Igennus Liposomal Vitamin C & Zinc

This advanced liquid formula provides a complex of important immune-supporting nutrients including 1000mg liposomal vitamin C and 15mg zinc bisglycinate, with synergistic selenium and copper. Our nutrition scientists have provided high-absorption nutrient forms at effective doses and in optimal ratios for intensive, year-round support for adults and children.Liposomal Vitamin C 1000mg & Zinc supports immune system function and protects cells against oxidative stress during times of illness.
For those who are physically active, these nutrients support energy production and provide added immune protection during and after intense physical exercise.With a natural citrus-vanilla taste and smoothie texture, it’s delicious from a spoon, mixed into a drink or added to yogurt. Flexible dosing for adults and children from age 5+.

High absorption forms Vitamin C must reach target cells to benefit health, but effective delivery of standard vitamin C is hindered at 3 key stages:

• first, it is degraded by stomach acid and digestive enzymes
• in the intestines the absorption pathways are saturated to around 200mg in a single dose
• as it is water-soluble, any vitamin C that does reach the blood can be oxidised, and is easily excreted by the kidneys

Liposomal technology shields vitamin C from supplement to cell, delivering higher levels to the body.Coating vitamin C in a protective lipid layer, liposomes survive the harsh environment of the stomach. Structurally similar to our own cell membranes, liposomes fuse directly with the cells of the intestine to bypass restricted vitamin C uptake pathways. This enables more vitamin C to reach the blood where the lipid layer continues to protect the vitamin C from oxidation and excretion.We use chelated forms of zinc, copper and selenium, also known for optimal bioavailability and biological activity.

Effective, balanced doses
Our expert nutrition scientists have formulated an effective immune support complex that is able to overcome absorption issues and provide meaningful doses that work in synergy with dietary intake to offer intensive immune support long-term, without overloading the body and upsetting the delicate balance of nutrients.
Standard vitamin C as ascorbic acid reaches saturation at about 200mg and would require micro dosing several times per day for effective immune support. Liposomal delivery achieves meaningful blood plasma levels of vitamin C from a single dose of 1000mg.  As mineral absorption is especially complex, we’ve considered potential interactions with the rest of the diet. High calcium and iron intake can reduce overall zinc absorption, so we provide a potent 15mg of zinc as bisglycinate. We have also been mindful not to provide excess zinc, since this can decrease magnesium and calcium uptake.
