My Most Interesting Find Yet ~ Liposomal Encapsulation Technology!!
Vitamin C, Glutathione, and AGE Blocker

PLEASE NOTE: This page is still under construction. I'm dancing as fast as I can. Check back often for the latest outrage.

Readers of this site know that my approach is all experience-based, and that I sell here mostly only what I use myself and have found to work for me. I'm not a scientist or researcher, just an experimenter and student. Although I have been a practitioner since 1986, I am still the primary guinea pig for anything I find that may help all of us to have better health.

Let me express my heartfelt gratitude to the courageous researchers and developers of advances in nutritional science, who keep finding and presenting these new understandings to our attention.

I've now found a new form of two antioxidants, Vitamin C and Glutathione, that is light years beyond anything I've ever used before. I don't even remember what made me look into this topic, but my search brought me to LivOn Labs, which I am convinced is making the finest liposomal encapsulation products available.

I started with one packet each of the Lypo-Spheric™ Vitamin C and Lypo-Spheric™ GSH Glutathione. Currently I'm taking two of each, in the morning. I'm experiencing a steady return of my energy, reduction in pain,  improvement in my attitude (to the relief of myself and others...), better sleep pattern, ease of movement, improved balance, and even the beginnings of resolution of a whole raft of symptoms that have been coming on slowly for almost 2 years, including tremor and weakness in my left hand, arm and leg. I can use my lovely Cellerciser rebounder. I'm starting to wake up interested in life again, something which had faltered since November, 2007, when my beloved Willie went on permanent vacation. I am again able to study, work, and focus for longer periods without the deep exhaustion and sadness that have plagued me for 2 years. Again there are not enough hours in the day.

Since I only use and sell the highest quality products I can find, I have chosen to use and offer the Livon Labs Liposomal Encapsulation  products. To be able to supply these special items as fresh as possible, I have entered into a drop-ship agreement with Livon Labs. Your order for their products will often come directly from them. That way, your order is always sent promptly.

I also take PC made by BodyBio. I'm sold on phospholipids. At the bottom of the page is more of the science behind this.

Lypo-Spheric™ Vitamin C
Recent clinical trials by world-renowned Vitamin C expert and pharmacologist, Steve Hickey, PhD, show that Lypo-Spheric^TM Vitamin C is able to produce serum levels of Vitamin C nearly double those thought possible with any oral form of Vitamin C.*

For leading-edge doctors like Cardiologist Thomas E. Levy, MD, JD, the implications are staggering. In his book Curing the Incurable, he states that the three most vital factors required to get the most from Vitamin C are: "Dose, Dose, Dose!" According to Dr. Levy, to get the maximum benefit of this natural anti-microbial, anti-toxin, anti-oxidant we all need much more vitamin C than the 60 mg RDA.

That 60 mg is barely enough to prevent frank clinical scurvy in most people, but it is my opinion, after reading Dr. Levy's book mentioned above, as well as his book, Stop America's #1 Killer, and Irwin Stone's 1974 book, The Healing Factor, that most people are walking around in sub-clinical scurvy.

Two-time Nobel Prize winner, Linus Pauling, recommended doses as high as 15,000mg per day to obtain optimal serum levels of Vitamin C. Now, with Lypo-Spheric^TM Vitamin C, these blood levels can be obtained with much smaller doses and without the gastric distress and diarrhea associated with large amounts of traditional Vitamin C products.

Advantages of Lypo-Spheric™ Vitamin C:
• most powerful antioxidant outside the cell;
• supports immune system and visual acuity;
• helps maintain capillary integrity for less bruising;
• quickly navigates through the digestive system bypassing digestive processing;
• immediately ready for assimilation;
• rapidly absorbs in the small intestine and moves intact directly to the cells that need it;
• releases the powerful, non-degraded Vitamin C for use throughout the body as the liposomal material is assimilated by the phospholipid-craving cells;
• provides maximum assimilation and bio-availability because there are...
• NO binders, fillers, gelatins, capsule materials, dyes, sweeteners, or flavorings!!

We believe that humans used to manufacture all the Vitamin C they needed. The fact is, we all have the necessary gene to produce an enzyme called L-gulonolactone oxidase (GLO). GLO is the only missing component in the human liver required to make Vitamin C. Unfortunately, almost all of us have a defect in that gene that prevents the production of GLO and therefore prevents the synthesis of Vitamin C. We must take in sufficient Vitamin C in diet or supplement this essential nutrient.

Lypo-Spheric™ GSH (Glutathione)
Glutathione is made in each of our cells, but there's a catch. The catch is that in order for the cell to do this work, it needs certain building blocks called precursors. These must be taken in, in the diet or in supplements. Taking GSH by itself won't work as it is broken down in digestion and hasn't got a chance of arriving intact at the cell within which it is needed. Indeed, taking the precursors is iffy too, because there's no way to know if one or more of them will be called to fill some other need in the body, making it unavailable for the job of making Glutathione!

In addition, a lack of Glutathione places the cell under extreme stress, and this also can compromise production even if all the precursors are present in sufficient supply.

