DEFENDER-C

Greal® Defender-C — Liposomal Vitamin C Matrix

Defender-C is a practitioner-grade chewable Vitamin C supplement designed to support immune system function, collagen formation and antioxidant protection. Formulated using a clean liposomal matrix and flavoured with natural Sicilian orange, it offers a premium approach to daily Vitamin C support without added sugar, alcohol, ethanol, PEG or PPG.

Formulation Rationale

Vitamin C is essential for immune function, connective tissue formation, gum and skin health, wound healing and healthy metabolic processes. Because the body cannot produce or store Vitamin C, consistent daily intake is important for maintaining optimal levels.

Defender-C provides Vitamin C in a chewable format supported by a phospholipid-based matrix (lecithin), designed for gentle, everyday use and a smooth flavour profile without the harsh solvents often found in liquid liposomal formulations.

Ingredient Philosophy

Each component of Defender-C has been selected for its role in supporting immune health, tissue integrity and antioxidant activity. The formulation uses a clean flavour and sweetener system — monk fruit extract, birch-derived xylitol and natural Sicilian orange — while lecithin is included to form the liposomal matrix. This reflects Greal’s commitment to precision, purity and evidence-aligned formulation.

Why Liposomal Vitamin C?

Defender-C uses lecithin (phospholipid-based liposomal matrix) to combine Vitamin C with naturally occurring phospholipid components. This structure supports gentle utilisation and a smooth sensory experience, offering a refined alternative to traditional liquid liposomal formulations.

Liposomal formats are valued for their compatibility with biological membranes and their polished delivery profile, making them a preferred option for everyday use.

Formulated for clinical use and practitioner guidance.
