Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C

This is not the Vitamin C that you regularly take. That Vitamin C may be a wonderfully powerful nutrient. But most of the Vitamin C in pills or capsules never reaches the bloodstream. Estimates of its absorption rate are less than 50%. Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C has a 90% absorption rate. It is the reason I haven’t had a cold since 2016.

I failed biology in high school, so I don’t presume to understand the following: “Liposomes are nutrient-filled, double-layered bubbles made from the same material that surrounds each of your cells. Liposomes protect and deliver nutrients to cells throughout the body. Liposome-encapsulated supplements offer maximized bioavailability with every dose….The lyposomal form of Vitamin C is directly metabolized by the liver, bypassing the digestive breakdown path for most nutrients and basically sneaking in via the fat processing mechanism. It is very easy on the stomach and does not trigger some of the responses (especially diarrhea) the body might have to ascorbic acid or mineral ascorbates.”

Contents: calories 10, fat 1 gram, vitamin C 1000mg as sodium ascorbate, sodium 120mg, essential phospholipids EPL 1000mg, (from soy) de-ionized water/alcohol 12% by weight. That’s it: no sugar, no starch, no flavors or colors.

Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C isn’t cheap: more than a dollar a dose. The Amazon reviews are extremely positive.  And did I mention I haven’t had a cold since 2016? [To buy a 30 dose box of Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C, click here.]

The taste is not consumer-friendly. A reviewer noted: “I can’t imagine a child would be able to drink it. I am forcing myself and gag many times.”

That reaction isn’t necessary. You don’t have to snip or tear the notched end off the packet, put it in your mouth, suck it… and live with the taste. You can snip or tear the notched end off the packet, squeeze the goo into 1-2 oz of your favorite cool beverage — I prefer orange juice — and drink in one gulp on an empty stomach. Note: The product will not dissolve in liquid. Do not stir. And do not use a hot liquid.

A cold-free winter? It’s just a click away.
