Why VITAL-C
VITAL-C is a highly-efficient liposomal vitamin C 1000 mg (1 g) in the patented LIPOSHELL®* technology.
VITAL-C is characterized by high vitamin C content in the liposome.
The LIPOSHELL® technology makes it possible to obtain a very high effectiveness in vitamin C transport in the body. The LIPOSHELL® liposomes are tiny carriers, homogeneous in size**. They are similar to cell membranes in the human body and therefore they are non-toxic and biocompatible.
Vitamin C can be long-term and stably enclosed inside high-quality LIPOSHELL® liposomes which effectively penetrate to the target location – inside of the cell.

WHAT DIFFERENTIATES VITAL-C FROM A TRADITIONAL FORM OF VITAMIN C?

The use of the patented LIPOSHELL® liposomal technology in the VITAL-C formulation allows:

HOW DOES VITAMIN C WORK?

contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress*,

contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, bones, blood vessels, gums and teeth

increases iron absorption

contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system

contributes to normal function of the immune system

contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism
* Main causes of oxidative stress 1, 5:
- stress, living in a state of a nervous tension;
- intense, regular physical activity;
- environmental pollution (e.g. pesticides, heavy metals);
- excessive exposure to sunlight (intensive sunbathing);
- stimulants (e.g. smoking, alcohol abuse);
- improper diet – e.g. highly processed foods, fried, burnt, smoked meat, foods high both in fats and carbohydrates;
- certain medications, e.g. contraceptives, glucocorticosteroids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
The person’s age is also important because the body’s defense mechanisms against the excess of free radicals weaken significantly over the years.

Recommendations for use VITAL-C:
VITAL-C For Skin Care
VITAMIN C FOR MAINTAINING THE NORMAL SKIN CONDITION
Vitamin C protects cells against oxidative stress. 3, 4, 5, 6
One of the factors damaging both the dermis and epidermis cells, as well as contributing to their degeneration, is oxidative stress. 6
Oxidation stress is the imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants in favor of the oxidants, potentially leading to damage.*
*Sies H. (2000) What is Oxidative Stress?. In: Keaney J.F. (eds) Oxidative Stress and Vascular Disease. Developments in Cardiovascular Medicine, vol 224. Springer, Boston, MA
The action of free radicals may interfere with the growth of tissues, change the metabolism and functioning of cells, destroy lipid and protein structures. The effect of their action on the skin is reducing its elasticity and weakening its defense mechanisms, which accelerates the aging process. 6
The causes of oxidative stress for the skin may include: excessive exposure to UV rays, stimulants (eg cigarettes, alcohol), chronic medicines used, or psychological stress. 3, 4, 5
Vitamin C has anti-oxidant properties. 6
Vitamin C stimulates the collagen formation, which is often called the “protein of youth”. 7, 8, 9
Vitamin C is essential for the synthesis of collagen. 10
Vitamin C helps to restore the proper function of the skin by stimulating the production of collagen.

THE HIGHEST QUALITY OF LIPOSHELL® LIPOSOMES SUPPORTED BY RESEARCH STUDIES
LIPOSHELL® liposomes are the effect of many years of research by a multidisciplinary team of Polish scientists.
LIPOSHELL® liposomes are characterized by the highest quality, optimum and homogeneous size and high stability, which have been confirmed in studies.

LIPOSHELL® LIPOSOMES ARE CHARACTERISED BY AN OPTIMUM SIZE

Liposomes manufactured in the LIPOSHELL® technology are tested with the use of the dynamic light scattering technique on the Malvern ZetaSizer NanoZS device that determines the hydrodynamic diameter of liposomes. Measurements were performed at Lipid Systems Ltd. and confirmed at the Department of Biomedical Engineering, Wrocław University of Science and Technology.
Each manufactured batch of VITAL-C is characterised by the size of liposomes whose mean size is 170 nm +/- 15%.

