Lypo-Spheric, the Future of Lifestyle Vitamins
Apr 28, 2023 09:45AM ● By Dr. Robert YuOffering an array of remarkable health supplements, Tampa Bay Dental Implants, Periodontics and Oral
Surgery, in St. Pete, hones in on Lypo-Spheric Vitamins,
an amazing and innovative way to keep up with necessary daily nutrients, with
the help of liposomes. You may ask, what are liposomes?
The structure of a liposome mimics an adipose (fat) cell in
the body, which is why it’s acknowledged and absorbed better into the body.
Liposomes function by polar lipid molecules called phospholipids which
encapsulate the nutrients in a nano-to micro-sized sac, preserving them from
stomach acid, enzymes and other forces that might degrade the supplement.
Lypo-Spheric offers a variety of unflavored gel supplements
to fit most any lifestyle. All Lypo-Spheric products are vegan, sugar- and
gluten-free, and contain no GMOs. Vitamin C is one of the most popular supplements
offered in the office. One of the few “water-soluble“ vitamins, which means our
bodies are not capable of storing the complete necessary nutrients, it was
discovered in a study conducted by the National Institutes of Health, that a
maximum of only 200mg of non-liposomal Vitamin C was absorbed at a time. This
means when you consume a Vitamin C oral supplement at 1,000 to 2,000mg, your
body is only absorbing 200mg of that dosage. In support of liposomal Vitamin C
benefits, researchers found in a 2016 study that liposomal Vitamin C
provided substantial absorption compared to capsulized forms of oral
supplements.
Other than primates and
guinea pigs, humans are the only other mammal on Earth incapable of making
Vitamin C in the body. We lack the enzyme
L-gulonolactone oxidase (GLO) needed to make C from the glucose (sugar) in our
blood. Also known as ascorbic acid, Vitamin C is necessary for the growth,
development and repair of all body tissues. When you think of the benefits of
Vitamin C, your mind automatically goes to boosted immunity (which is amazing),
but it offers so much more than that. Vitamin C is involved in many body
functions, including formation of collagen, absorption of iron, proper
functioning of the immune system, wound healing, and the maintenance of
cartilage, bones and teeth. Insufficient Vitamin C intake can lead to fatigue,
depression, bruising easily and joint pain.
Lypo-Spheric R-Alpha-lipoic acid is another popular
supplement offered.
A liquid formulation of R-lipoic
acid was discovered to be better absorbed and more stable in plasma, suggesting
that it might be considerably
more productive than the
capsulated form in the management of a condition such as diabetic neuropathy.
Several studies suggest R-Alpha-lipoic
acid helps reduce blood sugar levels. Its ability to eliminate free radicals
may benefit people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, alleviating pain,
burning, itching, tingling and numbness in arms and legs from nerve damage. Because
alpha-lipoic acid is both fat and water soluble, the liposomes help create a
barrier to help the body absorb the full nutrients from the supplements. All
Lypo-Spheric products benefit a range of support from cellular heath to brain
and nerve function.
Vitamins work hard to
keep our bodies functioning properly, and they help drive essential processes
needed in our everyday lives. Each
nutrient is on a mission to deliver health benefits to help reach wellness
goals. Dr. Robert Yu cares tremendously about his patients’ health and
wellness, not only believing in these products and how they benefit overall
health, but ingesting these supplements to benefit daily life outside the
dental office! Dr. Yu shares, “Feel free to call with any questions regarding
these products; we’d love to answer them and see you in soon!”
