Guest guest Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Make Your Own Liposomal Encapsulated Vitamin C Brooks Bradley Tuesday, August 11, 2009 12:20 PM To: CS>Liposomal Encapsulation Technology: Vit “C†In our recent researches evaluating this technology and, consequently, in searching for possible “process†improvements/modifications which might facilitate the “lay person†an opportunity for a DIY methodology achievable in a home environment†" we did achieve some notable progress. First, a brief summary of our exploratory activity. Our literature searches revealed several companies actively exhibiting valid capability in this area (LET). Typical, and demonstrably capable, is a company named MICROTEK. Microteklabs.com Helpful information is available here. One fact became obvious, early on, to wit: The truly striking feature of LET was a NATURALLY-occurring characteristic…… and not a man-made process, that was driving this encapsulation process. That is, this process is a function of an automatic, “natural tendency†of certain substances (e.g. phospholipids in this case) to form tiny vacoules or bubbles†" called liposomes†" -when in a aqueous solution under certain conditions. †The keystone activity is that these liposomes automatically fill themselves with whatever aqueous solution they were in†" -before they were formed. “This type of bubble, called a membrane, forms a protective barrier around virtually every cell in the human body.†Livon Labs has perfected a process which employs a high-pressure (1700 p.s.i.) discharge system which directs a liquid stream against a forming plate. The high impact forces the phospholipids (soy lecithin in this case) to form liposomes†" -so small they require an electrom microscope for viewing. This technology does not create the LET activity….it just enhances it. In our personal researches we have determined the key to exploiting the LET phenomenon appeared to be Livon’s application of intense force in their mixing methodology. Enter the “enlightening†moment. Searching for a method of achieving liposomal encapsulation, it occurred to us to explore ultrasonic stimulation as an option. It worked…maybe not quite as well as Livon’s “high tech†brute force approach…but about 70% as well. Plenty efficient for our purposes. Our vitamin “C†liposomal encapsulation protocol is as follows: Using a small (2 cup) Ultrasonic cleaner, (Item #03305, obtainable from Harbor Freight @ about $30.00), we performed the following: 1. Dissolved 3 level tablespoons of soy lecithin in 1 cup of water (preferably distilled). 2. Dissolved 1 level tablespoon of ascorbic acid powder (Vit. “Câ€) in 1/2 cup of water. 3. Poured both solutions together in the ultrasonic cleaner bowl and turned the unit on. Using a plastic straw (leaving the top of the cleaner opened), gently, slowly, stirred the contents. Note: The cleaner will, automatically, self-stop about every 2 minutes. Just push ON button to continue. Repeat for a total of 3 series (6 minutes). By that time the entire solution should be blended into a cloudy, homogeneous, milk-like mixture. The LET solution is now formed. 4. This protocol furnishes about 12 grams (12000mg.) of vitamin C product. At 70% encapsulation efficiency, 8400 mg would be of the LET type. This solution will keep, acceptably, at room temperature for 3 to 4 days. Refrigerated, it will keep much longer. We use it so fast around our place…there isn’t enough left to be concerned over storage. The “homogenizing effect†is so powerful that after 3 days at room temperature, no precipitation or solution separation appears evident. This type of sequestered vitamin “C†has demonstrated to be, at least 5 times more effective (per volumetric measure) than any other form of orally-ingested vitamin “câ€â€¦.that we have tested. Additionally, it appears to be even more rapid in tissue-bed availability†" -than IV applications. An astounding revelation….to us. We estimate the DIY researcher can produce the active LET portion of this solution for 15 cents per gram….as against about $1.00 per gram from commerci! al sources. It is my hope that this, limited, explanation of our activities in this area, is of some value to our do-it-yourself health-maintenance researchers. In any event, this protocol has demonstrated to be n on-toxic and most helpful to OUR RESEARCHES. Sincerely, Brooks Bradley. p.s. A larger, more powerful, ultrasonic cleaner is now available at Harbor Freight. Item number 91593. 2+ liters, for about $60.00. Both units have performed quite well for us. Almost as well as our $500.00 lead zirconate titanate, research grade, unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 My wife is now on 4 grams daily of Livon Labs Liposomal C. I've been taking at least a gram or two a day myself because it helps so much with muscle injuries in a middle-aged guy who just won't give up the fight. I've bought the Harbor Freight ultrasonic cleaner, have the NOW brand granular lecithin on order and have VCF L-Ascorbic Acid ready to do this. Hope to make my first batch very soon. A friend close by has already done it successfully. When I make it I'll be taking the homemade stuff and leaving the Livon product for my wife. Depending on how successful I think my efforts are, after she runs out of the 8 boxes she has now, which should take about 2 months, we'll see about her going to the homemade stuff.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Hi Bob, like you I'm awaiting delivery of my ultrasonic cleaner but also have to wait delivery of both the ascorbic acid (have very little left) and the Lecithin but hope to make my first batch sometime soon. About all I'm unsure of at present is just what might be considered a starting dose of the solution. Anyone got any ideas? At present I'm mixing one teaspoon of ascorbic with half a teaspoon of baking soda plus some water.

Laura- who is active here and is my friend who has already done it- Told me how she figures it but I've already forgotten, so I hope she'll jump in her about it. The dose of the store bought product, Livon, is 1 gram per packet. I have taken 1-2 per day with no ill effects at all and my wife has been taking 3-4 with no ill effects at all. No bowel tolerance problems with this stuff. As for the way you are using AA & baking soda together, you are making your own sodium ascorbate, which is a superior thing to do than to take straight ascorbic acid with all it's problems. Brooks Bradley gave out a way to use that method to both convert the un-encapsulated AA in the homemade process to sodium ascorbate and at the same time use that process to guesstimate the percentage of you product that actually was converted to Liposomal form. So- without further ado, here are all of Brooks' original posts on the subject, in my next post...Entitled " Brooks Bradley's Homemade Liposomal C Method " .

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Hi Roger, Assuming 75% efficiency of your completed home made liposomal C I would look for 1 oz. of liposomal to be equivalent to 7 grams of vitamin C. The cool thing about the liposomal is it should allow you raise or even miss bowel tolerance so if you're looking to do 30 grams or more daily their should be no diarrhea. And if the science is right you should get the same efficacy with a far lower dose.... Can't imagine why anyone would take more than 6 or 8 oz. max of liposomal daily. Course, as with all things we work up slowly to test...... I found it was easy to get less than 1/8 inch of bubbles using Brooks test if you mixed the lecithin with distilled water in a sealable quart jar. That way you can shake or agitate the solution until all granules are dissolved. Only takes 3 minutes or so instead of 15 minutes of stirring. (I guess Brooks will jump in if shaking the solution to mix hurts anything. :-) Good Luck & Good Health, Del - <ransley <oleander soup > Monday, August 24, 2009 10:23 AM Re: Make your own liposomal vit C > Roger B wrote: I'm awaiting delivery of my ultrasonic cleaner...
