"Because of their sub-microscopic size and their composition, liposomes slip right through the digestive system unharmed and unchanged. Then, they are readily absorbed by the intestines where they are transported directly to the liver via the lymphatic system. Once in the liver, the liposomes are digested and the Vitamin C is released." - Steve N From: James Lembeck [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, March 22, 2010 12:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: CS>lecithin Hi Dee, Please read my post to Harvey, for me to make an educated comment on the product you are talking about I would have to catch up to you regarding the research on this product.

He says they have had *huge* success with using this protocol i.e. LET Vit C in their research. It is not costing much because I am doing it at home (using Brookes recommendation) and combining my lecithin with the Vit C using an ultra-sonic cleaner. Look up Brookes Bradley in the archives and you will see what I mean. dee On 22 Mar 2010, at 16:39, James Lembeck wrote: > Hi Dee, > Just a thought regarding the form you are using the lecithin in, liposomes have been around for many years. 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. > > I hope this helps, > > Doc > >
