LivOn Laboratories Lypo–Spheric Vitamin C – 6 Cartons (180 Packets) – 1,000 mg Vitamin C & 1,000 mg Essential Phospholipids Per Packet – Liposome Encapsulated for Improved Absorption – 100% Non–GMO

I’ve tried many different vitamin C supplements, but LivOn Lypo-Spheric is by far the best. You can really feel the difference in energy, immune strength, and skin within the first week. The absorption is amazing — no stomach discomfort like with other forms, and I feel stronger and less tired overall.I take it on an empty stomach with a little water, and it goes straight to work. The taste isn’t great, but it’s quick and absolutely worth it for the results. My skin looks brighter, and I’ve gone through weather changes without getting sick.I’m just finishing my first box and already placing an order for the next one. LivOn is and will continue to be part of my daily routine. Highly recommend it if you want real, fast results!Es de los mejores suplementos que he tomado en mucho tiempo, aunque el sabor no es agradable no me importa porque puedo dar testimonio del cambio que dio mío piel, notado por mí y por los de mi alrededor. Me encanta, ahora voy a pedir mi segunda caja y ya para mí es y será parte de mi 😍🙌🏻 voy hasta a revisar que otros productos tiene la marca porque me siento muy feliz con el resultado de esta vitamina C.

***UPDATE: 1-30-13Well, I'm still going strong. It's been a little over a week and I must say, I'm still very pleased with the results delivered from this product. In fact, my work load coincidentally increased over the past few days AND I have been subjected to two different, very sick children (goop hanging out of noses, coughing all over me) and I DID NOT pick up any of their illnesses. Plus: I still have increased energy everyday. Amazing. I had a few time constraints in the mornings too and have had to take this product on the road. I just love the accessibility of it. I can't imagine not taking this Vitamin C ever again. I have increased my rating to Five Stars. Earned and well-deserved.Note: I would love to hear from those who have been ingesting this long-term as I have a few questions about use: should I be increasing the dosage over time and if yes, when should I start doing so and for how long? Should I be taking some form of Vitamin D with this to ensure optimum delivery/absorption? If I stop taking this, should it be a gradual process, like weening oneself off? I can't ever imagine wanting to stop taking this however I don't know if there are any side effects to being on this product long-term...and I read another post here about how someone got very sick after stopping their usage immediately. Due to my poor immune, I simply cannot afford to have that happen. So any other suggestions and comments are very welcome! Thank you all ~ stay healthy!!***UPDATE: 1-24-13Well, I didn't get better in a week using this product. I got better in THREE DAYS. That's just short of a miracle for my body. I'm back up to speed physically by 100%! I'm at full productivity without any signs of having a scratchy throat or low energy. I would have written sooner but I've been busy working! I'm still amazed. This product saved me. In case there is interest, on Day One, I only had a slight feeling that I could experience a loose bowel. But that never happened. That feeling has not been back. The consistency still makes me gag a little but following up with the juice shot completely gets rid of the short-lasting, bad-tasting moment for me. I also noticed I have quite a bit of energy on this stuff and I'm still only taking 1 packet a day. That is a comfortable amount for me and for now, I will stick with that dosage. I may write one more update should anything change but for now I will take this every day for good preventative care. I am forever grateful for this product.Original review:I have a weak/poor immune system that is getting worse as I get older (just turned 38). If I'm near someone with a common cold, 9 times out of 10 I'll catch it. Where it might put that person out for 1-2 days, I'm out of commission for 1-2 WEEKS with swollen glands, a lasting sore throat, itchy/runny eyes/nose, low energy, etc. It always hits my head, throat, glands. Anyhow, I've been to so many doctors over the past few years without much to show for it except numerous ENT visits, prescriptions for anti-biotics, and large medical bills. So, I've decided to try this out as I'll try anything at this point. I happen to be sick today and my symptoms are slowly getting worse. Therefore, I am on Day One for this Lypo-Spheric Vita C. My rating may be premature but for now, it is based on ease, taste, and cost. I will update my review once I have some results (or lack thereof).Ease: Using this packet is a cinch. I like that I can take it on the go if necessary. Just cut off one edge of the packet and insert into mouth and swallow or into liquid and drink.Taste: Well, it's not so much the taste than the texture I think that puts people off. I took it by itself (tilted head back, squeezed orange-looking gooey contents to back of throat) and chased it with some water. A little got onto my tongue and the taste reminded me of a grain/wheat-like taste (one person said it was card-boardy tasting. I can see that...). On the plus side: atleast it doesn't take like raw vitamins or have a bad aftertaste. In fact, there isn't really much of an aftertaste. The texture is mucous-like, and to me anyway, put me off a little (only slightly grossed me out). The water helped. Use the cold juice if you need to but I can see how that process is more work (like mixing oil and water; don't bother if you can muster taking the packet alone).Cost: Some may say this is costly, especially if you're using more than one packet a day. I only took one today, in the morning, on an empty stomach, to see what results I get that are measurable. I may increase it to two packets (1 morning, 1 evening) if needed. Ultimately, you should decide what's worth your money (and time): Preventative Health Measures or Emergency Visits/Missed Work?The Big Test: I work with children in private homes. Yes, they have their sick moments. Yes, this is cold/flu season. So in short, if these packets keep me healthy when I'm around an adult or child who looks sick, is sick, or is even thinking about becoming sick, I will be SOLD. FOREVER.I will report back when I have been using this product for atleast a week and can share my personal results.

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.)

This brand by far works better than some of the others I’ve tried (I.e airborne and other big names)It tastes a little weird at first to eat it as far as taste. I find it a lot easier to just open and eat it directly and just drink water or tea to get it down. I keep mine in the fridge and it taste wayyyy better cold lol.Once I got used to it it wasn’t too bad.I took this very consistently for 6-7 months and the minute I ran out and stopped taking for 3-4 weeks I got sick :/. I ran and ordered more asap hahahahA little spendy compared to other vitamin c’s (bought for $42) but I think it’s worth it considering the benefits
