General Overview

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin that was discovered in the early 20th century. It offers numerous benefits, both in terms of prevention and treatment. Unlike some other vitamins, the human body doesn't naturally produce it, which emphasizes the importance of maintaining an adequate level to avoid potential deficiencies.

Confirmation of its Health Benefits

Vitamin C plays a major role in collagen synthesis, an essential component of connective tissues such as bones, cartilage, tendons, and skin. Furthermore, it enhances calcium absorption.

As a potent antioxidant, vitamin C actively contributes to the protection of the cardiovascular system. It effectively combats inflammatory and infectious issues by improving the mobility of white blood cells and stimulating the immune system.

It also plays a crucial role in the long-term reduction of cholesterol and triglyceride levels. A study demonstrates that a daily intake of 500 mg of vitamin C for 4 weeks led to a decrease in LDL (low-density lipoproteins), commonly known as bad cholesterol.

Its anti-stress, revitalizing, and anti-fatigue influence largely stems from its involvement in the synthesis of neurotransmitters in the nervous and neuronal systems, as well as in the secretion of a hormone called norepinephrine, produced by the adrenal glands.

Contrary to certain popular beliefs and various research findings, it has been established that vitamin C continues to be stored in the body even after saturating the plasma. Dr. Feigan's work has shown that approximately 40% of vitamin C remains stored in the body.

Advantages of Liposomal Encapsulation of Vitamin C by Goldman Laboratories

• It stabilizes vitamin C, which is inherently unstable.
• It ensures rapid plasma saturation, thereby allowing for quick "recharging" of target organs such as white blood cells, liver, adrenal glands, and tissues.
• It reduces the size of the molecule (between 50 nm and 120 nm) to optimize penetration towards target organs.
• It enables controlled activation and release of vitamin C in the right place and at the right time (especially in the small intestine where its absorption is optimal).
