LivOn Laboratories Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C - Pack of 30,1000 mg

This vitamin C has become a part of my morning ritual. I usually take it with juice, and sometimes even with coffee, and it makes me feel energized and supported throughout the day. The flavor is not my favorite, but the results are worth it.

The best Vitamin C ever! It’s worth the money.

***UPDATE: 1-30-13 Well, 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: 1-24-13 Well, 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.

Ok here is my honest review. To me, it tastes like the malaria medicine I had to take before the trip I went on, positive thing is, if you follow instructions given by the company, and put it in liquid and then take it, its a million times better. Also, the taste doesn't linger in your mouth at all like malaria medicine so that part is GREAT. Super easy to use and travel with, especially for someone who doesn't swallow pills. Great quality product. I do notice a positive difference in post weight lifting recovery taking this. Very happy and would purchase again.

美味しくはない。でも心を無にすればなんとか飲める。飲んでいる間はわからなかったが、飲むのを止めると「何か顔色汚いかも…」と飲んでいた効果に気付く。

I am aware of all the benefits of taking a good vitamin C supplement, and have regularly taken a highly bioavailable vitamin C for years to combat various colds, flus and similar such viruses with great success. But I recently came down with shingles, and after 100,000mg of a high quality and highly bioavailable vitamin C powder supplement spread out over 3 days, I was somewhat disappointed that it didn't seem to be working. While my shingles seemed to not be worsening, the high dose vitamin C powder definitely wasn't reversing it. Plus I was getting the dreaded side effects of high dose vitamin C. Ain't nobody got time for that! Enter LivOn Labs liposomal vitamin C. On day four of my shingles, I started taking this liposomal vitamin C. Literally within an hour of taking 3,000mg, the areas where my rash was felt warm and tingly underneath the skin, but in a good way. I literally could feel the vitamin C doing its job; something I had never felt before. I continued to take between 15,000 to 25,000mg of this stuff per day (spread throughout the day). And by day 7 of my shingles (day 4 of liposomal vitamin C), the pain was totally gone, the rash and blisters were totally scabbed over, and in many instances the scabs had already fallen off. I continued on a high dose regimen for the next week, slowly tapering down to between 5,000 to 10,000mg per day. Literally within two weeks of having shingles, this liposomal vitamin C did what other extremely high quality vitamin C products couldn't do, completely eradicated the virus. Oh, and I should mention that my shingles presented on my forehead above my eyebrow, on my eyelid and throughout the top of my scalp. Not the most convenient of places to have ugly looking rashes. The rash on my eyelid honestly had me worried, and had it not been for this product, I'd have had to go to a specialist. It has been well over a month now, and the redness left behind by the rash is fading day by day - and I have zero pain or sensation left over as many people unfortunately do long after shingles. It's actually barely noticeable which is remarkable given the location. I can't recommend highly enough this particular liposomal vitamin C. I am not paid to write this, have zero affiliation with this company and have zero ulterior motive. I'm simply an average guy who experienced incredible results with this product. I'm a fan for life, and I will never take another vitamin C supplement that isn't made by LivOn. The last thing I will say is that if you've tried this particular product (not other "so-called" liposomal vitamin Cs) and have not gotten results, it's because you likely aren't taking a high enough dose. Yes, it is expensive, I totally get that. But I didn't go to a doctor, and instead spent about the same amount of money on this product. However, I had markedly better results than going the doctor route I firmly believe. It took about 150,000mg of this particular product spread out over a week, give or take, to eradicate the shingles virus from my body. That's in addition to the 100,000mg of powder vitamin C I took in 3 days before discovering this product. So a total of 250,000mg of vitamin C! That's a ton! I've continued to take 2,000 to 4,000mg of liposomal vitamin C per day just as maintenance, and I feel great. Best of luck to you..

Love these! I mix into a quarter glass of organic apple or pineapple juice and it's become part of my morning breakfast ritual. It's rather thick but liposomal Vit C is the way to go, especially if you're looking to enhance your collagen absorption. I tried CORE, but it was way too sweet, so I returned to LivOn.
