Patented Cyto-Sorb technology uses a two-phase emulsion process with phosphatidylcholine from non-GMO sunflower, vitamin E, and vegetable glycerin from organic coconut to create micellar liposomes and significantly improve the bioavailability, stability, and sustained release of vitamin C. Vitamin C is necessary for proper immune function, neurotransmitter synthesis, connective tissue production, bone health, wound healing, and more. Each teaspoon provides 500 mg of micellar liposomal vitamin C with a sweet orange flavor. Each bottle provides 45 servings. Our understanding of vitamin C has come a long way since the discovery that the essential vitamin can treat and prevent scurvy in 1928. The primary role of vitamin C is the maintenance of connective tissues and, therefore, wound healing and bone formation. However, it is now more commonly associated with treating colds and strengthening the immune system. The importance of this simple nutrient to human health cannot be underestimated. Deficiencies in vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, have been linked to anemia, bleeding gums, and various cardiovascular diseases. Many people swear by its healing properties for many conditions, from gout to skin health. These applications make sense when you consider that ascorbic acid is also physiologically necessary to activate folic acid, synthesize serotonin, and aid in iron absorption. Its synergy with other compounds in the body is ever-present. Despite its absolute importance for optimal health, the human body cannot synthesize vitamin C, and dietary sources are required to maintain adequate levels. Even with widespread fortification of common dietary sources, it is still estimated that approximately 10% of adults in the industrialized world have marginal deficiencies. Supplemental vitamin C using liposomal technology can help effectively bridge this gap. Liposomal delivery systems were originally developed to optimize the pharmacokinetics and efficacy of pharmaceutical drugs. These same principles have now been applied to natural health ingredients. A liposome consists of a single- or multi-layer phospholipid structure with an aqueous core. Active ingredients can be placed within the aqueous core or within the phospholipid bilayer, where they are protected from various enzymatic and digestive processes. Ultimately, liposomes improve the bioavailability of active ingredients. However, not all liposomal deliveries are created equal. Liposomes are several hundred nanometers in size, meaning there is still a significant amount of digestion that must occur to reduce the surface area and allow for proper absorption. Micelles, on the other hand, are significantly smaller and can be absorbed directly at a size of approximately 20 nanometers. Cyto-Matrix Liposomal Vitamin C uses a unique, patented technology, Cyto-Sorb, to create a stable, multi-layered liposome with an additional micellar delivery of vitamin C. These methods allow for micronutrient stability and improved bioavailability, while promoting the delivery of active ingredients to intestinal absorption sites in a sustained manner. Cyto-Sorb liposomal formulas are produced through a two-phase emulsion process using phosphatidylcholine from non-GMO sunflower, vitamin E, and vegetable glycerin from organic coconut. Potassium bicarbonate is strategically added to stabilize the active ingredient, prevent oxidation, and enhance flavor. Cyto-Matrix Liposomal Vitamin C provides 500 mg of vitamin C per teaspoon in a delicious sweet orange flavor for improved compliance. Each bottle provides 45 servings.
