This has been demonstrated to achieve similar blood serum levels of vitamin C as injections if taken in those high dose levels. It is further claimed that cells more readily absorb lypo-sphere encapsulated C in the blood than just the C in the blood alone providing a higher transfer of C into cells where it wanted verses injection.
My colleagues in cancer researchs have generally concluded that the daily
IV dose of Vitamin C dose that is necessary for efficacy against cancer is
100 g per day--i.e.,
100,000 mg per day. This is about 10 times higher than the gut can tolerate for Vitamin C or its ascorbate salts--except perhaps for liposomal Vitamin C, of course. Liposomal C is truly unique.
One of my concerns, however, is that the gut might not tolerate
100 capsules per day of even the
liposomal Vitamin C (which capsules typically contain only 1000 mg of Vitamin C). On the other hand, the liposomal C dose might not need to be as high as that of IV Vitamin C. As far as I can tell, we just don't know.
(One of the problems with pointing out [correctly] that the liposomal C is more readily taken into cells is that this might not impress the greedy cancer cells. On the flip side, I'm not even completely sure [until I see more data] that cancer cells even
like liposomal C. And if the cancers cells are, let's say, somewhat underwhelmed by the liposomal form, the other healthy cells of the body might tend to suck the blood levels of C down below the efficacious blood levels for the cancer-killing action of the C. The whole scenario is a bunch of questions that I can't answer.)
Anyway, good luck to anyone who wants to try either mode (or both modes) of Vitamin C therapy. Your daily dose for either route of administration would be roughly the same, I believe--about $100 per day for 100 capsules per day of liposomal C or about $150 to $200 per day for the IV treatment of 100 grams of regular C per day. (Unfortunately, neither treatment is covered by mainstream insurance as of the last time I checked.)
