FAQs

What is the suggested use for this product?

Adults are suggested to take two (2) capsules daily, as a dietary supplement, with water.

What does ‘Liposomal’ mean?

Liposomal technology is an innovative technology that helps increase the proper absorption of supplemental nutrients by binding them to phospholipids found inside the capsule.

These phospholipids coat the nutrient to form liposomes in your stomach, which protect the nutrient and aid in its transport, carrying it through your gut lining and directly into your cells. Absorbed liposomes penetrate your cellular membranes and targeted tissues more effectively.

The liposomal process helps reduce the potential gastrointestinal distress that can accompany higher levels of traditional oral vitamin C.

Is it possible for air to get into the hard-shell liquid capsules?

The hard-shell liquid capsules are hermetically sealed with either an ultrasonic seal or by using a band, while soft-gel capsules use plasticizers, which create channels for moisture and oxygen to penetrate the capsule. The bubble inside the hard-shell capsule is a nitrogen bubble that also helps minimize and prevent air from getting in.

Do I need to worry about the paprika in the product?

Paprika is a nightshade vegetable, and some people are sensitive to the volatile alkaloids present in nightshades. However, the paprika used in our Liposomal Vitamin C is the extract form, as opposed to the whole spice. The volatile oils/pungency have been removed, retaining primarily carotenoids and lipids.

Is it safe to consume this product while pregnant or nursing?

This product was not formulated specifically for pregnant or nursing women. We always recommend consulting with your health care provider before taking a new dietary supplement.
