I have been curious for a while why Livon Lab's liposomal C looks different
from our homemade stuff. I have come to the conclusion that one major reason
is that they use ethanol in the process and we do not. From what I am able
to read on the subject, it appears that if one incorporates an ethanol
fraction to lecithin it will produce a more jell like substance and it will
produce a higher quality liposome more stable under the acidic conditions
encountered in our stomach. Some of the studies that lead me to this:

and
bigbro.biophys.cornell.edu/publications/197_Polozova.pdf
My clue that Livon uses ethanol can be seen at:
http://www.livonlabs.com/cgi-bin/start.cgi/lypo-spheric/LivOn-FAQ.html#10
It seems to me they are underplaying the use of ethanol in their
lipo-spheric C, but this is what they write:
Q: Why is there alcohol in the Lypo-SphericTM Vitamin C?
A: There is alcohol in the product for preservative purposes. This is a
pharmaceutical grade natural grain alcohol which will not cause any ill
effects in the body. If you do not wish to consume the alcohol in the
product, open the packet and let it sit for 10-15 minutes to let the alcohol
evaporate. (Do not let it sit for more than 8 hours because it will
oxidize).
Anyone have further thoughts on ethanol and LET?
