Just do sublingual (under the tounge) of vit. C and vit B.

People make this whole vit. C thing way to complicated with lethicin and ultrasonic cleaners. Good lord people!

The basic premise is that the digestive system destroys the vitamins before they can be absorbed.

Well, in leiu of being able to do IM (intra-muscular) injections of these vitamins, a transdermal or sublingual administration would be:

1. Easier
2. Faster to bloodstream
3. Cheaper

DMSO has been used by bodybuilders for years as a transdermal carrier. It might cause skin irritation for sensitive people, and some people report it makes their breath smell like garlic (no biggie for me, Orbit anyone?)

You can also just get sublingual vitamin B/C tablets at Wallgreens/CVS. OR you could buy the powder in bulk, mix some tang with it and hold it under your tounge.

This whole liposomal thing just seems very gimicky to me. It's not like any of these people have invented a new form of vitamin C. The only thing they are accomplishing is creating a carrier method that helps protect the vitamins until absorbtion.

You can also get enterically coated vitamins (they might set you back more). These have the advantage of not upsetting your stomach.

Personally, I take chewable pre-natal vitamins. They have more than the normal adult dose, so whatever gets destroyed in my gut is compensated for. And, because it's chewable it is easier to absorb. I suppose I could chew it up and hold it under my tounge too.

These are fairly cheap and can be found at most grocery/drugstores.

But hey, if everyone wants to get all Walter White in their kitchen with an ultrasonic cleaner and some soy lethicin -- have at it

There is a thread that is titled something like "I make my own liposomal vitamin c" you may find more information there. Would search and link you to it but I am on the mobile site and it doesn't have a search option. Good luck!

I've heard of doctors giving B12 shots, I'm surprised that wasn't mentioned in the article. That way, the person is under a doctor's care, and monitored properly.
It also ensures a proper balance of the vitamins. Too much of one particular type of vitamin can cause an imbalance in the body.

For children aged 11 and above and adults, the RDA is 2.4 mcg. The RDA for pregnant women and nursing mothers is 2.6 mcg and 2.8 mcg respectively.

I take B50 stress tabs. The 50 stands for 50 mgs of various b vitamins. That's way, way, way stronger than anything measured in mcgs.
I've never had any sort of overdosing problems.

Yeah, we'll start doing that, and once we get going we'll start making appointments to the dentist.
Ascorbic acid is bad for the enamel on your teeth.

Just as a heads-up, if you've had surgery or damage to your ileum, which is the part of the large intestine just after the small intestine, where it empties out, you'll not be able to absorb nearly as much B12 as needed.

I had a foot of this surgically excised for Crohn's disease and the idiot surgeon never told me this. About six years later I started getting very tired and had blood tests done; sure enough, it was exceedingly low. Without adequate B12, you'll get pernicious anemia (what they used to call it). I was on shots for a few months and take sublingually every day now.

Goes to show how lax most doctors are on things like that.
