***UPDATE: 1-30-13Well, I’m still going strong. It’s been a little over a week and I must say, I’m still very pleased with the results delivered from this product. In fact, my work load coincidentally increased over the past few days AND I have been subjected to two different, very sick children (goop hanging out of noses, coughing all over me) and I DID NOT pick up any of their illnesses. Plus: I still have increased energy everyday. Amazing. I had a few time constraints in the mornings too and have had to take this product on the road. I just love the accessibility of it. I can’t imagine not taking this Vitamin C ever again. I have increased my rating to Five Stars. Earned and well-deserved.Note: I would love to hear from those who have been ingesting this long-term as I have a few questions about use: should I be increasing the dosage over time and if yes, when should I start doing so and for how long? Should I be taking some form of Vitamin D with this to ensure optimum delivery/absorption? If I stop taking this, should it be a gradual process, like weening oneself off? I can’t ever imagine wanting to stop taking this however I don’t know if there are any side effects to being on this product long-term…and I read another post here about how someone got very sick after stopping their usage immediately. Due to my poor immune, I simply cannot afford to have that happen. So any other suggestions and comments are very welcome! Thank you all ~ stay healthy!!***UPDATE: 1-24-13Well, I didn’t get better in a week using this product. I got better in THREE DAYS. That’s just short of a miracle for my body. I’m back up to speed physically by 100%! I’m at full productivity without any signs of having a scratchy throat or low energy. I would have written sooner but I’ve been busy working! I’m still amazed. This product saved me. In case there is interest, on Day One, I only had a slight feeling that I could experience a loose bowel. But that never happened. That feeling has not been back. The consistency still makes me gag a little but following up with the juice shot completely gets rid of the short-lasting, bad-tasting moment for me. I also noticed I have quite a bit of energy on this stuff and I’m still only taking 1 packet a day. That is a comfortable amount for me and for now, I will stick with that dosage. I may write one more update should anything change but for now I will take this every day for good preventative care. I am forever grateful for this product.Original review:I have a weak/poor immune system that is getting worse as I get older (just turned 38). If I’m near someone with a common cold, 9 times out of 10 I’ll catch it. Where it might put that person out for 1-2 days, I’m out of commission for 1-2 WEEKS with swollen glands, a lasting sore throat, itchy/runny eyes/nose, low energy, etc. It always hits my head, throat, glands. Anyhow, I’ve been to so many doctors over the past few years without much to show for it except numerous ENT visits, prescriptions for anti-biotics, and large medical bills. So, I’ve decided to try this out as I’ll try anything at this point. I happen to be sick today and my symptoms are slowly getting worse. Therefore, I am on Day One for this Lypo-Spheric Vita C. My rating may be premature but for now, it is based on ease, taste, and cost. I will update my review once I have some results (or lack thereof).Ease: Using this packet is a cinch. I like that I can take it on the go if necessary. Just cut off one edge of the packet and insert into mouth and swallow or into liquid and drink.Taste: Well, it’s not so much the taste than the texture I think that puts people off. I took it by itself (tilted head back, squeezed orange-looking gooey contents to back of throat) and chased it with some water. A little got onto my tongue and the taste reminded me of a grain/wheat-like taste (one person said it was card-boardy tasting. I can see that…). On the plus side: atleast it doesn’t take like raw vitamins or have a bad aftertaste. In fact, there isn’t really much of an aftertaste. The texture is mucous-like, and to me anyway, put me off a little (only slightly grossed me out). The water helped. Use the cold juice if you need to but I can see how that process is more work (like mixing oil and water; don’t bother if you can muster taking the packet alone).Cost: Some may say this is costly, especially if you’re using more than one packet a day. I only took one today, in the morning, on an empty stomach, to see what results I get that are measurable. I may increase it to two packets (1 morning, 1 evening) if needed. Ultimately, you should decide what’s worth your money (and time): Preventative Health Measures or Emergency Visits/Missed Work?The Big Test: I work with children in private homes. Yes, they have their sick moments. Yes, this is cold/flu season. So in short, if these packets keep me healthy when I’m around an adult or child who looks sick, is sick, or is even thinking about becoming sick, I will be SOLD. FOREVER.I will report back when I have been using this product for atleast a week and can share my personal results.

