The ultrasound helps coat the vitamin C with Lecithin.
Someone please explain to me how this jewelry cleaner ultra sound thingy assists
above or beyond a normal chemical reaction.

Wow, I really love the mocking, hyper-skeptical call-anything-that-I-don't-personally-understand-into-question attitude of many of the most decibalically-mouthed posters here.
Actually, Professor Boyle, this seems to be based on legitimate principles of chemistry, nutrition, and pharmacology... three subjects which some of us here happen to take a regular interest in.
Down to bare-bones the concept is somewhat simple. The particles of ascorbic acid are supposedly "coated" with the lecithin in the same way one of these devices cleans jewelry. What it does is the ultrasonic waves passing through the liquid create tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny bubbles... far smaller than what could be created using other methods. In some cases this means you could achieve an effect with a sonic device like this, which couldn't be achieved otherwise. In other cases, a device like this will just speed the process. These little nano bubbles forming trap particles of ascorbic acid in the lecithin.
Coating one particle with another for increased bioavailability or biological penetration into a particular organ system (like getting certain molecules past the Blood Brain Barrier) is actually a concept / technique already being utilized in pharmacology.
But feel free to keep rolling your eyes and laughing at things you don't bother taking the time to understand, as though they are the misinformed ones.
I mean.... all that reading and checking facts before mocking someone takes time. And clearly, you're a busy person. Lots of posting to do. Lots of eyes to be rolled, and lulz to be lulled, right?

Give me one example, a legitimate one, that involves a jewelry vibrator.
Heat, enzyme, surface area.
And please, don't say a vibrator can be a catalyst.
A jewelry vibrator.
P.T. Barnum was right.

I've been trying to figure out a way around the soy as I am allergic to soy. Can the soy lecithin be substituted?Any suggestions?

I haven't experienced and negative effects though.
Thanks for your update. I love reading them. If you've been taking Lipo-C for going on 5 months, and still experiencing your elevated energy and alertness levels, I don't think you can write it off to placebo effect at this late date....JMOHO...

Read this and be enlightened: www.organic-chemistry.org... I in fact used a sonicator just the other day in the lab. But hey, what do I know? I'm just a chemist.
