Headache Relief: LivOn Laboratories Lypoâ€"Spheric Vitamin C â€" 30 Packets â€" 1,000 mg Vitamin C & 1

Keep on hand for emergencies

Although I had some questions about the country of origin of the product, which were not resolved, I went ahead and ordered a box of Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C. Yesterday I had the opportunity to put a packet to the test. A Headache/jaw ache developed and while I usually endure such maladies without resorting to medications of any sort I woke up in the middle of the night with a dry mouth and throat; the later seemed to be swelling/constricting. I thought that this could be the beginning of some bacterial or viral infection so I stumbled out of bed (I really did stumble!) and finding the Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C (on top of a bathroom cupboard) I proceeded to follow the directions and mix it in about six ounces of some rose-hip drink. Not having a hand blender I used a salad dressing mixer (battery operated) to mix things up. I drank the concoction and returned to bed. I woke up five hours later feeling totaly "cured" of what ever it was that afflicted me previous; both the Headache, on both sides of the head in temple region along with the jaw ache and constricted throat feeling were gone. Only hours ago I administered another packet of Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C to my elderly mom who was complaining of a 'woozy' feeling in her head and a sickish feeling in her gut and was coughing-up some brownish material. Although these episodes may be due to her advanced age, she soon, after taking the Lypo-S, declared herself to be feeling much better. Was the Lypo-S Vitamin C responsible for recovery in both instances? I cannot be 100% sure, but my subjective feeling is that it was instrumental and for that reason I give it a five star rating. Furthermore, when I stumbled out of bed I injured my right wrist (sprain?) along with a few other bumps and bruises all of which I feel are healing at an increased rate which may also be due to the Lypo-S Vitamin C. I highly recommend this product be kept on hand for emergencies. Update: 8th May 2014 I am now seeing the disappearance of a toenail fungal infection that I have had for over four years...is it possible that the use of Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C is having a positive effect on this affliction as well? I should like to say that I have recently received and have begun using the AGE Blocker (B vitamins?) lypo-spheric product also. I bought it to administer to mom but I too am using it. These products may cost some bucks but I look at it this way: "it's only money and you can't take it with you". If you lose your health you've lost more than money can buy so.... And no I am not affiliated in any way with the maker of this product or any of its distributors, retailers, etc., etc.,

Great for Autoimmune Disease!!

This product is truly amazing. I was diagnosed with UCTD (undifferentiated connective tissue disease) early this year and have been searching for natural ways to ease the symptoms. When I first took this stuff I had a pounding migraine Headache for 2 weeks, bit I'm just chalking that up to vitamin C detox symptom, because after 2 weeks of taking this I felt AMAZING. My nasty symptoms were almost non existent (minus the Raynuads because NOTHING works for that). I would HIGHLY recommend this product for anybody that is suffering from some sort of ailment. The bad reviews are probably coming from people who are not sick and can't tell the difference anyway. My husband says that it looks and feels like a luge going down your throat....and he's right. I drink wheat powder shots in the morning and I just put this in the bottom of the glass and stir it up. It doesn't break up very easily and it also tastes horrible so big gulps are the way to go. I honestly like the fact that it looks gross and tastes horrible because when I take normal vitamin C that tastes like candy...I know it's not really doing anything for my body. This product is the real deal. I take ALOT of vitamins and powders and I can honestly say I rely on this product the most to make me feel good and keep me healthy. Yes the price makes me cringe too but it's worth it. I take one every other day so it lasts longer. For people that are looking at this for natural ways to cure yourself....DO IT! My doctor threw steroids and an anti-depressant in my face and kicked me out of his office. We cannot rely on doctors anymore, all they care about is $$$. We must FIX the problem and cure ourselves. Good luck on your journey to recovery

I advise you to use extreme caution! Took for almost a month landed in the ER. Horrendous Acid Reflux

