Zn + the above versus Na + VitC ?
The company makes other nano "formulas" too.
For ME...one packet added to my morning OJ = one quick bathroom trip in about 1/2 hour. So if traveling and taking it...you might need to watch the time you take it.
BTW...it is available on Amazon too (with shipping a little more costly).

I learned how to make Liposomal Vit. C cheaply by watching some YouTube videos. Over the past few months, I've increased my dosage from 2g/day to 12g/day. It's one of the few supplements I've tried that has given me sustained improvement over an extended period of time.

Ive heard good things about this Marnie.
No question Vitamin C is one of the few supplements that gives me energy.

A doctor of mine put me on this about a year ago. He reads the chronic fatigue boards and people found that this helped them.
Personally I haven't felt a huge difference in the fatigue area.
Is there any other "lyme benefit" to taking this?

Perhaps what the "C" is attached to (***phospholipids***)...pro/con?
Personally, *MitoQ* (which I am experimenting with in addition to PQQ - one each with dinner) maybe a better choice.
PQQ triggers mitochondrial biogenesis (the making of more mitochondria), but MitoQ helps the mitochondria to FUNCTION.
Phospholipid differences:
MitoQ is oxidized quinone (part of CoQ10)
***attached to a phospholipid***
that FUNCTIONS like,
but IS NOT...
phosphatidylcholine (one of Bb's proteins).
The first day, I took the Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C, no major problem.
The next few days I noticed a HUGE increase in inflammation...ouch...entire body.
Did that form of vitamin C knock off any viral particles my body was hanging onto and signal (via cytokines) the macrophages to do their job - dispose of them?
So I grabbed Glycox, 500mg (one) to lower the inflammatory cytokines.
While SOME inflammation is healing and is necessary,
too much
is bad and destructive.
Yes, the Glycox helped. Equivalent to taking 2 Advil for ME.
OTC timed release Vitamin C (which is the only form - normally - that my stomach can handle) does not trigger inflammation like Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C did for ME.

Marnie, are you still taking Mitoq? Did you ever increase your dose?
