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.
