Liposomal Supplements - The New Kids On The Block

Are you ready for something that's actually going to make a huge difference to your health? Good because, hallelujah - Altrient have produced a liposomal supplement range that is not only easy to take but also genuinely works!

Let’s face it, it’s about time there were supplements available that you could feel certain would make a significant impact on your health. I mean, how much time have you spent trudging down the aisles of your local health food shop, surrounded with a multitude of vitamins and minerals in various different forms and sizes, wondering where on earth to start?

Without a doubt, there's a bewildering array of vitamins and minerals available these days, which only goes to make shopping for the right ones totally confusing. Which supplements should you choose, how many should you take, how often and for how long and most importantly will they work?

The biggest dilemma - Choosing the right type of supplements

This final question poses the biggest dilemma - What is the point of taking vitamins if you’re not entirely sure they’re going to have any effect at all? It may not come as a total surprise to learn that not all supplements are created equal.

Many supplements are produced in other countries from poor quality and cheap ingredients that may not be active.

According to research, some don't even contain the nutrients they say they do. Others are packed with more fillers and binders than ingredients and some come in forms that don't disintegrate sufficiently to be fully absorbed.

You will also find that many vitamins and minerals are bound together with other inorganic compounds such as…

- oxides

- carbonates

- sulphates

- phosphates

- chlorides (which are thought to be less well absorbed)

Aside from all this, a more concerning issue is that many products simply don't have the science or research to back up their ingredients or claims.

Disappointing to hear, huh?

Well, luckily there's no need to waste any more time trawling around health food shops trying to decipher the difference between one product and another. If you've been praying for something that will take the guesswork out of supplementation, here it is.

Liposomal technology has come to the rescue and is sure to become something you look back on with the same fondness as the day you discovered the sheer heaven of stretch jeans. Life’s never been the same since!

Although this ground-breaking technology started its journey within the medical world as a method of specialized drug delivery, it has now found a place in the supplement industry and is making the kind of health changes that are forcing people to sit up and take notice. Liposomal supplements are set to revolutionise complementary health care.

Understanding liposomal technology

OK, so…

- What is liposomal technology?

- What makes it so special?

- Why should you put your trust in this new and exciting form of supplementation? 

We'll keep it simple and focus on vitamin C. You've all heard of vitamin C after all, it’s probably one of the most widely used supplements available. Vitamin C is universally known for its value to human health and has been documented in thousands of studies. Luckily its physical properties make it an ideal candidate for liposomal encapsulation and delivery.

So first we’ll get the science bit out of the way and then we can take a look at some real life evidence.

Despite what you might think, taking large amounts of standard vitamin C is pretty pointless as the body can only absorb up to 200mg at a time. This is because our bodies maintain a very clever balancing act with certain nutrients and in the case of vitamin C there are tight controls within the intestines that regulate its absorption.

Other factors also affect the amount of vitamin C we can hold on to. Smokers use up lots more vitamin C than non-smokers. Additionally...

- alcohol

- chemicals

- heavy metals

- low stomach acid

- poor diet

- stress

- an overgrowth of unhealthy bacteria in the gut

... may all have a detrimental effect on our vitamin C levels, which is where the magic of liposomal technology comes in.

Liposomal vitamin C sets itself apart from other forms of vitamin C because of its unique delivery system, which can overcome all of these obstacles.

Altrient^® C's unique manufacturing process

The unique Altrient C manufacturing process produces cleverly designed phospholipid bubbles called liposomes. The phospholipid coating is very similar to the biological membrane that surrounds our own cells.

These membranes are designed to facilitate the transport of numerous chemicals as well as protect the cell’s contents. In much the same way, liposomes are able to protect the vitamin C they encapsulate from our body’s natural defence systems.

The microscopic bubbles of protective fatty acids are loaded with soluble vitamin C which is then protected from the digestive juices and transported quickly into the circulation which moves it directly to the cells that need it. It is this unique design that enables this highly potent vitamin C supplement to break through the body’s absorption barriers to effectively penetrate the target tissues.

Liposomes are super clever because they can incorporate and release both water soluble and fat soluble components simultaneously, whilst maintaining a protective barrier around their biologically active ingredients. This makes them resistant to:

- digestive enzymes

- gastric juices

- bile salts

- alkaline solutions

- gut bacteria

- and the free radicals that our bodies produce

The liposomal delivery system makes sure that the vitamin C you take - unlike others - is protected from oxidation and degradation and will deliver it undamaged to the exact target site where the body can best utilise it.

Liposomal supplements are all about absorption

Over three-quarters of the Vitamin C contained in most tablets and powders on the market is destroyed in the digestive system, never even making it to your bloodstream. Whereas the Vitamin C carried in a liposome can be in excess of ten times more bio-available bringing far greater benefits.

In comparison, choosing liposomal supplements is a bit of a no-brainer! And most importantly, studies show that liposomes increase stability and solubility allowing for greatly improved absorption in the body.

But don't just take our word for it, read about what other people have to say about their experiences using liposomal vitamins.
