Has anyone else had a skin reaction to the lipo c? I made the mix after reading the original thread, the first day I took it I rode my bike 20 miles, after about a week I started to get these deep systic type outbreaks over my body. Not sure if this was from the lecithin not agreeing with my body or what, but I usually have very clear skin. They didn't act like normal pimples and get a head, they would stay deep in the skin. The location was not the typical place to break out, like the side of my shoulder and arms. Any thoughts, cause I would like to be able to start taking it again.
My guess is that you were using Soy Lecithin. Some people cannot tolerate Soy. I suggest you get the Sunflower Lecithin and make a new batch and try again.

would this help me do you think? and could anyone that has made it and it works good for them, could I buy like a 2 week supply from you to test out for cheap, before I spend a bunch of money on that jewelry cleaner and all the stuff to make sure it works, or can you point me to an ebay link that is the same stuff you are making that I can test out and I will just buy it the the first time then I will start making it if it works good?
Thanks.
Gout, a condition that afflicts more than 1% of U.S. adults, is characterized by abnormally high blood levels of uric acid (urate). Urate crystals may form in joints, resulting in inflammation and pain, as well as in the kidneys and urinary tract, resulting in kidney stones. The tendency to develop elevated blood uric acid levels and gout is often inherited; however, dietary and lifestyle modification may be helpful in both the prevention and treatment of gout. In an observational study that included 1,387 men, higher intakes of vitamin C were associated with lower serum levels of uric acid. More recently, a prospective study that followed a cohort of 46,994 men for 20 years found that total daily vitamin C intake was inversely associated with risk of gout, with higher intakes being associated with greater risk reductions. The results of this study also indicate that supplemental vitamin C may be helpful in the prevention of gout. Interestingly, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 184 adult nonsmokers reported that vitamin C supplementation (500 mg/day) for two months lowered serum concentrations of uric acid compared to placebo.

Well Consider me in the interested group. I am going to purchase the needed items Thursday, and I will report back with my own results as soon as I get my kit. Thanks for the killer condensed version Julie!
Peace...

Julie...thank you so so so so so so very much for posting this thread. I absolutely love everything there is to know about Vitamin C and it`s health effects.
Btw, a HUGE S&F for you and I wish I could give you this many more stars too....
I have always wondered how to make this stuff.
I read the immediate benefit is improved vision. I have some of my friends or people I know talking about getting laser eye surgery to improve vision. Do you think that this Vit C mixture could be a cure for poor vision?
I am excited to try this although I do not know where I could buy powdered acsorbic acid or lecithin for a decent price.
Any suggestions?
Cataracts
Cataracts are a leading cause of visual impairment throughout the world. In the U.S., cataract-related expenditures are estimated to exceed $3 billion annually (33). Cataracts occur more frequently and become more severe as people age. Decreased vitamin C levels in the lens of the eye have been associated with increased severity of cataracts in humans. Some, but not all, studies have observed increased dietary vitamin C intake (34, 35) and increased blood levels of vitamin C (36, 37) to be associated with decreased risk of cataracts. In general, those studies that have found a relationship suggest that vitamin C intake may have to be higher than 300 mg/day for a number of years before a protective effect can be detected

By the way, I just started researching about where to buy powdered lecithin, and I wanted to make a BIG point about something you need to be aware of, and that is:
BE AWARE OF LECITHIN MADE FROM GMOs.
We all know anything GMO has adverse effects on human body.
I found this link where they sell non-GMO Lecithin. Good buy?

I have type 2 diabetes and tried liposomal vitamin C (home made) for about two weeks.
The first thing I noticed was that my blood sugar readings were elevated after taking it.
I thought this was an initial reaction and things would settle down but it continued. Thinking that the readings were false (because my carbohydrate intake was well controlled) I persisted until I began to feel unwell with the same symptoms I have had when my blood sugars were uncontrolled, previously.
I attempted to reduce my carbohydrate intake substantially but my blood sugars began to oscillate wildly, taking me from hypoglycemia to hyperglycemia all the time.
I discontinued the liposomal vitamin C and tried standard vitamin C megadoses (using the same powder as I used in the liposomal vitamin C). My blood sugars returned to normal and the big swings stopped.
The results I got may have been due to the soy lecithin or the particular vitamin C powder, but I am able to use both, uncombined, and do not have an issue with them.
I would warn against using high doses of liposomal vitamin C for diabetics.
Hyperglycemia
In 1994, scientists at Arizona State University demonstrated that "megadoses" of vitamin C -- 2 g daily for 2 weeks -- resulted in delayed insulin response to a glucose challenge in healthy adults, presumably because vitamin C interferes with the absorption of glucose into the pancreatic cells that secrete insulin. This leads to a prolonged period of elevated blood glucose following a meal. The study's authors suggested this is probably not a problem for healthy people, but it could prove troublesome for diabetics.

The results suggest that megadose vitamin C supplementation may have a beneficial effect in diabetes mellitus patients on both glycemic control and antioxidant status. Thus dietary measures to increase plasma vitamin C may be an important health strategy for reducing the compliance of diabetic patients.

Ask your doctor before taking supplemental vitamin C.
