It goes without saying that we should aim to meet our nutrient needs at mealtimes. There are also some nutrients, such as vitamin C, that offer unique immune-supporting benefits at doses higher than we could hope to reach with our diet alone. For this reason, if we want to keep our immune system fighting fit, a small collection of good quality, strategic supplements can set us in good stead.
The Gold Standard in Vitamin C
Altrient C was developed in 2004 by LivOn Labs, the original pioneers of liposomal vitamin C. They were the first in the world to successfully combine Liposome Encapsulation Technology, an advantageous delivery system used widely in the pharmaceutical industry since the 1980s to augment effectivity of drug delivery, with vitamin C. By doing so, LivOn Labs were able to deliver absorption levels with vitamin C never before thought possible. Getting vitamin C into the blood stream is one thing, getting vitamin C into the cells is another. This is where liposomes become interesting.
What are liposomes?
Liposomes are spherical nano particles, miniscule bubbles, that resemble a similar structure to human cellular membranes. They consist of a hydrophilic aqueous core and an amphipathic, outer lipid bilayer. Altrient’s liposomes are incredibly complex and precise in design, composition and dimension, all thanks to LivOn Labs patented process. The core of each liposome is filled with vitamin C and the outer double protective layer shields the vitamin C from degradation in the digestive system, securing a safe path to the small intestine. It is here that the vitamin C filled liposomes can slip through the intestine wall into the blood stream. The journey doesn’t end there, when they meet a cell, they are able to overcome cellular absorption barriers to deliver nutrients directly into the cells, where they are needed most.
Dr. Thomas Levy, Cardiologist and vitamin C expert says “Comparing the absorption and utilisation rates of other forms of oral vitamin C supplements with Altrient’s oral liposomal delivery, is like comparing a squirt gun to a fire hose. I am convinced that the efficacy of Altrient vitamin C far surpasses any traditional oral vitamin C supplement
