WHAT IS IT? 1 foil pack (1 teaspoonful) of Lypo-Spheric™ Vitamin C contains :
Other ingredients are water, lecithin, alcohol 12%. WHAT DOES IT DO? According to the manufacturer:
"Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C™ has been called
"Vitamin C on steroids!" This is because it utilizes state-of-the-art
Liposomal Encapsulation Technology (LET). LET allows the nano-scopic
spheres of Vitamin C to...
The Vitamin C and the encapsulating
phopholipids are nothing but pure, health-promoting, 100% nutrition.
In addition, "essential phospholipid" liposomes protect the Vitamin
C from several factors that can degrade and even render Vitamin C
ineffective.
Starting at the manufacturing stage, several additives and processes can limit the digestibility and bio-availability of Vitamin C. Often the product is buffered (to make it easier on the stomach), has binders and fillers added so it will stay together, and often times is “cooked” or “esterified” to extend shelf life. While in the bottle, free-radicals in the air can oxidize your Vitamin C. The longer it sits, the more oxidized it becomes. Then, the enzymes in your saliva, the digestive juices in your stomach, the bile salts in your intestines, and even the organisms in your G.I. tract can further degrade the Vitamin C before it ever gets absorbed in the small intestine. Plus, if you take more than 2 to 3 grams of traditional Vitamin C, the ascorbic acid in the intestines can cause gastric distress -- gas, cramps, and diarrhea. Often Vitamin C will be eliminated via your very loose stool. “Smart” Lyposomal Nano-Spheres™ avoid the degradation and discomfort associated with traditional forms of Vitamin C. How “Smart” Lyposomal Nano-Spheres™ deliver more bio-available Vitamin C into your system... First, each uni-dose of Lypo-Spheric™ Vitamin C is individually sealed in its own foil pack -- protected from the elements that could degrade the supplement before you use it. Secondly, the sub-microscopic liposomes surrounding the Vitamin C are virtually impervious to degrading substances in your digestive system. Thirdly, these “Smart” Lyposomal Nano-Spheres™ protect your lower G.I. Tract - hence, no gastric upset, no diarrheal flushing effect. Lastly, the liposomes quickly journey to the liver where they are metabolized and release their precious, liquid contents. Researchers theorize that the liver is the perfect release destination since this is where Vitamin C would be synthesized if you still had that ability. We believe that humans used to manufacture all the Vitamin C they needed. The fact is, we all have the necessary gene to produce a substance called L-gulonolactone oxidase (GLO). GLO is the only missing component in the human liver required to make Vitamin C. Unfortunately, almost all of us have a defect in that gene that prevents the production of GLO and therefore prevents the synthesis of Vitamin C. “Smart” Lyposomal Nano-Spheres™ deliver
the undegraded Vitamin C you need, in a form that is easily assimilated,
right to the organ that was created to use or distribute this powerful
nutrient throughout the cells in your body! " CAUTIONS Do not use if pregnant or nursing without consulting a medical practitioner. See Disclaimer.
DOSE To provide maximum Vitamin C benefit to your health, simply S-Q-U-E-E-Z-E the contents of one foil packet into your favorite juice or other cool beverage. The gelatin-like liposomes disperse with a stir and add little or no taste to your drink. . NHC
sells 30 foil pack boxes of Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C for
$35.95. The suggested retail price is $39.95.
