Study Notes
Vitamin C + R-Lipoic Acid
- Liposomal blend of vitamin C and R-lipoic acid to support immune function and detoxification.
- Each 2 mL serving provides clinically applicable amounts of antioxidants for broad antioxidant and detoxification effects.
Antioxidant Action
- Vitamin C is an essential micronutrient that cannot be synthesized by humans and must be obtained through diet or supplementation.
- Vitamin C has multiple critical functions due to its ability to donate electrons, acting as a classic and potent antioxidant.
- Vitamin C effectively scavenges free radicals such as superoxide and singlet oxygen, protecting cell membranes against lipid peroxidation.
- Lipoic acid is a powerful antioxidant that helps neutralize reactive oxygen species (ROS) both inside and outside of cells.
- Lipoic acid supports other antioxidants, including glutathione, ubiquinol, and vitamins C and E.
- Lipoic acid regulates the transcription of genes associated with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory pathways.
Immune Function and Detoxification
- Vitamin C supports both the innate and adaptive immune system as well as epithelial barrier function against pathogens.
- Vitamin C accumulates in immune cells, enhancing immune defenses, including generation of reactive oxygen species and microbial killing.
- Vitamin C has been shown to shorten the duration of the common cold.
- Lipoic acid downregulates levels of inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1B and IL-6, and helps to regenerate glutathione by enhancing Nrf2 activity.
- Lipoic acid supports both phase I and phase II detoxification by regenerating glutathione.
Delivery System
- Quicksilver Delivery Systems improve upon liposomal and emulsification technology with smaller, more stable particles.
- The delivery system enhances absorption rates, increases diffusion across mucus membranes, and supports cellular delivery.
