Description
Usage & Directions
Take 10 ml daily, neat or in liquid (e.g. juice or water). Optimal temperature between +2 and +21 °C – briefly the product also withstands more extreme temperatures. After opening, store in the fridge and use within 6 weeks. Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Keep out of reach of young children.
Dosage and intake of liposomal vitamin C
10 ml provide 1000 mg vitamin C, which is 1250 % of the nutrient reference value. One 250 ml bottle lasts for 25 daily doses. You can take liposomal vitamin C neat or stir it into water or juice; the time of day is up to you. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake.
How does it work?
LIPOSOMAL explained in 3 steps.
- 1EncapsulationOur LipoSone® technology packs the active into tiny, spherical liposomes made of phospholipids.
- 2ProtectionThe liposomes envelop the active and protect it from stomach acid and digestive enzymes.
- 3AbsorptionThis way it reaches the bloodstream far more efficiently – for higher bioavailability.
What is liposomal vitamin C?
Liposomal vitamin C is vitamin C packed into liposomes. Liposomes are microscopically small vesicles made of phospholipids – the same building blocks that make up the membranes of your body's cells. This shell protects the vitamin C on its way through the stomach and gut.
The body absorbs conventional vitamin C from tablets or powder only to a limited extent: the higher the single dose, the larger the share that is excreted unused. This is exactly where the liposomal form comes in. More about liposomes →
Liposomal vitamin C vs. conventional vitamin C: the difference
The difference lies in bioavailability – the share that actually reaches the blood. We had this measured in a randomised study with 40 healthy participants. Everyone received a single dose of 1000 mg vitamin C, split into four groups: liquid liposomal from ActiNovo, liquid liposomal from another brand, liposomal powder and a non-liposomal tablet. Vitamin C levels in the blood were measured over 24 hours.
The result: ActiNovo's liquid liposomal vitamin C achieved 12.17 times higher bioavailability than the non-liposomal tablet, 21.64 times higher than the liposomal powder and 1.92 times higher than the liquid liposomal comparison product. View the vitamin C study →
Ingredients
Water, glycerol, phospholipids, sodium L-ascorbate, acidifier: malic acid, sea buckthorn extract, antioxidant: rosemary extract
Ingredients of liposomal vitamin C 1000: what's inside and why
- Sodium L-ascorbate: the buffered, less acidic form of vitamin C. It provides 1000 mg vitamin C per daily dose.
- Phospholipids from sunflowers (1300 mg per daily dose): form the liposomes in which the vitamin C is packed. They are sourced from the EU.
- Water and glycerol: the carrier liquid in which the liposomes remain stable.
- Sea buckthorn extract, malic acid and rosemary extract: sea buckthorn as a plant-based addition, malic acid as an acidifier, rosemary extract as an antioxidant.
The product is vegan and contains no added flavourings.

Good to know
At ActiNovo we are fascinated by the potential of natural actives as much as by modern technology. So we combine both into highly effective liposomal supplements – without unnecessary additives.
Effects of vitamin C: what is proven
Many effects are attributed to vitamin C, and our customers take it for very different reasons. However, what we as a manufacturer are allowed to say about it is strictly regulated in the EU. Here is what we are allowed to tell you. Vitamin C contributes:
- to the normal function of the immune system
- to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue
- to normal energy-yielding metabolism
- to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, bones, cartilage, blood vessels, teeth and gums
- to the protection of cells from oxidative stress
- to normal functioning of the nervous system and to normal psychological function
Vitamin C also increases iron absorption. Liposomal vitamin C provides the same vitamin C as other products – the difference lies in absorption, not in the kind of effect.

Quality & Trust
Every batch is lab-tested for purity and quality. With the LOT number on the cap you can access the formulation and the lab report of your individual bottle.
Quality: every batch of liposomal vitamin C is lab-tested
Our liposomal vitamin C is developed and bottled in Hamburg. Every batch is independently tested for purity and content before it goes on sale. You can find the test report for your bottle via the LOT number on the cap.
Frequently asked questions about liposomal vitamin C
Liquid, capsules or powder: which form of liposomal vitamin C makes sense?
Liposomes are tiny vesicles made of phospholipids that are stable in liquid. That is why we offer liposomal vitamin C as a liquid. In our comparative study with 40 participants, ActiNovo's liquid liposomal vitamin C achieved considerably higher bioavailability than a liposomal powder and a non-liposomal tablet.
How much liposomal vitamin C per day makes sense?
The recommended intake is 10 ml per day. That is about 2 teaspoons and 1000 mg vitamin C. One 250 ml bottle lasts 25 days. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
When and how do I take liposomal vitamin C?
You can take the 10 ml neat or stir them into water or juice. The time of day is up to you.
Does liposomal vitamin C have disadvantages or side effects?
Vitamin C is considered well tolerated in usual amounts. Very high amounts can cause gastrointestinal discomfort in sensitive people. If you are prone to kidney stones, have kidney disease or an iron storage disorder, are pregnant or take medication regularly, talk to your doctor before taking it. One practical point about the liquid form: once opened, the bottle belongs in the fridge and should be used up within 6 weeks.
Is ascorbic acid harmful, and what is sodium ascorbate?
Ascorbic acid is the chemical name for vitamin C and is not harmful in usual amounts. Our product contains sodium L-ascorbate, the sodium salt of ascorbic acid. It is less acidic, which is why it is called buffered vitamin C. Read more in our article on ascorbic acid →
Can I combine liposomal vitamin C with zinc or iron?
Yes. Vitamin C increases iron absorption, which is why the two are often taken together, for example with our liposomal iron. For the combination with zinc there is a dedicated product: Liposomal Zinc + Vitamin C.
How long does liposomal vitamin C keep after opening?
After opening, keep the bottle in the fridge and use it up within 6 weeks. Unopened, it is best stored between +2 and +21 °C.
How do I recognise good liposomal vitamin C?
Look for three things: a clearly stated amount of vitamin C per daily dose, a short ingredient list without unnecessary additives, and evidence of absorption. We publish the lab report for every batch and had the bioavailability measured in our own study.
Is liposomal vitamin C suitable for children?
Yes, our liposomal vitamin C is also suitable for children, but at a reduced dose: 2.5 ml per day for children aged 1 to 4, 5 ml for ages 5 to 8 and 7.5 ml for ages 9 to 12. For children aged 4 and over there is also our dedicated All-in-One for kids.

ActiNovo liposomal vs. a non-liposomal tablet
View the study →If it makes no real difference, we do not sell it.
That is why every ActiNovo product uses our liposomal LipoSone® technology – for over 10 years, for more and more actives, proven in 9 of our own studies. What you find here has earned its place.