LIPOSHELL® LIPOSOMES ARE HOMOGENEOUS IN SIZE

In addition to size distribution, testing by the dynamic light scattering (DLS) technique assesses VITAL-C also for homogeneity of the liposome population. Correlation function (orange points on the chart) is calculated on the basis of light scattering measurements. The model function is fitted to the measurement points obtained. If the function overlaps well with the measured points, this demonstrates that liposomes are homogeneous and well characterised. The polydispersity index for VITAL-C is less than 0.15. The index value ranges from 0 to 1. The higher its value, the less homogeneous are the liposomes.
VITAL-C has the most homogeneous liposome population among the tested products available in the market. The studies were performed at Lipid Systems Ltd. and confirmed at the Department of Biomedical Engineering, Wrocław University of Science and Technology.

LIPOSHELL® LIPOSOMES ARE CHARACTERISED BY HIGH QUALITY

Comparative studies on commercial, best-selling products available globally, conducted in parallel at Lipid Systems and at the Department of Biomedical Engineering, Wrocław University of Science and Technology indicate that LIPOSHELL® technology makes it possible to obtain liposomes that are smallest in size and most homogeneous . Competitive products, manufactured by recognised international companies (including companies from USA), have liposomes at least twice their size.

VITAL-C PROVIDES HIGHER BLOOD LEVELS OF VITAMIN C, MAINTAINED LONGER THAN WITH THE CONVENTIONAL ORAL FORM

VITAL-C – high-performance, liposomal vitamin C in the patented LIPOSHELL® technology makes it possible to obtain higher absorption of vitamin C and a prolonged half-life in the bloodstream. The study was conducted in healthy volunteers in the Regional Specialist Hospital, Research and Development Centre in Wrocław. Concentrations were analysed by HPLC and UV-VIS detection on the basis of literature methods of proper collection of blood samples for vitamin C analyses. European Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2007) 61, 1233–1236; doi:10.1038/sj.ejcn.1602655; published online 7 February 2007.

I recommend to everyone, I have been taking regularly for 2 years. Zero antibiotics. Sometimes a few days of runny nose. It should be used regularly and not when something starts to happen.
Bartek –
The best on the market. Recommend.

High Quality Liposomal Vitamin C!
This is the best Liposomal Vitamic C I could find so far, and I tried many brands, including Altrient. What I really like about VITAL-C in gel form is that there are no harmful preservatives in the formula and no alcohol, unlike Altrient`s.This is my second order, I take 1 to 2 sachets per day, with 500mg of L-Lysine in capsule form. It strengthens your immune system and it does wonders for your skin by helping your skin produce collagen and reducing the wrinkles.
Saskia (verified owner) –
Good Purchase
Much better taste profile than other liposomals I’ve tried. Also I’m convenient single serve sachets.
Karl McKenzie (verified owner) –
Get the most from Vitamin C
I take vitamin C for the specific purpose of keeping my immune system strong, although vitamin C has many other health benefits.I am in 2 to 4 homes every day interfacing with folks all day and through it all not one sniffle. This product allows more vitamin C to be absorbed and therefore more health benefits.
Paul (verified owner) –
Honest liposomal product worth trying.
Definitely the best tastings product of its kind, that I tried. Easy to open pockets. Clean.
Ina (verified owner) –
Best liposomal vitamin C, I ever tried
I bought VITAL-C because it’s European quality, with NO harmful preservatives and NO alcohol, non-GMO and sugar-free.I was pleasantly surprised to discover it doesn’t have a bad taste like other liposomal formulations have.The moment I tried this product for the first time, I felt my breathing was very light and calm…sort of calm energy entered the body.I suffer from exhaustion during my periods and I noticed that when I take it together with liquid iron (natural iron rich water) and/or without mixed with some water, the effects are amazing. I feel so much better and energetic. Because of this, my boyfriend now takes it before exercising and every time he feels like a flu is coming.Even my skin texture seems to have improved so I’ll continue taking it.
RC (verified owner) –
I love it!
Great option for liposomal vitamin C, clean label, alcohol-free and no harmful preservatives. Although the taste is a little “eh” I mix it with juice and I am good to go. We haven’t got sick with all this flu etc going around and as my dad says, “it just makes me feel good!”

