as it can lead to fat and cholesterol buildup. Choline is found in its highest quantity mainly in animal products such as eggs, salmon, and beef and chicken liver - though it is also found in smaller amounts in broccoli, hole grains, apples and nuts - so this supplement is a great way to boost your choline consumption as a vegan or vegetarian.

Each packet of Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C also contains 1,000mg of the essential phospholipids, which compose the structure of our cell membranes and are vital building blocks that our bodies need to function properly. Chief among them is Phosphatidylcholine or PC, one of the most important phospholipids which is required for many vital functions - including maintaining healthy cardiovascular, reproductive, immune, and nervous systems. Phospholipids in general are known to:

• Protect and support organelles, namely the mitochondria
• Support brain health, cognitive function, and neurotransmission
• Enhance acetylcholine (a key neurotransmitter that plays a role in overall brain and muscle function, gut and nervous system health, and mood regulation)
• Facilitate early brain development (starting during pregnancy)
• Strengthen the lining of the gut (gut mucosa) and the gut-brain axis
• Support healthy liver function

Overall benefits of Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C:

• Supports the immune system (aiding in the production and functioning of white blood cells or lymphocytes and phagocytes)
• Aids in collagen production for healthier skin, muscles and joints, and strengthens the skin’s barriers; may aid in wound healing, muscle repair and gum health
• Increases blood antioxidant levels and activity; high antioxidant content
• Aids in exercise recovery and tolerance
• Supports healthy cholesterol and blood pressure maintenance (reducing risk of heart disease)
• Supports healthy circulation
• Supports liver and blood cell health
• Supports overall brain health and cognitive function
• Aids in cell membrane fortification and neurotransmitter production
• Protects cells from damage by free radicals (i.e., prevents oxidative stress and therefore reduces risk of chronic disease)
• Helps to improve iron absorption from diet (preventing iron-deficiency/anaemia)
• May reduce blood uric acid levels (helping to prevent gout attacks)
