Educate me on Vitamin C and various ways of administrating

AdminisTERing

I've just learned about "liposomal" vitamin C and how to make it at home 'on the cheap', then I saw this video:

which introduces this new thing I haven't heard of "RHAA" involving zucchini and he also mentions "oxidized" vitamin C THEN I read somewhere about vitamin C enemas!

I'm still researching but I was about to get going on the DIY liposomal thing but I want to make sure I go the best route. I guess I'm looking for the highest absorbing/most effective method. I'm hearing a lot it tastes bad. Maybe the enema method would be a good alternative, and maybe less prep(?). Who's done the RHAA thing? Haven't found any info on that but a couple vids from the same guy above.

What info/opinions you guys/gals have?

There is a guy on the vitamincfoundation forum who is involved in DHAA DeHydroAscorbic Acid.

I do not think that it is a great idea for CFS sufferers because it requires reducing back to Ascorbic acid after ingestion. That needs glutathione which is already in short supply which is why I think it is a bad idea for CFS. It therefore pushes up the requirement for glutathione.

Most people just use ascorbic acid or ascorbates ie vitamin c salts such as magnesium ascorbate. Some make liposomal C.

I am not sure that you can measure the effect of liposomal c as easily as measuring blood ascorbic acid levels.

I did watch that youtube video quite some time back but dismissed it as having little value to me.

If you make liposomal c then make sure that you do it correctly. It does require ethanol to form liposomes. That is what the patent includes.

Thanks for your input. I saved that link already from somewhere. I'll keep reading...

It is the same guy as in the video.

Personally had great results with about 24 g/d ascorbic acid for the last 10 years. But only for another serious conditions (PAD), and not ME/CFS. Since there just been a thread on LongeCity forum asking for the best vitamin C product there, I posted all links and excerpts of studies, which measured vitamin C serum levels or a maker of lipid oxidation, by giving equal doses of ascorbic acid, liposomal or IV, there. Also to an LPI article summing up the available science of better bioavailable vitamin Cs. Therefore I'll just give you the link to that thread with the whole discussion there:

After having read that thread, fill free to ask any remaining question here.

Thanks so much. Yeah, didn't need to have the same discussions already had out there, just wanted referrals to them.
