Vitamin C

***UPDATE: 1-30-13 Well, I'm still going strong. It's been a little over a week and I must say, I'm still very pleased with the results delivered from this product. In fact, my work load coincidentally increased over the past few days AND I have been subjected to two different, very sick children (goop hanging out of noses, coughing all over me) and I DID NOT pick up any of their illnesses. Plus: I still have increased energy everyday. Amazing. I had a few time constraints in the mornings too and have had to take this product on the road. I just love the accessibility of it. I can't imagine not taking this Vitamin C ever again. I have increased my rating to Five Stars. Earned and well-deserved. Note: I would love to hear from those who have been ingesting this long-term as I have a few questions about use: should I be increasing the dosage over time and if yes, when should I start doing so and for how long? Should I be taking some form of Vitamin D with this to ensure optimum delivery/absorption? If I stop taking this, should it be a gradual process, like weening oneself off? I can't ever imagine wanting to stop taking this however I don't know if there are any side effects to being on this product long-term...and I read another post here about how someone got very sick after stopping their usage immediately. Due to my poor immune, I simply cannot afford to have that happen. So any other suggestions and comments are very welcome! Thank you all ~ stay healthy!! ***UPDATE: 1-24-13 Well, I didn't get better in a week using this product. I got better in THREE DAYS. That's just short of a miracle for my body. I'm back up to speed physically by 100%! I'm at full productivity without any signs of having a scratchy throat or low energy. I would have written sooner but I've been busy working! I'm still amazed. This product saved me. In case there is interest, on Day One, I only had a slight feeling that I could experience a loose bowel. But that never happened. That feeling has not been back. The consistency still makes me gag a little but following up with the juice shot completely gets rid of the short-lasting, bad-tasting moment for me. I also noticed I have quite a bit of energy on this stuff and I'm still only taking 1 packet a day. That is a comfortable amount for me and for now, I will stick with that dosage. I may write one more update should anything change but for now I will take this every day for good preventative care. I am forever grateful for this product. Original review: I have a weak/poor immune system that is getting worse as I get older (just turned 38). If I'm near someone with a common cold, 9 times out of 10 I'll catch it. Where it might put that person out for 1-2 days, I'm out of commission for 1-2 WEEKS with swollen glands, a lasting sore throat, itchy/runny eyes/nose, low energy, etc. It always hits my head, throat, glands. Anyhow, I've been to so many doctors over the past few years without much to show for it except numerous ENT visits, prescriptions for anti-biotics, and large medical bills. So, I've decided to try this out as I'll try anything at this point. I happen to be sick today and my symptoms are slowly getting worse. Therefore, I am on Day One for this Lypo-Spheric Vita C. My rating may be premature but for now, it is based on ease, taste, and cost. I will update my review once I have some results (or lack thereof). Ease: Using this packet is a cinch. I like that I can take it on the go if necessary. Just cut off one edge of the packet and insert into mouth and swallow or into liquid and drink. Taste: Well, it's not so much the taste than the texture I think that puts people off. I took it by itself (tilted head back, squeezed orange-looking gooey contents to back of throat) and chased it with some water. A little got onto my tongue and the taste reminded me of a grain/wheat-like taste (one person said it was card-boardy tasting. I can see that...). On the plus side: atleast it doesn't take like raw vitamins or have a bad aftertaste. In fact, there isn't really much of an aftertaste. The texture is mucous-like, and to me anyway, put me off a little (only slightly grossed me out). The water helped. Use the cold juice if you need to but I can see how that process is more work (like mixing oil and water; don't bother if you can muster taking the packet alone). Cost: Some may say this is costly, especially if you're using more than one packet a day. I only took one today, in the morning, on an empty stomach, to see what results I get that are measurable. I may increase it to two packets (1 morning, 1 evening) if needed. Ultimately, you should decide what's worth your money (and time): Preventative Health Measures or Emergency Visits/Missed Work? The Big Test: I work with children in private homes. Yes, they have their sick moments. Yes, this is cold/flu season. So in short, if these packets keep me healthy when I'm around an adult or child who looks sick, is sick, or is even thinking about becoming sick, I will be SOLD. FOREVER. I will report back when I have been using this product for atleast a week and can share my personal results.

I’ve tried many different vitamin C supplements, but LivOn Lypo-Spheric is by far the best. You can really feel the difference in energy, immune strength, and skin within the first week. The absorption is amazing — no stomach discomfort like with other forms, and I feel stronger and less tired overall. I take it on an empty stomach with a little water, and it goes straight to work. The taste isn’t great, but it’s quick and absolutely worth it for the results. My skin looks brighter, and I’ve gone through weather changes without getting sick. I’m just finishing my first box and already placing an order for the next one. LivOn is and will continue to be part of my daily routine. Highly recommend it if you want real, fast results! Es de los mejores suplementos que he tomado en mucho tiempo, aunque el sabor no es agradable no me importa porque puedo dar testimonio del cambio que dio mío piel, notado por mí y por los de mi alrededor. Me encanta, ahora voy a pedir mi segunda caja y ya para mí es y será parte de mi 😍🙌🏻 voy hasta a revisar que otros productos tiene la marca porque me siento muy feliz con el resultado de esta vitamina C.

