Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid or Ascorbate)
Vitamin C, also known as L-ascorbic acid or Ascorbate, is a well-known and widely recognized vitamin. It is commonly used to treat scurvy, a condition caused by vitamin C deficiency that leads to bleeding gums and other symptoms. Based on scientific evidence, vitamin C plays a crucial role in various bodily processes. It acts as a co-factor in growth and tissue repair mechanisms, particularly in the production of collagen—a type of protein that forms an essential component of bones, cartilage, muscles, and blood vessels.
Vitamin C is also vital in wound healing, enhancing the absorption of iron from food, and serving as a powerful antioxidant that helps slow down cellular aging and deterioration. Since the human body cannot produce vitamin C on its own, it must be obtained through dietary intake.
Recently, a new form of vitamin C known as Liposomal Vitamin C has been developed through scientific research. What exactly is Liposomal Vitamin C, and how does it differ from regular vitamin C? Let’s find out!
What is Liposomal Vitamin C?
Liposomal Vitamin C is a new and advanced formulation of Vitamin C developed by researchers to enhance absorption, reaching nearly 100%—comparable to intravenous Vitamin C injections but significantly safer. This innovation eliminates the risks associated with intravenous injections, such as blood vessel blockage and infections from needles.
Currently, Liposomal Vitamin C is highly popular in the United States and Japan, as it effectively overcomes the limitations of traditional Vitamin C, which is only absorbed at a rate of 40-50%, with the remainder being excreted through urine. This is why urine often appears more yellow than usual after consuming regular Vitamin C.
Traditional Vitamin C is water-soluble but not fat-soluble, making it highly susceptible to oxidation (reaction with oxygen). However, Liposomal Vitamin C is designed to overcome these limitations, allowing it to remain in the body for a longer period, ensuring maximum absorption and making it significantly more effective.
Benefits of Vitamin C
- Boosts the immune system – Helps prevent colds and flu, which is why many people have turned to Vitamin C supplements as a preventive measure against COVID-19.
- Powerful antioxidant properties – Slows down the aging process.
- Enhances skin health – Promotes collagen production, leading to brighter and healthier-looking skin.
- Improves iron absorption – Supports bone and dental health.
Types of Vitamin C
Currently, Vitamin C available in the market comes in two main forms:
- Natural Vitamin C – Derived from fruits and vegetables.
- Synthetic Vitamin C – Chemically synthesized.
Studies have shown no significant difference in bioavailability between natural and synthetic Vitamin C, meaning the body absorbs and utilizes them similarly.
Forms of Vitamin C Supplements
Regardless of the form of Vitamin C supplement consumed, studies indicate that the body’s Vitamin C levels remain relatively similar over time. Therefore, choosing a specific dosage form depends on personal preference and convenience.
Common dosage forms include:
- Powder
- Tablets (including slow-release formulations)
