I make my own liposomal vit C. This stuff is frickin AMAZING!!!!!

a reply to: Ektar

Ektar - my batch is 2 cups lecithin (6 tablespoons lecithin) with 1 Cup Vitamin C (3 tablespoons vit-c).

Take it every day! Haven't missed a day.

The problem is I don't think I take enough. I take a 2 oz shot in the morning..... I should be doing that 2 x a day.

Hello all!
I spent about 4 hours last night reading up to page 88 of this thread, and then I read the last 5 pages, and then I went to bed with a smile on my face.
I will write about my mom's Liposomal journey that she will be starting soon. And hopefully I get to start my family on it as well. But I have some questions in the meantime.

First question is, I read that you guys were trying to optimise the recipe, then I got a bit lost... which post has the recipe now which everyone is happy with?

Also, to the long term users, is this something you are still taking a few times a day EVERY day? And as soon as you stop, can you feel the difference of stopping? I don't want to have such a high dependance on having the whole family take this xx a day, would taking this 3-4 times a week suffice unless one actually catches a cold etc.?

Anyone give this to their children, if so, how old are they?

You guys are awesome, and thanks for posting updates even 3 years later!

Julie Washington's post right above yours has simple formula plus links in her sig to a more condensed thread.

Sure this can be given to anybody but there is som unencapsulated C so too much too fast will cause the runs and it tastes vile so you may need to hide it in something. :-)

I give a 1 oz shot to the grand kids (5 and 7 years old) every day they are with me in their orange juice. So far this year no colds or flues.

I've (and hubby) been taking it every day for 3 years and plan to take it until I am so old I can't make it any more It's a simple daily routine and I also take it when I travel. Get up in the morning and start a pot of coffee and take my shot of vitamin c. Getting into the habit of taking it before bed.

My weekend routine is to make a double batch every Saturday. Once you have a routine, its easy.

When I felt something coming on I took a 2 oz. shot every 2 hours for 2 days (except while sleeping) and never got the runs so don't agree with the unencapsulated comment. And didn't get sick, so the cold/flu my body was trying to come down with never materialized.

And yes the taste was hard in the beginning... but now it's like a shot of sour lemon juice, don't mind it at all... you get used to it.

Taking it a couple of times a week won't hurt, but you won't get the internal healing affects so you might as well just take the over the counter capsules.

This is not just about not getting a cold, this is about lowering cholesterol, blood pressure, healing muscles, eyesight, killing cancer cells, healing the heart, etc, etc. It's much bigger.... Pick up a book by Dr. Levy.... and Please read the thread in my signature about Vitamin C.

Well you know the thing about dosage -- when you're fighting something off you can ingest far more ordinary C without reaching bowel tolerance...

Awesome that it has worked so well for the kids, too!

Merry Christmas to ALL!

I made 2 batches on Mon...changed it up wee bit.
4 cups water + 1/2 cup Liq Sunflower Lecithin
2 cups water + 6 tab Vit C
1 cup water + 2 tab sodium bicard

It was a little sour but it was much easier to mix &
I will get used to the flavor. This is the first time I
made 2 large batches & I think it will be much easier
& not as tedious to make.


Cheers
Ektar & Abby

Happy New Year to everyone! Hoping we all
continue to be healthy!
I am digging that I made the double batch! Finished
the first wine bottle & have 3 left.

Any new recipes?

Cheers

Hi there. I've been reading this thread and I gotta say, the anecdotal evidence is interesting. I'm pretty convinced of the benefits of Vit C. It does seem to be a near wonder nutrient.

However, and just playing devil's advocate here, early on in the thread there was some mention about actually testing your brew to see if you're "actually" making liposomal vit c. Has anyone done that? Or can you point to any studies done to show that this indeed what you're making?

I ask because I've seen a quote (can dig it up if needed) that you're really just making an emulsion, with zero liposomes. Granted, it seems to have alleviated the stomach problem with taking high doses, and that's always a benefit.

