I have made many, many batches of liposomal vitamin C for my family to treat whooping cough in the last month or so. I have tweaked the procedure and will share what I have learned so hopefully you can skip some of the learning curve.
I prefer to use sunflower lecithin granules but ran out of what I had and was not able to get more. I got sunflower powder. Bad idea. I couldn't get it to mix and there would be a thick sludge in the bottom of my jar, so I was skeptical about how well assimilated the vitamin C was. I bought Non GMO soy lecithin granules (Now brand) and they worked as well as the sunflower lecithin granules. For short term, I felt it was the best solution I could come up with.
Tools to Make Liposomal Vitamin C
- a blender
- jewelry cleaner
- Tablespoon
- Measuring cup
- Pan to warm the water
​Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups distilled water
- 3 T. lecithin granules
- 2 T. sodium ascorbate powder (I used nutribitoic)
Instructions:
Warm 1 cup distilled water. Water should be warm, but not too hot to touch. Put the 1 cup warm water and 3 Tablespoon lecithin granules in a blender. Mix on low for 30 seconds. Let rest. Repeat mixing it up and letting it rest for several minutes while preparing the vitamin C. Heat 1/2 cup distilled water in the pan, again until warm but not super hot. Remove from heat. Add 2 Tablespoons sodium ascorbate powder. Mix until it is melted.
Assuming the soy lecithin granules are completely incorporated, add the vitamin C water and blend gently.
Pour mixture into jewelry cleaner. Turn jewelry cleaner on. I use a straw to mix now and then. I would do 5 - 6 cycles as it had an auto shut off. This gave 12-15 minutes total time. Sometimes I would forget about it for a little while and then resume. I think that is okay.
Pour into a quart jar. Put a lid on it. Store in the refrigerator for several weeks. (I would go through a jar every day or less, though! )
One tablespoon of this liposomal C contains about 1 gram of vitamin C. Because liposomal vitamin C is more absorbable than powdered sodium ascorbate, it is equivalent to 5-8 grams of vitamin C powder.
----------
So my 19 year old son who had been taking upward of 30 grams of sodium ascorbate a day was talking 5-6 Tablespoons daily of liposomal C for the same or better benefit, and it seems to be easier on the gut.
I would dose three times daily, first thing in the morning, mid afternoon and before bed. Ideally on an empty stomach but I figured better to dose even if food were taken than not at all. I would give a juice chaser.
Hope that will help others with liposomal c making!

Dear Baldev,
Because many waters contain chemicals and some have high mineral content and I do not know how the sodium ascorbate might bind or react with those things, I suggest distilled. I wouldn't rule out that water other than distilled would give very good results though. If I didn't have distilled water I would make it with whatever I did have, filtered if possible.

All my drinking water including for making Lipo Vit-C & CoQ10, and Colloidal Silver, I use carbon faucet filter in gal jugs then Ozonate for 15-30 seconds.
Lately I find a pinch of Sea Salt into purified water prior to adding Vit-C is best.

Dear Nicole,
I don't know what could be used in place of the jewelry cleaner. I think the idea is that the sound wave vibrations are causing the vitamin C to bond with the lecithin. I do not know of another way this would be accomplished. I am not saying there isn't another way, I just don't know what it would be.
A jewelry cleaner is about $30. I have used mine to produce maybe 50 batches of liposomal C so far. It has been worth the investment for my situation.

Dear Mama to Many
Tony Pantellaresco has a you tube video. "Liposomes for All" This is the method I have been using. Although I have used and probably will continue using the jewelry cleaner method too.
