Equipment

  • Ultrasonic cleaner

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups filtered or distilled warm water no tap water
  • 2 ½` tablespoon ascorbic acid
  • 4 tablespoon sunflower lecithin
  • 2 oz Everclear grain alcohol This is optional. It will provide more encapsulation. I skip it because of the kids.

Instructions

  • In a Nutri-Bullet or blender pour 1 ½ cups of warm filtered water.
  • Measure in ascorbic acid and lecithin.
  • Blend for about 2-4 minutes.
  • With a small strainer strain liquid to get some of the air bubbles out. You can strain it into a bowl or directly into the ultrasonic cleaner.
  • Set the timer on the ultrasonic cleaner for 15 minutes. During this time the lipids will encapsulate the vitamin C. Stir with a wooden spoon about every 2 minutes.
  • When the 15 minutes is up, pour the liquid into a glass container or mason jar and store it in the fridge for up to 10 days.
  • Take 1-2 oz to get about 1500 mg of vitamin C.
  • See recipe notes for the supplies I used to make this!

Notes

If you would like to purchase liposomal C in capsule form you can buy it here!
If you have an ultrasonic cleaner and have used it in the past to clean jewelry. Pour the liquid into a mason jar and let jiggle for 15 minutes in the jar to ensure it is clean.
I skip the alcohol because I have 4 kids, but it will help with the encapsulation to use it.
Here is a good stainless steel ultrasonic cleaner to make liposomal C.
 
You can buy the ascorbic acid here.
Here is the sunflower lecithin I use.
