I personally like the taste of the Lipo-C homemade versions. I have come across a number of people who cannot seem to stand the stuff. One was a German who claimed it reminded him of a detested whale oil medication he was forced to take as a child. To me, it does have a pleasant lemony fatty taste. Some people say it reminds them of fish. Perhaps the lemon and the fatty sensations which can also be associated with fish is part of it? As an herbalist who routinely makes tinctures and other forms of medication that are far from tasty and of which I have often been complained to----I say, to each their own. Nothing is perfect or everything pleasant in this world. Often the old axiom is quite true. NO PAIN, NO GAIN. We all have to find our own truths in life. If one detests homemade Lipo-c that much, don't take it!
I started out using the cheap harbor freight units, but quickly graduated to more top of the line units. Currently, I am only using laboratory grade American baserd Branson ultrasonic units which can allow timed sessions up to an hour long. I tend to process my lipo-C for around 40 minutes, cycling in 10-15 minute increments to avoid heating. My lipo-C seems to be less creamy than my original harbor freight formulations and to my palate, it is better tasting and hopefully, I am producing a smaller, more quality packed liposome, too. I might also add, that my cholesterol had been going up quite predictably every year for the last 4 years. Just this last summer, I seriously started taking my homemade lipo-c (3grams/day) and lysine powder (3grams/day) about 60 days before I had a yearly blood work done.on myself. For the first time ever in the last 4 years, my cholesterol readings went down 32 points! I am now doubling up on dosage to 6 grams of both Lipo-C and Lysine and will see if that will get my cholesterol readings down into normal range this coming next year. So far, looking good! doug
