What is a liposome? Liposomes can be composed of naturally-derived phospholipids with mixed lipid chains, such as egg phosphatidylethanolamine, or of pure surfactant components like dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOP). It is common for liposomes to also contain a core aqueous solution that is trapped by one or more bilayers. The phospholipid bilayers of a liposome can originate from natural sources, which are biologically inert, immunogenic and exhibit a lower inherent toxicity.
Most mammals produce vitamin C, except humans. Did you know that most all mammals produce their own vitamin C? Because of what is believed to be a genetic mutation in our ancestors, humans are one of the very few mammals who must obtain vitamin C from their diet. A typical 155lb mammal will produce about 13,000mg of vitamin C in their blood per day. Much more (more than 10x this amount) is produced if injured, stressed or fighting disease.
The extensive health benefits of vitamin C are obvious but most people simply don’t get enough in their diet. This is further hindered by its limited bioavailability. Supplementing vitamin C provides a reasonable alternative; unfortunately it is difficult for the body to absorb large amounts of standard vitamin C all at once because of its inability to withstand the digestive processes in the body. At best, the body can only absorb up to 200mg of standard vitamin C at a time, the rest is rapidly eliminated from the body through the urine. Much higher doses can cause gastric distress including gas, cramps and diarrhoea. Read more information on Vitamin c liposome encapsulated.
Some plant extracts have shown interesting anticancer properties without the serious side effects of cytotoxic agents. Among them, curcumin (CUR), which has anti-inflammatory activities, has also shown activity against cancer through multiple mechanisms, including inhibition of initiation, progression, invasion and metastasis of cancer cells. Venkata et al8 discussed the anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities of CUR and their interconnectedness. It has been shown that CUR acts on protein kinases MAPK, Akt and Bcl-2;9–12 transcription factors NF-?B, AP-1 and STAT-313–20 and enzymes such as COX-2, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and LOX.21–23 Although CUR has numerous pharmacological activities, its poor aqueous solubility (=0.125 mg/L), low bioavailability, rapid metabolism and rapid systemic elimination are barriers to its clinical application. Optimal pharmacological effects require an oral dose of >8.0 g/day.24 Improving bioavailability of CUR is a major challenge.
The artificial, sugared-down, genetically modified and minimally effective vitamin fad is ending now. VitaBetter is leading the way. When we found out that you only absorb around 10-20% of oral vitamins and the rest is sugar and other artificial junk ingredients, we did what needed to be done… We created something much, much better. Here at VitaBetter, we stand for better health through better vitamins. Our mission is to raise the health and wellness of families across the planet…and it starts with YOU! See extra info on here.