You can get injections of essential phospholipids and Glutathione, which delivers these all-important factors directly into the blood. Last time I had one it was $131, and contained 1000 mg of essential phospholipids and 500 mg of Glutathione, plus I had to drive 10 hours round trip to get it, and stay in a motel, bringing the total to over $200. Yow!! The IV was tiring and painful and the drive exhausting, but I pursued it for 13 treatments because it was so very helpful in terms of energy and endurance.

I have switched to Lypo-Spheric GSH because, although $79.95 seems like a lot for a month's supply of anything, to get approximately the same amount of two nutrients for $2.67 instead of $200 appeals to me somehow, and I can do it every day instead of once every two weeks. Liposomal Encapsulation (more about that further down the page) protects the Glutathione from breaking down in the digestive process and it is delivered to blood and cells similar to injection and maybe better.

Advantages of Lypo-Spheric™ GSH (Glutathione):
• most powerful antioxidant inside the cell;
• supports function of brain, heart, eyes, liver, kidneys, pancreas, etc.;
• neutralizes free radicals and repairs the damage they do;
• neutralizes and eliminates toxins and heavy metals;
• fuels and energizes the immune system;
• transports amino acids across cell membranes;
• repairs and helps synthesize DNA;
• provides maximum assimilation and bio-availability because there are...
• NO binders, fillers, gelatins, capsule materials, dyes, sweeteners, or flavorings!!

Lypo-Spheric™ AGE Blocker™

I'm offering the AGE Blocker, even though I haven't tried it, because I am so convinced of the high standards of LivOn Labs, based on my very positive experience with their Vitamin C and GSH formulas, described above.

You can see from the Supplement Facts that this is an impressive formula. It uses Liposomal Encapsulation Technology and essential phospholipids, to bypass the digestive tract and deliver the nutrients direct to the bloodstream and cells, intact.

Studies in recent years link many debilitating health conditions associated with aging and diabetes to a class of sticky, tar-like molecules created from the byproducts of sugar metabolism. This substance, known as A.G.E. (Advanced Glycation End-Products), forms irreversible cross-links which can have the following impacts on the body:
• make normally supple body structures stiff and brittle;
• deposit sticky, debilitating waste in cells and organs, compromising their function;
• contribute to plaque buildup in the arteries;
• clog neural pathways in the brain;
• cause inflammation and tissue damage in the joints;
• destroy capillaries in kidneys and eyes.
YIKES!!

A simple A.G.E. test: Pinch about 1/2" of skin on the top of your hand, pull it up, and quickly release it. Your skin should snap back and the "pinch" should quickly disappear. The longer it takes for the "pinch" to disappear, the more AGE damage is indicated.

What Does Lypo-Spheric™ AGE Blocker™ Do?
AGE Blockers work by stopping the glycation chain reaction started by glucose metabolism just prior to the formation of the AGE molecules.

Although stopping glycation reactions at the Advanced stage does not break up cross-links that have already fomed, it does limit the formation of AGEs throughout the body without interfering with normal body function.

Plus, liposomal encapsulation protects the nutrients in the product from the digestive system. They quickly navigate the GI tract, are absorbed by the small intestine and transported directly to the liver.

What is Liposomal Encapsulation Anyhow?
First, I guess we need to know what a liposome is!! Liposomal Encapsulation Technology (LET) makes use of a natural, little-known phenomenon that makes life, as we know it, possible. This phenomenon is the natural tendency of phospholipids to form tiny vacuoles, or bubbles, called liposomes, when in an aqueous solution under certain conditions. The liposomes are automatically filled with whatever aqueous solution they were in before they formed. This same type of bubble, called a membrane, forms a protective barrier around virtually every cell in your body.

In order to understand this a little better, we need to digress a bit and talk about the importance of phospholipids to cell membrane integrity. Phospholipids, primarily phosphatidyl choline, make up the bulk of the membrane covering the cell and the organelles inside it. The cell membrane is so thin that if you pile them up, 30,000 of them would make a pile the height of the period at the end of this sentence. You can mess around with the cell's contents, even go so far as to remove the DNA, and as long as the cell membrane is intact the cell will still function. But if the membrane breaks down, which it will do in the absence of sufficient phospholipids, the cell dies. The end. Gone.

When you see the term "essential", whether applied to amino acids or vitamins, this means something the body can not make but must be taken in, as either part of the diet or as a supplement. Phosphatidyl Choline is an essential phospholipid and without it, cells break down faster, which leads to more rapid aging. (I vote NO on that!!)

LET combines nano-technology and bio-technology in a very powerful way. Medical specialists have used this technology for many years to deliver tiny amounts of therapeutic substances to specific organs or tissues without being altered and without affecting any other parts of the body. Now LivOn Labs is utilizing this same technology to produce the two most important antioxidants in human nutrition in their most bioavailable form.

To make the Lypo-Spheric vitamin C, for example, Livon Labs adds a mixture of "essential phospholipids" - predominantly phosphatidylcholine - to pharmaceutical-quality ascorbic acid. Then this mixture is forced through a patented nozzle jet at over 1700 psi of pressure against a special forming plate. The high impact forces the phospholipids to form liposomes that are so small that they can only be viewed through an electron microscope!!

So What?
LET provides a vehicle for carrying the most bio-available form of a supplement, intact, into the cells where it is most needed, in addition to the essential phospholipids for membrane strength. That is the point.

Yes, these things cost more. I try to make them affordable by including the shipping.
