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 zinc with vitamin C
10 ml provide 25 mg zinc (250 % of the nutrient reference value) and 1000 mg vitamin C (1250 %). One 250 ml bottle lasts for 25 daily doses. You can take the product neat or stir it into water or juice. 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 zinc?
Liposomal zinc is zinc 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 ingredients on their way through the stomach and gut.
Zinc is an essential trace element that the body cannot produce itself and can barely store. How much zinc is absorbed from food depends strongly on the other components of the meal. This is exactly where the liposomal form comes in. More about liposomes →
Liposomal zinc with vitamin C vs. zinc tablets: the difference
In tablets, zinc is present in compressed form. In our liquid product, zinc is embedded together with vitamin C in liposomes made of sunflower phospholipids. You take it by the spoonful, without having to swallow tablets.
There is no dedicated absorption study for this product. We have investigated the liposomal technology behind it for other active ingredients in our own studies. A dedicated study is available for liposomal vitamin C. See our studies →
Ingredients
Water, glycerol, phospholipids, sodium L-ascorbate, zinc di-L-ascorbate, acidifier: malic acid, sea buckthorn extract, antioxidant: rosemary extract
Ingredients of Zinc + Vitamin C Liposomal: what's inside and why
- Zinc di-L-ascorbate: the zinc source, a compound of zinc and vitamin C. It provides 25 mg zinc per daily dose.
- Sodium L-ascorbate: the buffered, less acidic form of vitamin C. Together this adds up to 1000 mg vitamin C per daily dose.
- Phospholipids from sunflowers (1000 mg per daily dose): form the liposomes in which the zinc and vitamin C are packed. They are sourced from the EU.
- Water, glycerol, sea buckthorn extract, malic acid and rosemary extract: water and glycerol as the carrier liquid, 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 zinc and vitamin C: what is proven
Many effects are attributed to zinc and vitamin C, and our customers take them 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. Zinc and vitamin C contribute:
- to the normal function of the immune system (zinc and vitamin C)
- to the protection of cells from oxidative stress (zinc and vitamin C)
- to the maintenance of normal skin, hair and nails (zinc)
- to normal cognitive function (zinc)
- to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue (vitamin C)
- to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin (vitamin C)
Zinc also contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism, to normal fertility and reproduction and to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood.

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 zinc is lab-tested
Our liposomal zinc with 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 zinc with vitamin C
Liquid liposomal zinc or tablets: what is the difference?
Liposomes are tiny vesicles made of phospholipids that are stable in liquid. That is why we offer liposomal zinc as a liquid. You take it by the spoonful or stir it into a drink.
What is zinc ascorbate?
Zinc ascorbate, more precisely zinc di-L-ascorbate, is a compound of zinc and vitamin C. It serves as the zinc source in our product.
How much zinc per day makes sense?
The recommended intake is 10 ml per day. That is 25 mg zinc, i.e. 250 % of the nutrient reference value. 25 mg per day is the amount that the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) sets as the upper limit for total daily intake for adults. So do not take more, and do not combine the product with other products containing zinc.
Can I take zinc and iron together?
Zinc and iron can hinder each other's absorption. It is therefore best to take them at different times, for example one in the morning and the other in the evening.
Why is zinc combined with vitamin C?
Both contribute to the normal function of the immune system and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. With one product you cover both. You can find vitamin C without zinc here: liposomal vitamin C.
When and how do I take liposomal zinc?
You can take the 10 ml neat or stir them into water or juice. If you do not tolerate zinc well on an empty stomach, take it with a meal.
Does zinc have side effects, and who should not take it?
Zinc in this amount is intended for adults. A permanently high zinc intake can impair the absorption of copper. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a medical condition or take medication regularly, consult a doctor before taking it.
How long does liposomal zinc 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.
Significantly optimised absorption
In independent studies we have demonstrated a manifold higher bioavailability for numerous actives – e.g. magnesium 5×, vitamin C 12× or curcumin 47×. Thanks to the protected liposomal encapsulation, a significantly optimised absorption can be assumed for this product too.
See our studies →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.
