Vitamin C (liposomal)

Tier 2 — promising · Immunity · Absorption · Antioxidant

Liposomal encapsulation wraps vitamin C in fat-based vesicles that bypass normal gut absorption limits. A 2024 trial found liposomal vitamin C achieves significantly higher blood levels than standard vitamin C at the same dose, approaching intravenous levels. Especially useful for people who get diarrhoea from standard vitamin C above 500 mg. More expensive than regular ascorbic acid. Choose products with verified liposomal encapsulation.

Dose: 500–1,000 mg/day liposomal vitamin C; achieves higher blood levels than standard oral form
