What is Vitamin C Pureway-C?

Vitamin C Pureway-C is a Vitamin supplement available in 1 form.

Not all forms of Vitamin C Pureway-C are equal. The form you choose determines how much Vitamin C Pureway-C actually reaches your tissues, and the difference between the best and worst forms can be substantial. PureWay-C delivers higher and longer-lasting serum vitamin C levels compared to standard ascorbic acid, thanks to its lipid-metabolite delivery system. The lipid matrix (citrus bioflavonoids + fatty acids) facilitates cellular uptake through a different absorption mechanism than water-soluble ascorbic acid, resulting in faster onset and extended duration of tissue saturation.

Forms of Vitamin C Pureway-C Compared

Vitamin C (as Liposomal Pureway-C)™ Preferred (Preferred Form) has a bioavailability rating of high (S1 — best tier). Typical dose range: not yet documented in our database.

What the Research Shows

PureWay-C is a lipid-metabolite form of vitamin C that demonstrates enhanced absorption and retention compared to standard ascorbic acid. Research indicates the lipid matrix facilitates cellular uptake, resulting in higher and longer-lasting serum vitamin C levels. This form combines ascorbic acid with lipid metabolites (citrus bioflavonoids and fatty acids) for improved bioavailability.

PureWay-C showed highest serum levels (2.2 mg/dL at 2hr peak) compared to ascorbic acid (1.65), Ester-C (1.7), and calcium ascorbate (1.1) PMID: 18971870
233% increase in cellular uptake compared to ascorbic acid in lymphoblastic cell model (in vitro) PMID: 17901843
Liposomal vitamin C: +27% plasma Cmax, +20% leukocyte Cmax, +21% plasma AUC₀₋₂₄ vs standard ascorbic acid (n=27 double-blind crossover RCT) PMID: 39237620
