Why Higher Blood Levels of Vitamin C Don't Mean Better Health

Liposomal Vitamin C has been marketed as the “better vitamin C,” but does it really deliver extra benefits? I’m Dr. Joanette, an ER doctor for over 30 years, and in this video I break down what the research actually shows, including what liposomal vitamin C does differently from regular vitamin C, how it affects absorption, and whether it truly helps your cells, immunity, or longevity. We’ll cover how regular vitamin C is absorbed, why mega-doses can cause stomach upset, the science behind liposomal delivery, and who might actually benefit from a supplement. I also explain why more vitamin C is not always better and why a balanced diet often provides what you need. By the end, you’ll know how to make a smart decision for your health without getting caught up in hype, marketing claims, or unnecessary mega-doses. ⏱ Timestamps 00:00 – Introduction 01:00 – How regular vitamin C is absorbed and limits 02:10 – How liposomal vitamin C works 03:40 – What higher blood levels actually mean 05:20 – Who may benefit from supplementation 06:45 – Key takeaways and longevity perspective Don’t forget to subscribe for more health tips and recipes! @‌DrJoanette Website: growwithdrjoanette.com Follow for More!
