I have read the existing scientific research on Liposomal C. from Hickey et al. The higher blood values comparable to IV use are only achieved with multiple higher oral dosages, at 5gr or above. I have not been able to substantiate the 98% absorption claim for lower dosages vs regular ascorbic acid/ascorbates, I believe it is an artificial deduction, one researcher measured the same blood values from 12grs of Ascorbic Acid vs 6grs of liposomal C. The question is also if the original commercial product (LivOn Labs) is made with whole lecithin or only certain phospholipid components of lecithin, this is still unclear. The Donasbach product seems to be made with several components, not the same as Livon. Also the question is if there is a special method of chelating the sodium ascorbate with the liposomal carrier. There is also the consideration of ingesting too much, perhaps toxic levels, of phospholipids with liposomal products. One relevant example is the high amount of phosphorus which can have a negative effect on calcium levels/absorption in the body.

I didn't think this was too bad at all, but I don't think the dollar is that low at the moment. I think if it is $145 then this is £97 in our money, so you would have to add on VAT to that. I can't remember if this included postage, but maybe not. I remember thinking it was all quite reasonable (apart from the bl...y VAT that is! which is the biggest con of all time!) dee On 1 Mar 2010, at 22:04, Kirsteen Wright wrote: > > > On Mon, Mar 1, 2010 at 8:22 PM, Dorothy Fitzpatrick <[email protected]> wrote: > It depends on how much it costs Kirsteen.
