Yes. While the supplements may get into the bloodstream faster when taken on an empty stomach, they can be taken before, during, or after a meal. For those who are prone to low blood sugar levels, the Lypo-Spheric® B Complex Plus should be taken just before a light snack or meal. Hypoglycemic substances, like caffeine, should be avoided.
Yes. You even can take them all in a single shot.
Yes, but you may want a chaser.
For most people, the easiest way is to squeeze the contents of the packet into 1–3 ounces of water, swirl gently to make sure the liposomes are not sticking to the bottom or sides of the glass, and drink the whole mixture in one swallow.
If you don’t like the taste, substitute water with 1–3 ounces of a cool fruit or vegetable juice.
The contents of the packet will not dissolve.
Please make sure that you are pouring your cool beverage into your shot glass BEFORE adding the supplement. If you squeeze the supplement in first, it will stick to the glass.
We do not recommend it as our liposomal goo is sensitive to immersion in heat. For best results, we recommend squeezing the product into a cool beverage.
While there is no exact time these products have to be taken, we recommend taking them in the morning and/or early afternoon. Taking the products too late in the evening may cause a burst of energy which could interfere with your normal sleep schedule.
The recommended dosage of the Lypo-Spheric® product is one packet, taken 1 to 2 times per day. We recommend that you consult your healthcare practitioner before taking dosages higher than recommended.
Please note the Lypo-Spheric® products are not intended to prevent, cure or treat any specific health condition or disease. If you are experiencing a health problem and are looking for a healthcare practitioner that is experienced with integrative medicine, we recommend visiting the ACAM or the Riordan Clinic.
We do not recommend blending any of the Lypo-Spheric® products in a food processor or blender. While liposomes are impervious to digestive juices and protect their valuable contents from oxidative degradation, they can be damaged with heat and violent agitation.
The Lypo-Spheric® packet is made of foil that is laminated with two layers of food-grade polyethylene to provide a barrier between the layer of foil and the liquid product. This BPA-free barrier protects the product from potential leaching, and from oxygen and moisture.
Liposomes are sensitive to light and air. When a liposomal supplement is packaged in a large jar containing a month of doses, it is exposed to oxygen upon each opening, degrading the liposomes and making them less effective. Single-dose packets keep Lypo-Spheric® supplements fresh and in the best condition to maximize absorption.
Yes. The packets may expand as latent air from the filling process tends to expand over time. This does not affect the quality of the product.
We only use the ingredients necessary to ensure a safe, effective product. That means no sugar, artificial sweeteners, or artificial flavors.
A liposomal supplement is not doing its job of protecting a water-soluble nutrient if the supplement dissolves in water. A good liposomal supplement will be a gooey blob when placed into a liquid, easy to take as a shot and keeping the nutrients intact for absorption.
If the product floats in water, it’s due to the density. If that particular batch has a lower density than water, then it would float. If the density is higher, it will sink. The density of the Lypo-Spheric® Vitamin C is typically higher than water, but some batches may be less dense.
Liposomes require water to wrap around nutrients. The combination of water and the phospholipid liposomes creates a goo.
Natural preservatives are used in our products to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and mold. We use preservatives that are best suited for each formulation. We only use the minimum amount necessary to provide you with safe, effective products. Each packet contains just 0.684-0.72 mg of alcohol.
If you are extremely concerned about the alcohol content, tear open the packet and expose it to air for 30 minutes to evaporate most of the alcohol.
Like many beans and grains, raw soybeans contain a variety of phytochemicals. There is research on both sides of the soy debate showing that these phytochemicals provide a variety of health benefits, as well as potential health risks under certain conditions. The phytochemicals associated with potential health risks are often referred to as anti-nutrients, which can interfere with nutrient absorption.
At LivOn Labs, we use highly purified phospholipids derived from soy lecithin. Virtually all phytoestrogens, proteins, and other phytochemicals found in whole, unprocessed soy beans are removed during this extraction process. We must say “virtually all” because there is a possibility that minuscule amounts may remain in the phospholipid mixture.
This extraction process leaves us with a high percentage of phospholipids like Phosphatidylcholine (PC), Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and Phosphatidylinositol (PI) and other fatty acids. Since we do not use whole soy materials, we are not able to expand on the topic of phytoestrogens that are found in the whole soy foods or other soy products.
The benefits of phospholipids found in lecithin have been well documented since the early 1900’s, and they far outweigh any potential risk associated with the ingestion of minuscule amounts of anti-nutrients naturally found in soy lecithin.‡
Virtually all of the soy protein, which is of allergic concern for some individuals, is removed from the essential phospholipids during the extraction process. While we cannot guarantee our products do not contain detectable amounts of soy protein, we routinely conduct testing on each product with an independent laboratory. To date, the laboratory has not been able to detect any amounts of soy protein in our products.

We guarantee all LivOn Labs supplements are non-GMO. We use paperwork as one avenue of non-GMO verification, and we also routinely test, through independent labs, the finished products for DNA markers that would indicate the presence of GMO material.
Identity Preservation monitors each phase in an agricultural product’s lifecycle from seed to sale: planting, growing, harvesting, processing, shipping, storage, and packing. Identity Preserved crops are grown far from other varieties, including GMO crops. Equipment is cleaned prior to harvesting the Identity Preserved crops to avoid cross-contamination.
At LivOn Labs, we use only soy lecithin from Identity Preserved soybeans to extract the phospholipids that make up our liposomes.
LivOn Labs liposomes are made of phospholipids that are nearly identical to the phospholipids that make up every cell in your body. As phospholipids are needed for the repair of damaged cells, it is very likely the phospholipids will be quickly used by the body.