But I wonder if you're getting the full benefit. It seems like the cellular uptake would be different/not as expected. Has anyone done actual tests of their blood vit c levels? Or tissue saturation levels.

Not flaming. Just curious....

DIY-C is a micro-emulsion, with some natural liposomes, sonicated to reduce their size.

The nature of phospholipids (see youtube for some nice video demos) is to create liposomes naturally. This would happen by accident in a puddle if the lipids were warm and it got cool. It happens during this process.

The liposomes are too large to bypass the liver, but the sonication likely takes some % of them down. What percentage, and how far down in size it takes them, is impossible to measure except one batch at a time in a lab.

The percentage which are too large are still liposomal but they're unpacked at the liver rather than sent out around the body without unboxing, so to speak. As long as you don't mind the most important organ that probably needs C the most getting it, that isn't a problem anyway.

Those that are small enough can be distributed throughout the body.

Those that are part of the emulsion but did not get into a liposomal sphere may be digested through the initial upper intestine peyer's patches rather than the full system and bowel. Anything else will be digested in the normal way, through the full digestive tract.

I have taken a variety of commercial C's interspersed with DIY-C. Some in very high quantity. My conclusion, to my surprise, because I am a vitamin-C fanatic in a way, is that apparently sunflower lecithin is a far better supplement than anybody realizes. Because many of the benefits I gain I only seem to get with the DIY and the primary diff is high lecithin. Our diets tend to be very low in this element.

I've had symptoms of "high C intake" with mineral deficiency from a few days of 8g doses of DIY-C when I forgot to supplement, that I did not get (and should have) at even 4x the dosage of a couple commercial C's. I have no idea what to make of that. I don't know if they are not what they claim, or what.

So, we cannot really test the local brew. But then we cannot really test all the commercial options either.

RC

PS Tissues absorb and several organs maintain local collections of ascorbic. In fact this is why many illnesses are said to kill people via scurvy, because you can have a decent blood level of C while a tissue-specific area is drained of it to point of death. So I'm not sure how to use blood levels to test much, given even after dosing, I don't know how much a given body would take into the tissues, and the half-life is not high.

Julie....

In your post you state that you are using THREE Tbsp Ascorbic Acid in ONE cup H2O whereas the Brooks Bradley protocol calls for TWO Tbsp Ascorbic Acid in ONE cupH2O....

Is that a misprint on your part or a case of tweaking the proportions...?

It's actually by the weight -- the grams.

a reply to: Tarasco

Yes, I tweeked the recipe - Wanted it a little stronger Vitamin C

Bumping thread...I just made a double batch today.
I think I may need a new sonicator...it has NOT worked
as strong as it should in 18 months...March will be 3 yrs.

Hey mate that is interesting about the Sun Flower Lecithin
as that is the only one I have used.
Which one are you using? I had posted way back re best deal
but I use the Liq 32 oz bottles so it's easy to pour.

I took lipo C for a few weeks. I didn't notice anything.

I think a lot of it has to do with the placebo effect personally. The entire vitamin industry can be traced back to one guy (can't remember his name) in the 70's that popularized the whole thing.

The human body did not evolve over several hundreds of thousands of years to need insane levels of any specific vitamin. In America we pretty much get our nutrient requirements from our food. No one is getting scurvy here.

I've used both liquid and granules for the sunflower lecithin. Granules are cheaper. Liquid is ready right away but is like blackstrap molasses only stickier so usually I'd rather use the crystals. :-)

Results vary by input and need. I've had a lot of commercial C and mostly didn't get anywhere near the results I did with DIY-C, probably I'm guessing because the lecithin is a bigger need for me at this point.

Ascorbic being classified as a 'vitamin' is the worst thing that ever happened to us.

Best quote in the entire thread

Thanks. I credit Dr. Thomas Levy's book "Curing the Incurable" for making that so clear to me. :-)

Some of my notes on his book (for those onlookers who wouldn't read a whole book about the topic) are here:

Not sure I follow the last quote. Why is it the worst thing? It is a vitamin, by the definition of the term. What else would you classify it as?