======= Update April 2020 =======Was it COVID-19? We may not know for over a year…but we think it probably was.It started on our wedding trip to Hawaii, my (now legal) husband had a sore neck so bad he couldn’t turn his head and when he tried to drink our regular nightly wine, he vomited immediately each time for 3 days. This went on despite several envelopes of Lypo-spheric C throughout the day – that said, he credits it with being able to get him to the church on time. I’m so glad I brought a box with us! By the time we left Hawaii, he was feeling pretty normal again, but two days after our arrival back home, his neck moved into my lower back for no apparent reason. Neither of us ever had anything like a fever or chills – just these odd-ball pains out of nowhere and my husbands puking and a couple of other “that’s never happened before” symptoms. Within a week or so of the onset of my back pain I woke up with a sore throat. I did what I always do, taking 3 envelopes per/day to kill the crud. It did not kill it. 3 days later my mother whom we live with woke up with a sore throat and, although my throat was no worse, it was still tickling and I started feeling ‘tight’ in my chest. I started my mother on the same amount of envelopes that weren’t working for me along with some plain ascorbic acid. The next day, my husband woke up with a sore throat….of course you realize – this means war.By this time it was mid/late-March and I was very concerned. for my 87 year-old diabetic mother. I stumbled onto a protocol of mega-dosing A/D/aspirin and added it to our C regime. 50,000iu D3/k2 + 50,000iu A (not beta carotene) – that combination taken once and repeated after 12 hours if there are still symptoms (not to be done more than two days or if you are on immunosupressant meds, though I’m not sure why about the latter, just what I read).In addition we took 500 to 1,000mg ascorbic acid & a plain aspirin (do not substitute another nsaid) every hour that day. We also upped our envelopes to 4. The next day neither my mother or husband had any symptoms, and none of us had any issues with the protocol we had followed. Since I had been dragging on for days with it, I repeated the procedure for a second day just to be sure, and importantly, we all kept up the lypo-spheric C envelopes at 3/day for the next 3 days to make sure whatever it was didn’t resurface.We can’t be sure it was COVID-19, but we will never travel again without two boxes of envelopes with us.======= Original Review =======My husband hardly ever gets sick and powers through it when he is, but I get sick when someone just mentions that there’s a crud going around and I can’t manage to power through it, when I get hit, I get hit hard. I’ve been a believer in Vitamin C, but regular ascorbic acid supplements only worked for preventing illness if I took it every hour or two throughout the day AND there wasn’t any excess physical or mental stress going on at the time. That’s a cost effective approach, but only when it works. Also, I can’t say for sure that plain ascorbic acid ever really shortened something when it already had a hold of me, though absolutely it could scare off the symptoms a bit taken in the right quantity and timing. Then there is Lypo-Spheric C which is AMAZING and hardly even compares – it will stop the common cold dead in it’s track. Yes, it’s spendy – but think of how much misery you will avoid. Husband and I have been taking these packets for over a year, but just yesterday it was again so obvious how worth it they were, I just had to come and write a review. We both knew we’d been fighting off some crud that was going around, and we were being pretty successful with just one packet/day – then one day I did a lot of physical work and right after dinner, my throat hurt and I felt like crap. I took one packet (I’d forgotten it that morning, no doubt why the crud got the better of me in the first place) and went to bed. When I woke up in the night I took another. The next day I was functional, but I could still feel the crud trying to take me down – I took several throughout the day and felt 100% better/normal after dinner that evening. Others with this crud have been walking around for over a week sounding and looking like death-warmed-over. This product is so worth the money to us since I catch everything that comes along. THANK YOU for making it! I wish Linus Pauling could have lived to use this product.

This is hands down the best vitamin C money can buy. It is very effective and the Absorbtion is superior.These are great for daily use to increase collagen production and reduce wrinkles. And they are great to use if you are sick, they help you heal fast.

Now, more than ever, it’s important to take care of our health and do our best to avoid illness. Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C is a big part of my wellness plan.Most people associate vitamin C with the immune system and know we need sufficient vitamin C to ward off colds and other viruses and to fight them if and when we do get sick. But vitamin C does a lot more. It reduces the risk of chronic disease as well as acute, it can help protect the heart and blood vessels, it helps prevent anemia, and it may prevent dementia in older persons. And that’s just the beginning of the list of benefits.If you simply swallow a vitamin C tablet or capsule each day, it’s better than not taking any vitamin C at all, but most of the vitamin (up to 97%) can be lost as it passes through the acidic environment in your stomach. Liposomal vitamin C is encapsulated in a layer of fat that allows it to pass through the acidic environment of the stomach without being destroyed. According to LivOn, this means that liposomal vitamin C delivers 200% more vitamin C than the standard tablet or capsule, and you, of course, are the beneficiary. According to LivOn’s Website, the liposomes, themselves, contribute to our nutrition.As someone who doesn’t like to take large pills, I like the fact that I can simply open a packet of this liposomal vitamin C, pour it in a glass, and down it in one swallow. I was a little reluctant, at first, to take 1,000 mg., since 75-90 mg. is the usual recommended daily dose, and I’m no believer in mega-vitamin therapy for anything. However, I’ve suffered no ill effects from the high dose, and I don’t expect to.Due to an accident, I’ve had two cornea transplants (one in each eye), and due to the cornea transplants, I’ve developed dry eye syndrome in both eyes. Drops do help greatly, but after taking Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C for a few months, I find I usually don’t even need the drops. I also feel I sleep better and have a lot more energy during the day, though it’s calm energy; I’m never nervous and jumpy like some people are if they drink too much caffeine, etc.I also love it that this vitamin C contains no GMOs, sugars, starch, artificial flavors, artificial colors, flavors, gluten, hexane, or meat or dairy products. It’s suitable for vegetarians like me and even for vegans. Some people say it tastes terrible, but it really doesn’t. Just put some water in a shot glass, pour in the vitamin C, and swallow. There won’t be any taste at all.If the health benefits aren’t motivation enough to take this, your skin needs vitamin C to look its best. It needs a lot more than vitamin C, of course, but vitamin C plays a huge role in bright, beautiful skin. Many of us use expensive vitamin C serums on our face, but unless we have adequate vitamin C in our body, our skin isn’t going to be able to glow, and we won’t be able to make adequate collagen and elastin, two substances that keep our skin young and bouncy looking.I love this vitamin C, and I’m trying to get everyone I care about to take it daily. You should be doing that, too. (I also take LivOn’s L-Carnitine to counteract the aging effects of sugar, since I don’t eat meat.)

