Liposomal Vitamin C for Children

It might not surprise you... children need vitamin C just like you, perhaps even more. If you're a parent or grandparent, you know how challenging it can be to get children to eat the right kinds of food, especially vegetables. This can put them at risk of low vitamin C levels. Children's immune health is tested year-round, so their developing immune cells particularly need adequate vitamin C supplies. Healthy individuals typically have high concentrations of vitamin C in their immune cells.

However, supporting their healthy immune function is not the only reason children need vitamin C. Vitamin C is essential for the growth and development of your child's body and mind. It is necessary for the formation of:

  • Neurotransmitters and other important chemicals in the brain and nervous system.
  • Collagen, blood vessels, muscles, ligaments, cartilage, skin, and other tissues.
  • Carnitine for energy production, as it transports fatty acids to the mitochondria for energy production and removes toxic waste.
  • Children who may be exposed to passive smoking need even more vitamin C, which helps repair damage caused by inhaling smoke and its effects.

Description

Liposomal Vitamin C for Kids - Dr. Mercola

For all these reasons (and many more), I have created Liposomal Vitamin C for Kids in a dose that is suitable for them.

Why liposomal? Advanced liposomal technology uses phospholipids to help transport vitamin C molecules across the intestinal membrane, increasing their bioavailability.

Additionally, phospholipids help reduce the possibility of gastrointestinal discomfort associated with traditional oral vitamin C, which is a bonus for all ages! My Liposomal Vitamin C for Kids contains the same excellent formulation as my Liposomal Vitamin C, only in a smaller dose of 125 mg in a small capsule, ideal for children aged 4 and up.

There is a serious issue with traditional oral vitamin C. It simply does not have the bioavailability benefits that liposomal technology offers.
This means that sometimes you cannot take as much vitamin C as you would like because it can cause digestive issues.
And because vitamin C acts as a powerful antioxidant and an essential nutrient that supports the immune system, heart, and blood vessels, and protects against harmful free radicals and other substances, you don't want to give it up.

Our liposomal vitamin C represents a more practical and effective way to supplement vitamin C than traditional oral vitamin C:

About Vitamin C:

  • Essential for the formation of neurotransmitters and other important brain and nervous system chemicals.
  • Needed for the formation of collagen, blood vessels, muscles, ligaments, cartilage, skin, and other tissues.
  • Helps produce carnitine for energy production, as it transports fatty acids into mitochondria to produce energy and removes toxic waste.
  • Children who may be exposed to passive smoking may need even more vitamin C to help repair damage caused by smoke inhalation and exposure.
  • It is the main 'electron donor' in your body's fight against oxidation.
  • Helps maintain optimal electron flow in your cells.
  • May help protect vital molecular elements in your body, such as proteins and lipids.
  • Vitamin C is also essential for the synthesis of something called collagen, an important structural component of blood vessels, tendons, ligaments, and bones.

May also support

  • Supports heart health.
  • Helps maintain blood pressure levels already within the normal range.
  • Helps support the vitality of blood vessels and arteries.
  • Helps support healthy vision.
  • Helps support healthy uric acid metabolism.
  • Boosts other antioxidants (in this case, vitamin E).

Liposomal Technology

You may have heard of a new technology called liposomal technology, which is used to increase nutrient absorption. This naturally occurs in krill oil. Omega-3 fats are bound to phospholipids, which radically increase absorption compared to fish oil.

Similarly, we can now mimic this process in the gut to improve nutrient absorption.

With liposomal technology, phospholipids in the capsule can form liposomes in the stomach. Studies show that water movement is sufficient to create some liposomes. Stresses are high in the stomach, gastric fluids are almost constantly in motion, which could create even more liposomes. Since liposomes can help nutrients gain entry across your intestinal membrane to target organs and cells, more liposomes could lead to increased absorption rates.

Research is now quite clear that one of the best and most practical ways to supplement your diet with oral vitamin C is the liposomal form of vitamin C.

Detail

Benefits of Liposomal Absorption

Liposomal absorption is completely different from intestinal absorption.

With intestinal absorption:

  • For your food and nutrients to be utilised, your digestive system must first break them down
  • Once broken down into smaller fragments, your body can absorb them
  • Finally, these nutrients enter your bloodstream, and your body can utilise them.


But with liposomal technology:

  • Tiny phospholipid-coated nutrient particles create vitamin C molecules coated with a substance similar to the cell walls themselves.
  • Coated vitamin C molecules can be more easily absorbed.

Given that part of the vitamin C is encapsulated in liposomes formed in the intestine, these molecules more easily slip through cell walls, increasing absorption.

Additionally, this liposomal technology helps reduce potential gastrointestinal issues that may accompany high doses of traditional oral vitamin C. Scientific research suggests that liposomal vitamin C may increase bioavailability beyond what was previously considered possible.
