How much distilled water are you using for each?
Here are my results:
1 Cup + 3 Tbls of lectithin - after soaking for 30-45 (stirring often) minutes is goopy. After mixing with the hand mixer for a minute or two is still goopy.
1/2 Cup + 1 Tbls Vitamin C - like clear water.
After mixing them together with the hand blender the goopynish goes away and looks more like a milky yellow water mix.

That's exactly what I'm using - 1.5 c of distilled water, in total. The lecithin is completely dissolved after shaking, letting set and then mixing with my stick blender.

I guess I'm not understanding the shaking part.... there is no shaking involved in my process.
Are you stirring the lecithin often while it is setting? (Are we using the same thing here soy lecithin grandules)?
I found a batch I made that I didn't stir regularly while it was soaking for 30 minutes didn't come out right and had to throw out. I'm wondering if the process is very sensitive to the exact recipe?

Julie, I could (almost) swear I found glutathione powder on Puritan's Pride website last week but decided to buy a bottle of caps locally because the powder was too expensive. Just checked, not there. But I did find some
LipoCeutical™ Glutathione here and it is also very expensive! So now I'm contemplating breaking open a few of the capsules and adding to my next batch of lipo C.edit on 18-1-2013 by Toots because: grammar correction

Is the weight to price ratio better when you buy the Glutathione caps and open them? Or is it purely because the powder is just prohibitively expensive in all quantities?
EDIT TO ADD - would mixing Glutathione in with Ascorbic Acid damage/destroy the Glutathione? If not I think I'll be using this method.edit on 18-1-2013 by boxertwin because: (no reason given)

Injected Glutathione
Glutathione occurs naturally in our bodies, and as we age the levels drop steadily. Injected supplements may help reverse this decrease, and the good news is that there are no known side effects when receiving these injections.
Glutathione may interact with certain drugs when it's taken intravenously. It makes certain chemotherapy drugs less toxic and even may cut down on the potential side effects.
Glutathione also may boost the healing properties of chemotherapy drugs, and this is why it often is given to patients before a chemotherapy session.
It seems that glutathione can help slow down the aging process, helps treat various diseases, and even may destroy cancer cells, but if you're unsure of how to take it, you may want to talk to your doctor first. This is probably the best way to make sure you're taking safe dosages in a way that won't interact with any medications you're taking.
