FAQs
What is the difference between standard Vitamin C and Liposomal Vitamin C?
Standard Vitamin C has an absorption limit, with the body typically absorbing only 14-30% of the intake. In contrast, Liposomal Vitamin C is encapsulated in a protective bubble that shields it from harsh digestive processes, allowing it to bypass normal absorption restrictions. This results in a higher amount of Vitamin C being delivered into the bloodstream and efficiently transported to the cells.
To consume 1000mg of Vitamin C, how many oranges would I need to eat?
A typical orange contains about 50-70mg of Vitamin C. To reach an intake of 1000mg of Vitamin C, you would need to consume approximately 14-20 oranges, depending on the size and variety of the orange and its Vitamin C content.
Who should consider taking Liposomal Vitamin C?
Liposomal Vitamin C can be beneficial for individuals who require high doses of Vitamin C, such as those with weakened immune systems, those looking to support skin health, and individuals under stress. It is also ideal for those who experience gastrointestinal discomfort when taking high doses of traditional Vitamin C supplements.
Vitamin C is known for its immune-supporting properties. Liposomal Vitamin C may offer enhanced benefits in this regard due to its higher absorption rates, potentially supporting the immune system more effectively than non-liposomal forms.
What happens if I exceed the recommended dose of Vitamin C?
Vitamin C is a water-soluble nutrient, which means that excess amounts are typically flushed out of the body through urine, reducing the risk of toxicity. However, it's important to approach supplementation responsibly. While consuming more than the recommended daily amount occasionally might not be a concern, consistently high doses can lead to side effects such as stomach upset and diarrhea. It's generally safe for most people to take up to 2,000 mg per day, but always consult with a healthcare provider before significantly exceeding standard dosage recommendations to ensure safety and efficacy in line with your health needs.
Should I take Liposomal Vitamin C before, after, or during a meal?
Liposomal vitamin C can be taken with or without food. It's encased in a phospholipid layer for better absorption and may be gentler on the stomach when taken with meals. Choose a time that fits your routine.