Highly recommend!
Good quality liposomes, no alcohol or harmful preservatives, decent taste compared with other liposomal formulations. Priced reasonably considering it’s a premium, European liposomal vitamin C, NOT made in China.

Bought for increased immune health during flu season
Shelley Taylor (verified owner) –
Great product
Love this product. Actually dissolves into juice unlike other lipo c products and the taste is fairly easily hidden. My kids will drink it anyway! Great for getting rid of colds or giving you a boost when run down. Cheaper than other products as well, but just as effective.
alisonl (verified owner) –
Not sure
The consistency and taste much less desirable than the brand I usually purchase (Livon). I take it in water or juice, and it is far less ‘encapsulated’ by the liposomal effect. Tastes of garlic. I do feel energetic, but it’s hard to say if that is from the Vitamin C or the other things I am taking (Shilajit, Irish Moss etc). I won’t buy this brand again
Cosmos (verified owner) –
Boosts Vitamin C at the optimal level
I particularly like the fact that this is easy to take, no large pills to get stuck, plus being Lipisomal makes it more effectively absorbed.
Amazon Customer (verified owner) –
Worth the money
This had a noticeable effect on my complexion so I gave to my teanage son. It apeared to clear up his acne When I used a less expensive variety his acne came back. I then bought this again and his skin cleared up again. He is convinced that this product works.
Tiff (verified owner) –
It’s now my favorite
I had a double coupon for this so decided to give it a try. I have tried several liposomal vitamin c supplements and I feel Livon Labs is still the best.Update: 5/2/2020Raising my 3 star review to a 5 star review. Livon Labs brand now gives me a horrible headache. It tastes like alcohol. This brand is now my favorite. It tastes awful but no side effects from it.
Leighites (verified owner) –
Well presented and of v g quality
Package arrived quickly and well packaged. Personally I find the flavour unpleasant so just place contents at back of my tongue and swallow quickly! However it is the best quality so I recommend this product.
Donna A (verified owner) –
Strong taste.
Tastes is terrible but taken with juice it is better. Does it work? Not sure but it can’t hurt.
Antz (verified owner) –
It’s expensive here, but it is a trusted brand and a powerful tool
It is a good quality product. Like a silver bullet! .. cures anything. I keep it in case of viral infections. I take a triple dose three times when the virus comes, and it’s gone the next day (though, be aware of manufacturer warnings, as the liver doesn’t normally deal with a lot of vitamin C). It is a great natural cure because it just supplies the immune system. I don’t take it daily. I have seen it cheaper in stores though…
Bea Annesley (verified owner) –
Smells herby, but overall good.
It’s not as gloopy as some of the others and mixes well with water. I take it straight out of the sachet so it’s a bit strong and there’s a distinctive, herb scent to it as well as citrus, which is a bit strong.
A. (verified owner) –
Bon produit mais pas le goût
Produit reçu dans les temps. Il a un meilleur effet que la vitamine C 1000 à croquer. Je vois bien la différence, beaucoup plus d’énergie depuis que j’en prends. Par contre le goût n’est vraiment pas bon mais on s’y habitue au bout de qqles temps, je recommencerai une cure dans l’année.

Fièvre disparue en 1 jour / fever gone in 1 day
En 1 semaine j’ai 2 fois de la fièvre (38.5 et 38). Avec seulement la vitamine c 1000 mg (4 fois par jour) la fièvre. J’ai retrouvé tout de suite de l’énergie. Dommage que le prix soit trop cher mais il est très efficace, sans alcool, et sans additifs nocifs.My fever gone in one day with 4mg. I love this product. But the price is too high but very nice ! I recommand it if you want to protect you from any virus.