Lypo-Spheric® supplements contain high-potency nutrients that should not interfere with other common dietary supplements when taken by a generally healthy person. If you’re taking other dietary supplements under the direction of a physician, we recommend consulting your physician before adding Lypo-Spheric® supplements to your regimen.
While the Lypo-Spheric® products contain well-researched nutrients that are taken by millions of people around the world, it is possible they could interfere with certain medications and medical conditions. We recommend consulting a healthcare practitioner before using this product if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a medical condition, or are taking any medication.
The Lypo-Spheric® products are formulated for humans. Some customers have chosen to supplement their pet’s diet with Lypo-Spheric® Vitamin C and Glutathione, and have seen positive results. We recommend consulting with your veterinarian before starting any supplementation program for your pets.
We recommend consulting a healthcare practitioner before starting a supplementation program.
While Lypo-Spheric® supplements contain nutrients that are vital to a healthy mother and baby, we recommend consulting your healthcare practitioner before consuming any Lypo-Spheric® supplements while pregnant or breastfeeding.
The Lypo-Spheric® products are formulated for adults. Please consult your pediatrician before giving your child any Lypo-Spheric® product.
We use sodium ascorbate because it is a highly bioavailable form of Vitamin C that is well suited for liposomal encapsulation. Sodium ascorbate is much less acidic than plain ascorbic acid, which makes it easier on the digestive system. The pH of our product is 6.5, which is very close to neutral without being buffered. Sodium ascorbate is also the type of Vitamin C used in IVs.
We use a 1000 mg Vitamin C per packet because:
With increased absorption, you have less need for excretion. High doses of regular supplements can flood your digestive system with way more nutrients than you can absorb, leading to gastric distress. Because of the superior absorption, Lypo-Spheric® Vitamin C causes less gastric distress.
Store at room temperature. Do not freeze or place the product in direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
If you open a packet and do not consume all of it, place the packet in an airtight bag or plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 24 hours.
Yes, the B Complex Plus is a different consistency than some other Lypo-Spheric® products. It is runnier and does not maintain its blob shape as well as those other products.
Yes. Folic acid and folate in foods are not biologically active and must be converted to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) to benefit the body. Conversion is a multi-step process in which the enzyme methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is critical. Many people, due to genetics, have polymorphic forms of this enzyme and do not produce adequate or effective MTHFR necessary to make the biologically active form of folate that plays a key role in numerous bodily processes.
We use Quatrefolic® in the supplement because it provides the metabolic reduced folate form, (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, that is ready for use in the body without the need for conversion and the MTHFR enzyme.
Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble derivative of thiamine. That means that your body can store Benfotiamine while it cannot store its natural, water-soluble counterpart. Fat-solubility also enables Benfotiamine to penetrate more tissues and organs to confer its benefits than water-soluble thiamine. Independent research has proven that Benfotiamine can raise plasma levels of thiamine 5X higher than supplementing with natural thiamine. We use Benfotiamine in our product because it is more bioavailable, thus more potent.
We call this supplement Lypo-Spheric® B Complex Plus because, in addition to the B vitamins, it contains the minerals zinc, chromium, and selenium, which support the immune system, skin, metabolism, and more.
Store at room temperature. Do not freeze or place the product in direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
If you open a packet and do not consume all of it, place the packet in an airtight bag or plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 24 hours.
Yes, Lypo-Spheric® Glutathione has a bit of a cooked egg smell. That’s the sulfur. It’s part of what makes the nutrient so effective, but is also responsible for the unpleasant scent.
It is a unique tripeptide form of glutathione that, when taken as 1,000 mg/day, has been clinically shown to increase glutathione levels in blood by 30%, red blood cells by 35%, and buccal cells by 260%.
A recent study revealed that daily supplementation of Setria® Glutathione – the form of L-Glutathione used in Lypo-Spheric® Glutathione – is effective at increasing body stores of glutathione by 30–35% over six months. This is significant because oral glutathione supplements were previously shown as nearly impossible to absorb due to destruction in the digestive system.
Store in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration is recommended to improve taste. Do not freeze or place the product in direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
Racemic (R) alpha lipoic acid is the bioavailable form found in nature. Our supplement contains 100% R-Alpha Lipoic Acid.
Yes, Lypo-Spheric® R-Alpha Lipoic Acid is a different consistency than some other Lypo-Spheric® products. It is runnier and does not maintain its blob shape as well as those other products.
Store at room temperature. Do not freeze or place the product in direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
If you open a packet and do not consume all of it, place the packet in an airtight bag or plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 24 hours.
Acetyl L-carnitine is carnitine bound to an acetyl group. This binding is what makes it the only compound shown to raise carnitine levels in the brain. It is a powerful nutrient used to support optimal nervous system function, editing in messages being sent at ideal speed and integrity from the brain to the rest of the body.
If you open a packet and do not consume all of it, place the packet in an airtight bag or plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 24 hours.
Refrigeration is required to maintain potency. Do not freeze or place in direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
Each packet contains 77 mg of elemental magnesium and 1000 mg of Magnesium L-Threonate, which is a magnesium salt of L-threonatic acid. The L-Threonate glucosamine salt portion of the product makes up the majority of the Magnesium L-Threonate. The L-Threonate portion is the carrier that ensures the elemental magnesium will be absorbed and carried into the brain.
The dosage recommendations come from the Magtein® creator, based on a study that found tremendous cognitive improvement in older adults with cognitive decline by taking 1000 mg of Magnesium L-Threonate twice a day.
Store at room temperature. Do not freeze or place the product in direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
