Product Description

Advanced immune support complex with liposomal vitamin C, zinc, selenium & copper

This advanced liquid formula provides a complex of important immune-supporting nutrients including 1000mg liposomal vitamin C and 15mg zinc bisglycinate, with synergistic selenium and copper. Our nutrition scientists have provided high-absorption nutrient forms at effective doses and in optimal ratios for intensive, year-round support for adults and children.

Liposomal Vitamin C 1000mg & Zinc supports immune system function and protects cells against oxidative stress during times of illness. For those who are physically active, these nutrients support energy production and provide added immune protection during and after intense physical exercise.

With a natural citrus-vanilla taste and smoothie texture, it’s delicious from a spoon, mixed into a drink or added to yogurt. Flexible dosing for adults and children from age 5+ – 1-3 teaspoons daily – see detailed dosage guidelines on pack.

High absorption forms

Vitamin C must reach target cells to benefit health, but effective delivery of standard vitamin C is hindered at 3 key stages:

first, it is degraded by stomach acid and digestive enzymesin the intestines the absorption pathways are saturated to around 200mg in a single doseas it is water-soluble, any vitamin C that does reach the blood can be oxidized, and is easily excreted by the kidneys

Liposomal technology shields vitamin C from supplement to cell, delivering higher levels to the body.

Coating vitamin C in a protective lipid layer, liposomes survive the harsh environment of the stomach. Structurally similar to our own cell membranes, liposomes fuse directly with the cells of the intestine to bypass restricted vitamin C uptake pathways. This enables more vitamin C to reach the blood where the lipid layer continues to protect the vitamin C from oxidation and excretion.

We use chelated forms of zinc, copper and selenium, also known for optimal bioavailability and biological activity.

Effective, balanced doses

Our expert nutrition scientists have formulated an effective immune support complex that is able to overcome absorption issues and provide meaningful doses that work in synergy with dietary intake to offer intensive immune support long term, without overloading the body and upsetting the delicate balance of nutrients.

Standard vitamin C as ascorbic acid reaches saturation at about 200mg and would require micro dosing several times per day for effective immune support. Liposomal delivery achieves meaningful blood plasma levels of vitamin C from a single dose of 1000mg.

As mineral absorption is especially complex, we’ve considered potential interactions with the rest of the diet. High calcium and iron intake can reduce overall zinc absorption, so we provide a potent 15mg of zinc as bisglycinate. We have also been mindful not to provide excess zinc, since this can decrease magnesium and calcium uptake.

Optimal ratios for safe long-term use

Not only do zinc and copper compete for absorption in the body, but the body also works hard to regulate blood levels within a tight range. During illness, the body may up-regulate levels of one mineral over the other due to increased demand. With both minerals essential for supporting immune function and antioxidant defence systems, it is important to maintain an optimal ratio of around 12:1 for long-term immune health maintenance. This formula contains precise levels of copper to keep the ratio in balance.

Advanced, bioavailable nutrient forms provided in optimal doses & balanced ratios

Liposomal Vitamin C

Our vitamin C is sourced from Canada and produced using the same natural process that oranges use to produce vitamin C.

Liposomes coat vitamin C in a protective lipid layer allowing them to better survive harsh stomach acid and digestive enzymes. Whilst the absorption of standard vitamin C is easily saturated, structurally similar to our own cell membranes, liposomes fuse directly with the cells of the intestine to bypass restricted vitamin C uptake pathways. More vitamin C reaches the blood where the lipid layer continues to protect the vitamin C from oxidation and excretion, allowing it to be retained in circulation for longer.

Zinc bisglycinate provides potent antioxidant support

Zinc is one of the most important immune-supportive nutrients, essential for the development and function of immune cells. Zinc deficiency increases susceptibility to a range of pathogens, so it is key in any immune supplement protocol – in addition to being a vital component in the diet. The most bioavailable sources tend to be animal-derived, such as meat, shellfish (especially oysters), dairy and eggs. While nuts and legumes contain zinc, it tends to be less bioavailable in plant foods, since these foods also contain phytates which bind to zinc and inhibit its absorption. Zinc is therefore especially important for vegetarians and vegans. We use zinc bisglycinate – an amino acid chelate – with greater absorption potential than other zinc forms, and bioavailable even in the presence of phytates found abundantly in plant-based diets. Liquid zinc is especially well tolerated.

Copper bisglycinate at ideal ratio for long-term health

Copper contributes to the function of the immune system and protects cells against oxidative stress. Copper also helps to preserve the important zinc to copper ratio, when high doses of zinc are taken long term, in order to support optimal levels of both minerals. Whilst plant-based diets are often a richer source of copper than animal-based diets, bioavailability is lower, leading to decreased plasma copper levels. We provide 1mg copper – balanced carefully with zinc – and in the chelated bisglycinate form known for its high absorption potential.

90% greater bioavailability with selenomethionine

Selenium intake is largely dependent on the health of the soil in which our food is grown. An essential nutrient in immune health, we offer selenium in its natural form as selenomethionine. Selenium is also required for the production of glutathione – an essential antioxidant with multiple roles in immune health. Selenomethionine provides 90% bioavailability and raises glutathione levels more effectively than standard selenium selenite.