I advise you to use extreme caution! Took for almost a month landed in the ER. Horrendous Acid Reflux. I am still unwell right now. Made me extremely ill. I pray I did not injure one of my organs. I have been reading and researching. This is Directly from the Mayo Clinic. And it is the truth please be careful. "Safety The U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not strictly regulate herbs and supplements. There is no guarantee of strength, purity or safety of products, and effects may vary. You should always read product labels. If you have a medical condition, or are taking other drugs, herbs, or supplements, you should speak with a qualified healthcare provider before starting a new therapy. Consult a healthcare provider immediately if you experience side effects. Allergies Avoid if sensitive or allergic to any ingredients present in Vitamin C products. Side Effects and Warnings Vitamin C is generally regarded as safe in amounts normally obtained from foods. Vitamin C supplements are also generally regarded as safe in most individuals in recommended amounts. Vitamin C may cause abdominal cramps or pain, chest pain, dental erosion, dizziness, diarrhea, faintness, fatigue, flushing, gut blockage, Headache, heartburn, increased risk of lung cancer, increased risk of Parkinson's disease, inflamed esophagus, injection site discomfort, nausea, red blood cell complications, skin tingling or irritation, slowing of endurance training, thickening of blood vessels close to the heart, urinary complications, and vomiting. High doses of vitamin C have been associated with multiple adverse effects. These include blood clotting, death (heart-related), kidney stones, pro-oxidant effects, problems with the digestive system, and red blood cell destruction. In cases of toxicity due to massive ingestions of vitamin C, forced fluids, and diuresis may be beneficial. Use cautiously in chronic, large doses. Healthy adults who take chronic large doses of vitamin C may experience low blood levels of vitamin C when they stop taking the high doses and resume normal intake. Vitamin C in high doses appears to interfere with the blood-thinning effects of anticoagulants such as warfarin. Caution is advised in people with bleeding disorders or those taking drugs that affect bleeding. Dosing adjustments may be necessary. Vitamin C may affect blood sugar levels. Caution is advised in people with diabetes or hypoglycemia, and in those taking drugs, herbs, or supplements that affect blood sugar.

Use cautiously in people taking antibiotics, anticancer agents, HIV medications, barbiturates, estrogens, fluphenazine, or iron supplements. Use injected vitamin C cautiously, especially in high doses, as it may lead to kidney function problems.

Very quick results overnight for a stubborn cold and sinus issues

I knew these were well rated and I bought a while back. I took consistently for a while, but then it got to be a little bit of a hassle having to mix with water and drink. The taste, if I can even call it that...it's more like no taste, more a texture or feel, it's not terrible, just got tired of taking it every day. I do well with capsules and take a lot of them daily. Long story short, I came here to write this review because I've been dealing with a nasty cold that my husband shared with me. It's been awful, my nose was raw from blowing and tired and achy, lots of sneezing, Headache, body aches etc...I've been downing all my immune booster supplements and allergy supplements, drinking fluids etc. The last night I was so miserable and it's been days and I remembered about this Vitamin C....what do I have to lose. I took a couple of pouches and downed them in my tea and drank the whole thing. I woke up today and I haven't sneezed once, hardly any drainage, my head is clear...I'm like WOW...I have to write review, because this is a very quick cause and effect and it's the only thing I did different last night. I'm now a believe in this delivery system and may have to invest in more lypo-spheric supplements. Hope this helps someone out there

This should be a household item

I love this product. I feel a difference in my overall energy levels since I have started taking it. Felt I was coming down with a cold early this week. Woke up with a slight sore throat. I ran out of the last box I ordered and I was out for a few weeks. Luckily my new order came a couple days before I started to feel sick. Have taken 4 or 5 packets in the last 3 days and I feel great. First time I ordered this product I ate the vitamin C right out of the little package. I felt a slight Headache after the second or third day doing this. I found out that sometimes it's necessary to squeeze the contents of the package out into a cup in order to air it out for about 20 minutes. This allows excess alcohol to evaporate. Most likely the reason I was getting headaches. Now that I'm used to the product I am able to go back to taking it right out the package. I have seen reviews of people complaining about the taste. Sometimes I mix the vitamin C into my smoothies. This solves the taste problem as well as the problem of the gel sticking to the bottom of your glass or cup. Hope this helps
