ASCOLIP® - FOOD SUPPLEMENT

ASCOLIP® is a liposomal vitamin C 1000 mg (1 g) in the patented LIPOSHELL®* technology.

ASCOLIP® is characterized by high vitamin C content in the liposome.

increased bioavailability
targeted transport
maintenance of a constant level of vitamin C

The LIPOSHELL® technology makes it possible to obtain a very high effectiveness in vitamin C transport in the body. The LIPOSHELL® liposomes are tiny carriers, homogeneous in size**. They are similar to cell membranes in the human body and therefore they are non-toxic and biocompatible.

Vitamin C can be long-term and stably enclosed inside high-quality LIPOSHELL® liposomes which effectively penetrate to the target location – inside of the cell.

What differentiates ASCOLIP® from a traditional form of vitamin C?

The use of the patented LIPOSHELL^® liposomal technology in the ASCOLIP^® formulation allows:

high quality of liposomal vitamin C,
prolonged and stable encapsulation of vitamin C,
the proper amount of vitamin C (increased bioavailability),
transport of vitamin C in unchanged form (protection against degradation-inducing factors (e.g. oxygen, gastric juice, digestive enzymes),
easier penetration of vitamin C into the specific organs/tissues (targeted transport),
long-term maintenance of high level of vitamin C in the target area.

Vitamin C

How does vitamin C work ?

contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress*,

contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, bones, blood vessels, gums and teeth

increases iron absorption

contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system

contributes to normal function of the immune system

contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism

* Main causes of oxidative stress^1,5:

stress, living in a state of a nervous tension;
intense, regular physical activity;
environmental pollution (e.g. pesticides, heavy metals);
excessive exposure to sunlight (intensive sunbathing);
stimulants (e.g. smoking, alcohol abuse);

improper diet – e.g. highly processed foods, fried, burnt, smoked meat, foods high both in fats and carbohydrates;
certain medications, e.g. contraceptives, glucocorticosteroids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

The person’s age is also important because the body’s defense mechanisms against the excess of free radicals weaken significantly over the years.

When is it advisable to use ASCOLIP®?

Vitamin C in ASCOLIP® may be widely used, i.a.:

during the period of reduced immunity
by people exposed to chronic stressful stimuli
by people leading an intense lifestyle
after physical effort
as a "beauty vitamin" – vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation, which is the main component of the dermis⁶ ,and in the regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E
