ForMeds Lipo Caps C500 (Liposomal Vitamin C) 60 capsules

Prolonged Release

• Studies have confirmed that the capsule used in LIPOCAPS C 1000 protects liposomes for up to 4 hours against an adverse stomach environment.

A really clean composition

• LIPOCAPS C 1000 does not contain, among others artificial additives, preservatives, alcohol and sweeteners. In addition, it does not require storage in the fridge.

Stability
LIPOCAPS C 1000 is the most stable liposomal vitamin C among the products tested.

• The production technology of LIPOCAPS C 1000 was developed in cooperation with the Medical University of Warsaw.

Liposomal vitamin C is enclosed in small, water-lipid vesicles called liposomes.
This vitamin is highly absorbable and only slightly excreted from the body, which is important in the event of increased demand for vitamin C.


The effectiveness of liposomes results from their small size and similarity of their structure to the structure of the intestinal cell membrane, which facilitates the penetration of the substance contained in liposomes.


The stability of liposomes and protection against harmful stomach environment play an important role. The average residence time of content in the stomach is from 2 to 4 hours. During this time, liposomes can be destroyed or aggregated (together into large clusters). The size of liposomes also affects their absorption - the larger, the more difficult it is to absorb.


Studies have confirmed that the capsule contained in LIPOCAPS C 1000 protects liposomes for up to 4 hours in the stomach environment, while in the intestine it releases them very quickly (up to 12-20 minutes).
Other capsules would break down very quickly in the stomach releasing liposomes there.


Unique technology has created small, stable liposomes, resistant to the stomach environment. The technology was developed in cooperation with the Medical University of Warsaw.


Stability testing was also conducted, among others liposomal dietary supplements with vitamin C in the form of gel and liquid. According to the study, both forms showed instability in the stomach environment. The initial sizes of the tested liposomes * (blue) increased (red), which indicates their aggregation. In addition, precipitation of the precipitate was observed in the gel form as a result of instability.
