Liposomal vitamin C is encapsulated in liposomes, tiny lipid spheres made of phospholipids that mimic the natural structure of human cell membranes. This similarity helps them cross the intestinal barrier more easily and deliver vitamin C closer to the cellular level. Standard vitamin C is absorbed via sodium-dependent transporters in the small intestine, with limited capacity — beyond roughly 200 mg, much of the surplus is eliminated in the urine. Sodium ascorbate, the buffered, less acidic form used here, combined with liposomal encapsulation, is generally gentler on the stomach than classic ascorbic acid, and the liquid format allows precise, pleasant dosing.

Each 5 ml serving of this formula provides 1,000 mg of Quali®-C vitamin C as sodium ascorbate. The Quali®-C label guarantees vitamin C manufactured in Europe to high purity standards, unlike the vitamin C of Asian origin often used in entry-level supplements. Phosphatidylcholine from soy lecithin is the essential building block of the liposomes — a phospholipid naturally present in human cell membranes, which explains the compatibility and efficiency of this encapsulation technology.

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient the human body cannot make itself. Under EU-authorised health claims, it contributes to the normal function of the immune system, including during and after intense physical exercise. It contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, bones, cartilage, gums and teeth. It contributes to normal energy metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It contributes to normal function of the nervous system and to normal psychological function. It contributes, as an antioxidant, to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. It increases iron absorption from plant sources. It also contributes to the regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E.

Take 10 ml per day (two teaspoons), ideally in the morning, neat or diluted in a glass of water or fruit juice. Shake well before each use. After opening, keep refrigerated and use within 60 days.

Not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women without prior medical advice. Not recommended for people allergic to soy, due to the soy lecithin content. People with haemochromatosis (iron overload) should consult their doctor before supplementing with vitamin C, as it increases iron absorption. If taking medication, particularly anticoagulants, seek medical or pharmacist advice. Food supplement — not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.

How long does a 300 ml bottle last?

At 10 ml per day, a 300 ml bottle lasts about 30 days, a full month of supplementation. For a 3-month course, plan for three bottles.

Is liposomal vitamin C better than tablet vitamin C?

Liposomal vitamin C generally offers higher bioavailability than standard ascorbic acid tablets, and the liposomal encapsulation tends to be gentler on digestion — a useful alternative for people taking higher doses or who experience digestive discomfort with classic forms.

Can children take liposomal vitamin C?

This supplement is formulated for adults. For children, we recommend asking a healthcare professional, who can adjust the dose to the child’s age and weight. The liquid format does make dose adjustment easier if a professional recommends it.