Liposol provides better absorption on a cellular level. Less waste and more energy. I’ve been using this product for a few years and will only use it going forward.

UPDATE – November 21, 2015:I have just had the shortest cold of my life, thanks to this stuff. One Sunday morning, I awoke with a raw throat and sinuses, and that unmistakable feeling that I was heading for a serious cold. I had recently ordered several boxes of these for a cleanse experiment over the holidays, inspired by an interview with Andrew Saul at FatBurningMan, and in reading Levy’s books, so I decided to start my experiment early. I began taking one of these every hour or so all day Sunday. I continued taking it like that most of Monday as well.By Tuesday, symptoms had radically subsided, and I slowed down my C intake. By Wednesday, I was nearly symptom free and felt very energetic, and by Thursday I only had some minor sniffles left. Usually this kind of cold makes me miserable for 5-7 days, and takes another week or more to feel fully recovered. I reached the various mileposts I recognize in the progressions of my colds many times faster with massive doses of this Vitamin C. I was only miserable for a day and a half, was obviously well on the way to recovery in three days, and felt completely over it in 6 days. Also, from Wednesday morning on, I also felt an incredible sense of happiness – almost a sense of joy, even while still sick. I did somewhere between 22-25 packets over the first two days, which is around 25 grams of C, but closer to the equivalent of 75 to 100 grams of regular oral C, according to page 133 of Levy’s book, “Primal Panacea:”
Primal Panacea
I am convinced. I have been radicalized. I am now going to make increased use of Vitamin C a major life goal, and will begin annoying my medical practitioners with the need for educating themselves about C. The lives which could be saved with Vitamin C number in the millions every year. It is time we do something about this. I strongly recommend Levy’s and Saul’s books and websites. The amount of evidence for the near miraculous healing power of C is staggering and heavily documented in the hard literature for nearly 100 years, yet allopathic medicine continues to let people die rather than heal them with C. There is something seriously wrong with that.Many people are now making their own version of this at home (just look at the reviews of ultrasonic jewelry cleaners) for less money. But even at this price, I encourage you to try it. Yes, it costs a bit much, but it is cheaper than being sick.Of course, this is “only anecdotal” and is not intended to diagnose or treat any disease, etc., etc., etc., blah, blah, blah.**************************************************************************************************************************************************************This is the stuff which helped the New Zealander wake up from a pneumonia induced coma and walk out of the hospital after doctors had given up on him and were ready to let him die.It’s a great story about people healing a loved one, and a cautionary tale if you trust allopathic medicine.This stuff tastes pretty strong – I liken it to orange flavored motor oil. Most people will definitely want to mix it with juice or something – I take it straight and follow it with strong coffee.Research shows it to be a very effective form of Vitamin C.
Dr Lisa Wiedeman –
When I learned that vitamin C can be so beneficial, I knew I had to research the best form of Vit C to take. I’m an optometric physician and don’t take doing my research lightly. This form of Vit C IMO is the gold standard of vit C. Pleasant and easy to take too.

I notice an improvement in skin texture within days of taking this supplement.
Ana Dahl –
This is my favorite vitamin C. I actually feel a difference when I take it and I even sleep better which I’m assuming is from the phospholipids. It took me a few tries to figure out the best way to take it, but now it’s super easy. Don’t try to just take it right out of the package because it tastes terrible, follow the instructions and take it like a shot with water. I’ve never experienced any side effects from it.
Diane loporto –
This vitamin C with its absorption technology gives you the deliverance you need into your system better than any pill or capsule. You are supposed to add with water but I just squirt it in my mouth with a chaser of OJ, this works better for me personally. This by far the best I ever had! Could not rave enough about it. Haven’t been such once since I started taking 2 years ago! Go Buy!
