What is liposome? Liposomes can be composed of naturally-derived phospholipids with mixed lipid chains, such as egg phosphatidylethanolamine, or of pure surfactant components like dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOP). It is common for liposomes to also contain a core aqueous solution that is trapped by one or more bilayers. The phospholipid bilayers of a liposome can originate from natural sources, which are biologically inert, immunogenic and exhibit a lower inherent toxicity.
Most mammals produce vitamin C, except humans. Did you know that most all mammals produce their own vitamin C? Because of what is believed to be a genetic mutation in our ancestors, humans are one of the very few mammals who must obtain vitamin C from their diet. A typical 155lb mammal will produce about 13,000mg of vitamin C in their blood per day. Much more (more than 10x this amount) is produced if injured, stressed or fighting disease.
Until recently intravenous delivery of vitamin C has proven to be the most effective route for absorption, but this method of delivery is both costly and impractical. However, Liposomal vitamin C allows you to take vitamin C orally ensuring it reaches the cells where it is needed. A substantial number of studies have already documented the versatile advantages of using Liposomes for targeted site-specific delivery and efficient absorption through cells.

Some plant extracts have shown interesting anticancer properties without the serious side effects of cytotoxic agents. Among them, curcumin (CUR), which has anti-inflammatory activities, has also shown activity against cancer through multiple mechanisms, including inhibition of initiation, progression, invasion and metastasis of cancer cells. Venkata et al8 discussed the anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities of CUR and their interconnectedness. It has been shown that CUR acts on protein kinases MAPK, Akt and Bcl-2;9–12 transcription factors NF-?B, AP-1 and STAT-313–20 and enzymes such as COX-2, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and LOX.21–23 Although CUR has numerous pharmacological activities, its poor aqueous solubility (=0.125 mg/L), low bioavailability, rapid metabolism and rapid systemic elimination are barriers to its clinical application. Optimal pharmacological effects require an oral dose of >8.0 g/day.24 Improving bioavailability of CUR is a major challenge.
Now that you know better, it’s time to get VitaBetter. What is a Liposomal Vitamin? The difference between your average oral vitamin and one of our liposomal vitamins is the way in which the vitamins are encapsulated. A liposomal vitamin encapsulation is similar to that of a cell inside your body, making it absorbed up to 10-times more than the average oral vitamin. This is because the naturally structured liposomes are made in a way to mimic nature and work within your body in a non-invasive, instinctual and natural way. See more details at here.
