Liposomal vitamins

[BOSSBIG]

Anyone ever try making liposomal formulas like vitamin C, glutathione etc? It's a pretty simple process you just need some lecithin and an ultrasonic cleaner. Yes you can just take more of the raw product to get the same absorption but apparently the liposomes can deliver the compound to cells in a way otherwise not possible and they are sustained release.

Also most supplement companies claim their product is "liposomal" when its just mixed with a phospholipid. It's in fact difficult to keep the compound stable in liposomes. With a DIY liposomal done correctly you don't have this problem. Might be interesting to try this with other goodies

Here's an example formula using curcumin:

- Combine 25 grams of lecithin, 20 grams of curcumin with 25 ml of glyerin (or ethanol for better dissolving) and mix with hand held blender
- Let ethanol evaporate if used
- Add 240 ml of distilled water to the lipid-active ingredient solution while continuously stirring. This begins the formation of liposomes.
- (Optional) Add 2.5 grams of beta-sitosterol to the mixture to enhance liposome stability
- (Optional) Homogenize the mixture for 5-10 minutes in a homogenizer
- Sonicate for 10-15 minutes to further decrease liposome size and achieve a homogeneous suspension
