An expert I consulted said that the encapsulating liposome should not effect the glucose meter, it should be able to read the C encapsulated or not.
I still trying to wrap my brain around this one????
Ok here’s an example:
I have here a steel 55 gallon drum full of a liquid can you tell me if the liquid is thick or thin and what color it is???
Of course you can’t!!
Same scene plays out when you try to read a glucose like substance that’s encapsulated in it a organic material. Why? Because it’s encapsulated! Ie. Within a vehicle of a different structure.
Back to basic’s! Cells eat what? The American Diet! FAT and Sugar.
Vitamin C resembles what? Sugar, Glucose and as such is transported into the cells in a very similar manner. What happens when the cells had their fill of sugar they reject IT and look for the next part of their meal, FAT! Liposome’s look very much like what? Lipids, Fat that is encapsulated, since fat don’t do so good in water (Remember Oil and Water analogy? They don‘t mix and separate!) Now let’s take some sugar like substance and put a jacket on it. Then present it to the cells and what happens? Yep they take it in thinking it’s FAT and surprise they get a hit of V-C.
Another basic related item is, Cells use Sugar for energy and Fat for structure. When a cell is sick or in a disarray it first tries to maintain it’s structure. It does so by intake of Fat and will reject sugar. We know V-C is a anti-oxidant as such when it gets in a ailing cell it goes to work rearranging the chemical structure within the cell or allows it to die and get replaced with a healthy off spring by not allowing it’s defect’s to be spread.
This is the purpose of Liposomal technology. However since the encapsulation process is not perfect there will be some residual V-C that maybe read but it will be no where near the levels if taken straight up!
So to say you can read a liposome molecule with a sugar meter still eludes me!
Is Lichen Sugar??? No! It’s a Fungus, but to the body it looks cholesterol because it’s very similar in structure to cholesterol! What is cholesterol? Fat encapsulated in a lipid jacket. Perhaps looking at what kind of cholesterol it rises would give a better idea if it’s in the blood stream an available to do it’s job!!
Think the liver will degrade or break it down? think again! Remember oral intake of cholesterol from food? Well those that are the similar as human cholesterol’s are just passed on through and lichen is one of them! Unless your taking Ezetimibe!
