Could you get more from your Vitamin C supplement?
The body doesn’t produce or store vitamin C, which means many of us are missing out on its health-giving benefits. You should also consume it daily, not just in times of need.
Vitamin C Lipo-Sachets use patented technology to deliver a high dose of new generation liposomal vitamin C. They are proven to deliver 80% higher absorption than standard vitamin C* to help support your immune health and wellbeing.
Make sure your immune system is fighting fit for winter and beyond, by optimising your vitamin C intake.
Could you benefit from high dose liposomal vitamin C?

-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
