Hi, I read this with interest because I have not been able to take vit C without stomach discomfort for many year. The only thing that seemed to work was the homemade LET C which helped me feel better without the stomach problem for about a month. After about a month I found I was again having stomach pains (I figure from the remaining unencapsulated C that) so I switched to the Livon Labs formula. With this formula I have *no* stomach pain... just more flatulence than I would prefer.
If anyone has an idea on how to make a high potency liposomal encapsulated cream I would love to hear it because I certainly feel better with between 10-15 g of vit C in my bloodstream! Thanks.

They were used in cosmetics as a delivery system for the 'actives' because they increased the bioavailability of the 'payload'. Then, folks extrapolated this concept to products taken internally. While it is true that certain ingredients are absorbed better when taken with fats, and there are certainly many products that are sold in a 'powdered' format that have 'spray dried' lecithin applied to them for this reason. Here is what happens, it has been my contention that buying oral liposomal products (typically more expensive) are a waste of money. Once the liposome is taken internally and the product reaches the stomach (when it is mixed with water), the lecithin and the product dissociate. This means they separate, so now the extra $ that you paid to have this process done is literally...undone. The bottom line is...you can get the same effect if you want to increase the bioavailability of an ingredient by just putting your lecithin into the same glass of water that you are taking the 'active' with. Now if for some reason you are using the lecithin to expidite a chemical reaction that 'changes' the active in some way before you take it, that would be a different story. Life will be much simpler if you just take the two together, this way as the stomach empties into the intestine, all ingredients will be there at the same time to 'do their thing' just like if they were in a liposomal form. A little test for you to try...if you take a bit of lecithin and put it into a glass of water (warm) you will notice that in a few mins. it will begin to disperse into the water. The same thing happens in the stomach.

It is not clumpy and doesn't look particularly dark, but there is a definite 'paint' smell to it. With this in mind I am going to get the one from Nature's Best here and see if it is different--it may just be me after all. Thanks for the info. dee On 21 Mar 2010, at 21:58, James Lembeck wrote: > Hi Dee, > Lecithin should have a light nutty flavor and it should not smell 'bad'. Again this (your product) may be an example of poorly processed product (poor QC), or the product may have been exposed to extremes in temperature during the shipping process that accelerated the degradation of what ever impurities there may be in the product.Someone else suggested that you not use it, I agree, if that little voice is telling you something is wrong...it may be right. > > I wish I could provide you with a retail brand name, but I haven't bought this product at retail for many years. We use it in the lab here, so I get it right from the manufacturer (10 kg at a time). We always keep it refrigerated, so I would suggest that you buy local so you have more control over the products quality. It sounds like one of the folks that replied has a good product...I don't recall if he provided a manufacturers name. > > > Doc > > -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
