for making your own Liposomal Vitamin C The healing power of Liposomal Vitamin C Vitamin C is one of the most widely recognized and used antioxidants in the world. This essential nutrient plays a critical role in helping the immune system, joints and arteries heal and function properly. Liposomal vitamin C is a technological breakthrough in nutrient assimilation and offers
incredible health benefits. How does vitamin C reduce inflammation and boost immunity? Vitamin C plays an important role in the health and function of the immune cells. White blood cells depend upon vitamin C in order to survive and withstand the attack of pathogens and free radicals. Vitamin C also plays an important role as an antihistamine and reduces inflammatory conditions associated with colds, fevers, allergies and the flu. Environmental toxins damage cells and intracellular
organelles leading to altered cellular metabolism and genetic mutations. Vitamin C has powerful antioxidant properties that protect against the oxidative stress against the cell. High doses of vitamin C are even more important when large cancerous growths already exist within the body. Oral vitamin C does not directly attack cancer but it helps to keep the immune system strong and empowers it to destroy the cancer. Reduce heart disease with vitamin C Vitamin C helps to protect the arterial walls throughout the body. The blood vessels that are most important and under the most stress are the coronary arteries that feed the heart muscle. Vitamin C helps reduce infections and other forms of oxidative stress that affect these blood vessels. It also prevents the oxidation of cholesterol in the bloodstream. What is the best ‘delivery system’ for vitamin C? Much of our biological chemistry is based around water and fat solubility. Just as water and oil do not mix there are challenges involved with bringing a water soluble nutrient into a fat soluble matrix such as the cell membranes. This incompatibility leads to lower rates of nutrient
uptake and utilization within the cell. Liposomal vitamin C improves absorption rate Liposomes are tiny “nano-size” fat soluble vehicles for carrying nutrients to the body’s cells. Dr Alec Banham, a hematologist at the Babraham Institute in Cambridge, UK discovered the liposomal technology. “Lipo” is Greek for fat while “soma” means body. These are a double layer of fatty materials which is similar to the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membranes in the body. Liposomal vitamin C is packaged like a bodily cell so it passes
through the digestive barrier and delivers the nutrient directly to the bloodstream. This has a much higher absorption rate with over 90% of the cells being bathed in vitamin C. Some experts suggest that liposomal vitamin C is vastly superior to IV vitamin C – an expensive but effective procedure that is done quite often in hospitals and alternative health clinics. A word of caution about the ‘right’ liposomes Liposomal size plays an important role in its ability to hold the greatest volume of vitamin C. The correct size should be between 100 to 400 nanometers in size. They should be quality tested at a FDA regulated facility to ensure safety and quality. Case study proves the healing power of liposomal vitamin C New Zealand dairy farmer Alan Smith had a miraculous recovery from a coma induced by leukemia and severe double lung pneumonia. Doctors were ready to pull the plug on him when the family begged them to try high dose IV vitamin C. Alan
began showing positive results after the doctors administered 50-100 grams of IV vitamin C. IV vitamin C versus liposomal vitamin C Some experts in the field of vitamin C such as, Thomas Levy, MD, JD, are saying that 6 grams of liposomal vitamin C is equivalent to 50 grams of intravenous vitamin C. Intravenous vitamin C elevates blood levels of vitamin C significantly higher, however, without the liposomal membrane this water soluble vitamin C is unable to efficiently penetrate the cell membrane. Here are ‘typical’ liposomal vitamin C protocols For an individual with no major symptoms or diagnosis that
wants good general health: 1-2 grams is optimal. Simply take 1,000 mg, 1-2 x daily What can I substitute for sunflower lecithin?The 5 Best Substitutes for Lecithin. 1 – Sunflower Lecithin. It's extracted from sunflowers using the cold-pressed method. ... . 2 – Guar Gum. Guar gum is also a suitable replacement for lecithin as it's vegan, natural and beneficial for health. ... . 3 – Egg Yolk. ... . 4 – Xanthan Gum. ... . 5 – Mustard.. Can you buy lecithin at a grocery store?You can find their lecithin powder in the supplement aisle and the liquid variant in the meal replacement aisle. Lecithin is found in their vitamin aisle.
Is there a difference between sunflower lecithin and lecithin?Soy lecithin comes from soybeans while sunflower lecithin comes from sunflower. However, soy lecithin extraction is a chemical method, while sunflower lecithin extraction is a natural method. So, this is the key difference between soy lecithin and sunflower lecithin.
What does sunflower lecithin help with?Regular consumption of sunflower lecithin may boost brain function, aid breast health, promote healthy skin, improve digestive health, and lower cholesterol.