ABSOLUTELY best VITAMIN C i have found on the market. 1) you will see a change in energy levels within a few days. 2) your skin will change as well for the better within 10-12 days ... 3) super easy to take given the single packets ... i just pour the contents in a small cup of water and shoot it like a shot. 4) since taking i haven't gotten sick 5) taste is not great but not horrible either .. i would say its more of a textural thing .. but again shoot it with water and you forget about the entire thing. 6) given the items listed above ... for me totally worth the money

I doubt many people are buying this for their pets, but for anyone who is considering it, here is my story. My 19-year-old toy poodle came down with pneumonia. I took her to a vet with an ICU on Friday asking if she could stay with them as an inpatient until Monday morning. As of 8 PM Friday night, the vet thought my dog had at best a 50-50 chance of surviving until Monday morning, even with ICU care. Finally I made the decision to let her come home and die surrounded by family, in her own bed. We also discussed renting an oxygen tent for the home or purchasing a portable oxygen provider for dogs, but the vet thought the dog would likely be dead before either of those arrived. Dogs make their own vitamin C internally and normally do not need any supplementation, but in acute, emergency cases, some claim it can help if given in massive doses. Having nothing to lose, as she had a high likelihood of dying anyway, I gave her 1 packet of this every 2 hours. By the 5th packet she reached "bowel tolerance"-- meaning, she had reached saturation, causing diarrhea to begin. (She is 3.2 kg, which is 7 lbs.) By that time she was clearly and obviously breathing easier. I then fell asleep and woke up 4 hours later (5 hours after she received the 5th packet). By that time, she had fallen back into labored breathing again. Again, I gave her 1 packet every two hours until she had diarrhea again, and again her breathing improved. The improvement was marked and very obvious. We repeated this for two days. By the end of the weekend, she was very obviously "out of the woods" and although she was still very, very sick, I could see she was going to survive. Twelve days later, she is now walking around the yard and enjoying the spring. The vet says it is a "miracle." The dog herself acts like nothing whatsoever has happened. To be clear, she was also receiving subcutaneous fluids once a day (which I administered to her at home) to keep her from getting dehydrated, and I also used a vaporizer ( Vicks Personal Steam Inhaler ) on her, which she hated at first but became able to tolerate whenever the vitamin C kicked in and her breathing passages opened up a bit. Every time the vitamin C wore off, she had a hard time tolerating the vaporizer even for brief periods. One lesson here is that you need to have it ON HAND for use in an emergency. In my case, if I had ordered it even with Prime and waited a day or two for it to arrive, it likely would have been too late. It expires 18 months after being manufactured, so keep that in mind as well. As for its effects on humans, you can search for "vitamin C New Zealand" (or H1N1 or swine flu) on You Tube and watch a "60 Minutes" TV show episode talking about the use of massive doses of vitamin C. These packets can be seen there in the video. Incidentally, a neighbor with chronic HCV (hepatitis C) knows my dog very well and basically watched this dog with one foot in the grave somehow come back to life. Amazed by this, she immediately purchased a box of this lypo C for herself. She has been combining these with regular vitamin C tablets because the lypoC itself is too expensive to rely on exclusively. 21 packets and 120 vitamin C tablets (60 grams) later (that is her self-reported total after 3 days, taking it to bowel tolerance), she says she suddenly has more energy than she has felt in years and was able to clean her house. Until this time, she was so sick that she was unable to get out of bed and had lost 30 lbs in a year from being unable to eat. She also says she no longer thinks the lypoC tastes funny, because now her body craves it. So that is a human endorsement I can add. [Edit to add: It is now 1 month later and this neighbor says that her hair used to fall out in clumps from her treatment, and that has now stopped.]

This vitamin C has become a part of my morning ritual. I usually take it with juice, and sometimes even with coffee, and it makes me feel energized and supported throughout the day. The flavor is not my favorite, but the results are worth it.

Good product .Received item in good condition,NO exploded.

I use this product for overall well being. Soft Packaging slightly damaged, but product undamaged. Very fast delivery for international shipping.

高いですが、本当によくききます。 肌の調子もよくなりますし、なにより元気になり活力がでてきます。 ここぞというときに2週間単位くらいて使用しています。

I just ordered this and multiple packages had already exploded in the box leaving behind some odd brown residue. Half the box needed to be thrown away. When I tried using one clean packet there were brown specs in the water. The seller was not willing to offer any concession or take their product back which is obviously of bad quality and unsafe for consumption. I highly recommend you find another seller if you want this.
