Making your own liposomal supplements:
http://www.qualityliposomalc.com/styled-3/index.html
water - 26.8%, vodka (40% alcohol) - 35.6%, vit.C - 16.9%, (sunflower?) lecithin (granules) - 20.7%
1. add water + alcohol + vit in an beaker and place in ultrasound machine; 35[oC] while applying ultrasound
The beaker should not touch the ultrasound machine.
2. add lecithin and blend in a blender. Temperature should not exceed 32[oC], except the first time when it can be 35[oC].
3. remove the bubbles by placing the mixture in the beaker, covering it with a piece of plastic and placing it in the ultra sound machine for about 30 min. Repeat the irradiation with ultrasound several times.
- if you do not have ultrasound machine do more blending with temperature < 35[oC].
- the mixture contains ~0.2mg/ml vit.C

"... for treating scurvy, cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, cancer, age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, gout, heavy metal toxicity, or diabetes in a subject with ascorbic acid or a salt thereof entrapped in a liposome are provided. In an embodiment, a high dose of the liposome composition is administered.
... for treating cancer, hepatic dysfunction, malignancies, AIDS, trauma, burns, sepsis, pulmonary disease, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, cystic fibrosis, heart attack and stroke, seizures, sickle cell anemia, bipolarism, chronic fatigue syndrome, autism, and related immunologic illnesses in a subject with GSH entrapped in a liposome are provided In an embodiment, a high dose of the liposome composition is administered.
... for treating or preventing oxidative stress or damage, diabetes, liver disease, inflammation, neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, cardiovascular disease, peripheral nerve injury, schizophrenia, obesity, cancer, and hypertension in a subject with ALA entrapped in a liposome is provided. In embodiments, a high dose of the liposome composition is administered."
