She meant 1 Tbsp ascorbic acid.

Hi there,
After reading every page of this thread and a lot of things about Lipsomal Vit C i decided to give it a try.
Before ordering the ingredients i chose to go with Lypo-Spheric Vit C from LivOn and so far, i must say that i'm pretty disapointed with the results.
I took 5 to 7 grams/packets for a few days and didn't experienced any kind of "energy" or "good-mood" feeling. I'm not such a healty guy so obviously these would have been perfect areas of effect for the Lipo C; yet it didn't happen.
So i'd like to know if there was people here wich did not feel these things from the sodium ascorbate from Lypo-Spheric, but might have after switching to ascorbic acid and making their own liposomal vit c.
Thanks

Vitamin C degrades above 70 degree Celsius, not Fahrenheit (note that human body has is ~98 F which would destroy it if it degrades at 70F).

Vitamin C can tolerate a low heat to 120 F safely for a short period of time. There is some degradiation even at room temperature.
The far larger damage to Vitamin C comes from oxygen.

LAUXABEL - read the linked PDF file.
It's a complicated answer. The PDF file is a study on the degradation of vitamin c to air and heat and the affects over periods of time.
Exposure to air is the worse.
When you read the report you'll see that there is little lost up to 130 degrees if only held at that temp for less than 60 minutes. There is also very little lost when refrigerated.
It's about understanding that the combination of air and temperature and time causes the loss of vitamin c.
The result also indicated that while a significant reduction in ascorbic acid contents was noticed within 60 minutes of exposure in tablet and grape juice no such significant change was observed in the laboratory grade until 120 minutes. However, rapid loss of the vitamin was noticed at 180 minutes of exposure.

Okay, so that was really confusing. What is your source?
Vitamin C degrades above 70 C (which is 158 F).
The human body is not minus 98F....
ugh...
