The Claim

Liposomal delivery of vitamin C increases systemic exposure by approximately 2.36-fold compared to nonliposomal vitamin C in healthy adults.

Supports is higher

Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.

In plain English

Vitamin C delivered in liposomes results in 2.36 times higher levels in the bloodstream compared to standard vitamin C supplements in healthy adults.

See the scientific wording

The liposomal delivery system for vitamin C increases systemic exposure by approximately 2.36-fold compared to nonliposomal vitamin C in healthy adults, suggesting enhanced absorption.

Why this might work

Vitamin C inside fatty bubbles survives stomach acid and intestinal enzymes, enters intestinal cells through the fatty membrane, and then enters the bloodstream at much higher levels than regular vitamin C.

  1. Study: A clinical evaluation of liposomal (Lipomac™) versus nonliposomal vitamin C: A randomized, open-label, cross-over trial in healthy subjects

    This study found that when people took vitamin C in a special fatty bubble wrapper (liposomal), about 2.36 times more of it got into their bloodstream compared to regular vitamin C pills. So yes, the special version works better at getting into the body.
