Liposomes are the Best Delivery System for Vitamin C

Much of our biological chemistry is based on both water and fat solubility. Just as water and oil do not mix, there are challenges involved with bringing a water-soluble nutrient into a fat-soluble matrix such as cell membranes. This incompatibility leads to lower rates of nutrient uptake and utilization within the cells.

Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that doesn’t interact particularly efficiently with cell membrane walls. As cell walls are made up of fatty acids, estimates are that water-soluble oral vitamin C intake has an approximate absorption rate of 20% into the bloodstream with the other 80% accumulating in the colon. Higher vitamin C dosage is also associated with unpleasant digestive complaints such as cramping and diarrhoea because it draws water into the colon.
