Liposomal Vitamin C Dr. Lynch product Q&AUpdated 4 hours ago
| Question | Answer |
| I purchased this at my practice’s store and read on the bottle it says to shake lightly. My first two doses have had little orange “chunks” in them. It’s almost as if something in the ingredients separated. Do I need to shake the bottle more, or is this how the product is supposed to look? | Hi John - That doesn't sound right. It does seem that separation has occurred which isn't supposed to happen. Please take a photo of the Lot number information on the bottom of the bottle then talk with my team directly to send you out a new bottle. Please inform my team where you bought it so they can reach out. Perhaps storage conditions weren't ideal. In health, |
| Hello. I have read that Liposomal Vitamin C is best taken encapsulated? | Hi Cynthia - There are different opinions out there. I can see reasons for this. The key is to use fresh liposomes so once the package is opened, you want to use all of it within 40 days and keep it in the refrigerator. In health, |
| Can Liposomal C be taken with hot water in hot tea? Thank you, Judy Roach | Hi Judy - Vitamin C is not stable when exposed to heat. Heat can both degrade the vitamin C and the liposomal structure. For this reason, don't add it to hot tea. Instead, put it in your mouth directly, hold for 30 seconds, and then swallow. Regards, Elizma Lambert (ElizmaLambert.com) |
| Is the nutritional value of the Liposomal Vitamin C negatively impacted by consuming it in a hot beverage such as tea? Thank you. | Hi Judy - Yes. Vitamins are destroyed by heat and so are fats and proteins. Minerals are ok with heat. Vitamin C is indeed a vitamin so heat will destroy it. In health, |
| I love this supplement and was looking for one that's also safe for my young kids. 1 and 2.5 years old. Do you have a suggestion for what vit c they can have? | Hi Maria - Yep. They can use this as well. Just give them less. Say about 1/2 the serving is perfect for them. In health, |
| Does this liquid contain and sunflower oil? | Hi Sharon - It contains sunflower lecithin which is a phospholipid derived from sunflowers. In health, |
| What product/s would you recommend for someone who is struggling with interstitial cystitis affecting more of the urethra and having vulvodynia issues? I believe mast cell issues can play a role in ic? | Hi Kristin - Well done. You're absolutely correct about mast cells and cystitis. I do not recommend vitamin C in this amount as oxalates may worsen cystitis and vulvodynia. Consider:
Look into the Histamine Bundle as it contains three of these along with the Histamine Workbook which may help you pinpoint underlying causes of the high histamine.* You should notice improvement within 24 hours of starting. If not getting improvement, talk with your doctor about getting a urinalysis done. In health, |
| The production date is indicated on the packaging, but the expiration date is not indicated, what is the expiration date of the product | Hi Aigerim - If a production date is shown but an expiration date is not, it's because it's currently undergoing stability testing. If we do not have a confirmed tested stability test, we cannot put an expiration date. No supplement company is supposed to. Yet many do anyway. Typically, expiration is 2 years from date of manufacture. Once we have stability tests back on a product, we will update the bottle with an expiration date. In health, |
| Why would you make a product that is made from ascorbic acid and not the real fruit? All research shows using ascorbic acid is bad practice. Also, not sure how I will receive a response to my question ...thanks! | Hi Mary - That's incorrect actually. Read my prior response to someone else's comment below about ascorbic acid. Thank you Dr. Lynch |
| Why do all of your supplements contain the synthetic form of vitamin C, ascorbyl palmitate? I have MTHFR and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, so I must avoid anything synthetic. | Hi Jade - The performance of vitamin C is extremely similar regardless if it's synthetic or from fruit. Having MTHFR or not does not have an effect here. I have MTHFR as well - a very significant one. NASH is not negatively affected by ascorbic acid. It's worsened by high insulin levels, infections and inflammation. In health, |
| I’ve ordered this many times before, but then stopped as I started doing research on types of Vitamin C. Could you elaborate on that? Aren’t there more pure forms of vitamin C? | Hi Julie - The purest form of vitamin C comes from our food - fruit. All vitamin C is ascorbic acid regardless if it's from nature or a lab - it's the same. It's very different when it comes to an ingredient like Folate. You can have folic acid, folinic acid and methylfolate. B12 is another one. Cyanocobalamin, hydroxocobalamin, adenosylcobalamin and methylcobalamin. Vitamin C = ascorbic acid. I've looked into switching into acerola cherry sourced ascorbic acid. I didn't switch because it's still just ascorbic acid, it's more unstable, it's very expensive and you don't get nearly as much ascorbic acid. At 200 mg of ascorbic acid, absorption levels are the same regardless if acerola ascorbic acid or regular ascorbic acid. Most acerola vitamin C products use way less than 200 mg of ascorbic acid because it is cost prohibitive to do more. Thus, there is no benefit to switch. There is just one comparative study that everyone references from Japan: From another paper: However, as ascorbic acid is highly unstable, its loss incurred in value added products during processing should also be considered. Our group showed a ~ 18–29% retention of ascorbic acid in various ketchup formulations developed from acerola and tomato (Prakash et al. 2016). In another study, Moreira et al. (2009) reported a 6–15% loss of ascorbic during spray drying of acerola pomace extract. I need to have better data and better outcomes to substantiate switching - and I have not seen or experienced this yet. People who take our vitamin C products experience benefits and that to me is what matters. Thank you for your question. It's an important one to always consider. In health, |
| Hi, i didnt find what is the source of the ascorbic acid. i would like to know if it is from gmo corn? thank you. | Hi Proctron - I've been waiting to confirm from our manufacturer. They have been instructed to use non-GMO corn and I am confirming that's the case. We have paperwork that says non GMO finished product but I am confirming that the starting material itself is non-GMO as I requested. In health, |
| Hi, I need to know please what exactly the natural flavors are sourced from and also what they oleic acid is sourced from? I cannot have ANY citrus or Fruit including coconuts and olives. Is there anything sourced from fruit in this product? Also, why do you use Potassium sorbate? It is has been found to be toxic from many trusted clinical studies. I know it is to preserve the supplements for longer periods but why don’t you use a more safe preservative? Thanks you! | Michelle - Our natural flavors are derived from fruit, yes. We use potassium sorbate because mold is far more harmful than potassium sorbate. Potassium sorbate is the best performing preservative in existence for mold in supplements. I've looked - hard. It's better for us to not have any mold in our supplements which is why we use it. Rosemary extract and vitamin E are not good enough. Ingesting mold is not good. In health, |
| Is this a liquid or tables? | Hi Lourdes - Liposomal vitamin C is a liquid. In health, |
