Vitamin C is another very important antioxidant that also is used throughout most cells in our body. Vitamin C is critical for immune support and also helps in energy production and many other incredible incredibly important pathways and functions without within

0:18

our body. Glutathione and other antioxidants help support vitamin C and vitamin C helps support other antioxidants as well. Many of them work very well together. And so that's why we finally took the time to create a vitamin C product that's worthy of the

0:34

VARS name, validated, absorbable, reduced, and stable liposomaal vitamin C. And that's exactly what we've done right here with VARS liposomaal vitamin C gummies. Now, the liposomes that we use in this one are the same or very,

0:49

very similar to the ones that we use in our Vars glutathione capsules. And what's cool about these liposomes is that they are designed to be extremely absorbable but also to survive the stomach acids. Now, this is where most products uh most supplements that you

1:06

take, they're they get broken down in the stomach and then hopefully they get broken down into their amino acid parts many times um into just very small versions that aren't the actual component that you took. And so the idea is you supplement with that and then

1:22

your body then recreates it and you get a benefit from it hopefully down the road sometime. But that's what's cool with FAR's liposomaal products. They're designed to survive the stomach, the stomach acids, and then be absorbed directly in the small intestine. That's

1:37

exactly what we've got going on with this bars liposomaal vitamin C. What's really cool with the bioavailability and the absorbability of this product is that it's only 125 milligs of vitamin C, which per dose, which is a pretty small dose. So, one gummy, 125 millig, but 125

1:55

millig of vars liposomaal vitamin C is equivalent to about 600 mg of any other vitamin C product. So, you're getting much much more of a functional dose. And that's why it's bars. That's why it fits in our bars line because it is a truly

2:12

absorbable and functional version of vitamin C. So check out bars liposomaal vitamin C, bars glutathione, bar sod. All three are incredibly great, important antioxidants that will benefit your life unlike you've ever imagined.

2:28

So check them out. Check out our new Bright Brain 2 and MTHR Daily. All the products are fantastic. If you're wondering if you need these products, look at our genetic testing. look at our cellular intra our intracellular micronutrient testing uh to see what deficiencies you have and what

2:43

deficiencies you will have based on your genetics. That's what we love doing here at the Perser Wellness Clinics. Uh Dan Perern has led the charge on this um over the years and we are so happy to help as many people as we can. So reach out to our clinic if you have any questions. We're happy to help.
