I believe this was covered in Brooks Bradley's first post on liposomal encapsulated Vitamin C. 1 gm of liposomal encapsulated Vitamin C is as effective as 10 gm of Vitamin C taken by IV. Equivalency relative to oral Vitamin C is more complicated and will depend on the form of Vitamin C taken. As I understand it, liposomal encapsulated Vitamin C is released from encapsulation in the liver. - Steve N

Is Del correct in LEP's advantage? When & where will the encapsulated mater, e.g. Vit c, be released from the lipid? Thanks I have a question about this. It is my understanding that liposomal encapsulation enables the encapsulated material to bypass processing by the digestive system and enter the blood stream directly. I can see how that might be great for some items like ascorbic acid (Vit C) that are in the pure form that cells can use immediately. But is it a good thing for any and all supplements? Don't we need a little discrimination here? Del
