If it does work, it will save me a lot of money in the long run by not having vitamin C IV as they cost about $150.00 per session. Thank you.

I use ______ vitamin c which I order from Amazon. I was introduced to it by the Dr. who gave me stem cell therapy. I asked if I should get vitamin c IV therapy and he told me about this product and said it was as effective as vitamin c IV. What makes it so effective is its delivery system.

Hi Robyn... Ordinary glutathione, taken orally, is not absorbed that well into the body from the intestines and would perhaps be better absorbed in lyposomal form. See this link:

If you can't afford the store-bought liposomal glutathione -- you can also make it from glutathione powder in the same way as home-made liposomal vit c:

Supplementing glutathione precursors -- such as selenium, acetyl l-cysteine and glutamine -- is also more useful and cheaper than directly supplementing glutathione.

I am presently using Lypospheric Vit C, and am considering using the BHT. Is there any experience out there with this particular form of Vit C interfering with the BHT? --T.Replied by Timh (Louisville, Ky, Usa) on 09/28/2012
Question: how does Liposomal Vit-C compare to other lipid C products like Pureway® and Ascorbyl Palmitate???Replied by Oscar (Syracuse, New York) on 09/28/2012
Dear Wayseeker, I do NOT know what the difference is between ______ vitamin C and normal vitamin C is. I looked into it and could find no difference in molecular structure at the websites discussing this. Anyway, Vitamin C does NOT seem to negatively effect the BHT treatment if taken in moderate dosages [ 250mg to 500mg of vitamin C per day ]. And moderate doses of vitamin C may help. Some people feel it does help if taken in moderate dosages....OscarReplied by Wayseeker (Modesto, Ca/ Usa) on 09/28/2012
From what I understand, ______ Vit. C has been broken down into nano-particles, that are readily absorbed into the bloodstream, almost like an injection of Vit. C (@$150.00 a pop! ). One can make this at home (see you-tube videos) but I just buy it, as it costs less than 10% of a getting a shot, or $1.00 per serving. Vit C traditionally reads 1,000 mg. = 1 gram per serving; but in translation, with ______ Vit C, one may equal the same given in a small shot. That's as close as I can get to understanding the doctor's research.
Researchers seem to be saying, it is better to use more than less. I found a few docs that clearly say it is sometimes good to "front-load" for a couple of days /weeks', which means a 'double serving' --just like in a bar-- (standard being 1-2 servings) plus a splash more for good measure. This would seem to mean to do 3, to 4-5 servings for a brief, hard run at it. If you hit diarrhea, back off slightly, --or so they say.
I only take two servings a day, following instructions. --T.

Hi Timh... I've had a good look at Pureways C on their website and they seem to make all sorts of claims as to how well their form of Vitamin C is better absorbed -- including the fact that they have a patent pending on their product. But, after spending much time searching their site, I can find little actual research proof for their claims and could find no references to their patent. From what I've read, they use bioflavenoids and other co-factors to increase absorption of Vitamin into the blood. But their product still uses the ascorbic acid or vitamin c pathway for absorption into the blood -- which is much more inefficient than using the lipid or phospholipid pathway as happens when you take liposomal vutamin c.
For similar reasons, Ascorbyl Palmitate will also likely be poorly absorbed into the blood because it will first be broken down into palmitic acid and ascorbic acid during digestion and the ascorbic acid will just take the usual vit c pathway into the blood -- so no apparent gains there either. And even if the ascorbyl palmitate takes the amino acid pathway -- this is also an innefficient pathway into the blood, which really does not compare with the absorption rates of vit c using the liposomal pathway.

Dear Bill, they also make glutathione. Do you think this might be absorbed well? Tested for gluathione and am very low. I found where I have used fulvic acid before (very expensive $45 a bottle), with everything I try to notice for the smallest difference but there was none.Replied by Timh (Louisville, Ky, Usa) on 09/29/2012
Bill. Thanx again for your professional advise, which does confirm my personal opinion as I have noted the same side effects as the regular C w/ Rose Hips. I suppose the best way to take non-lipospheric C is, like, every 2 hrs or else loose it down the pipe.Replied by Ray (Brooklyn, Nyc) on 09/05/2016
I seek the life-extension & health benefits of Mega-dose "C" & BHT (ala: Denham Harmon, & like Pearson & shaw); But, I worry about possible negative interaction between Lyposomal (livonlabs) "C", & BHT ("stripping lipid coating")? I guess even Diatomaceous Earth could damage "lipid-coating". I hope to find out that Lypospheric C is not vulnerable to "stripping" by BHT, of cutting by Diatom skeletons. any help should benefit any & all "Life Extenders". Thanks
