Though there are absolutely no side effects in ordinarily healthy individuals for any dose of Liposomal Vitamin C because of its unique mechanism of delivery, there are a few safety precautions that a person ought to keep in mind to ensure the supplement is being used in the safest and most responsible way possible. To the best of our knowledge, these are not discussed openly due to the commercial surge of popularity of this method of administration. Although it would be rare to experience symptoms if taking standard application rates of less than 10mL twice daily for periods of one month or less, it is feasibly possible to develop long standing problems with daily use at or above those application rates if the following are not taken into consideration:

1. Those with iron overload should understand that vitamin C increases the absorption of iron into the body, especially in the heart where it can cause problems. Ferritin levels should ideally be no more than 150 (in adult women) and 250 – 300 (for adult men). If you are above those levels, donating blood would be a great idea. Also, waiting 2-3 hours after taking the liposomal vitamin C before eating red meat or anything else that is high in HEME iron is STRONGLY suggested if iron levels are higher than the aforementioned numbers.
2. Phospholipids derived from Sunflower Lecithin are very rich in Omega 6 fatty acids, while not so rich in Omega 3 fatty acids. Those who do not eat diets rich in Omega 3 fatty acids may wish to supplement with Hemp Seed Oil, Fish Oil, Cod Liver Oil, or incorporate foods rich in Omega 3 fatty acids as an excess of Omega 6 fatty acids in relation to Omega 3 fatty acids are considered by some specialists to be a contributing cause to cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis, heart attack, and stroke.

1. One of the contraindications for vitamin C usage, regardless of its form or method of application, is a glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. This is an inherited condition where the individual doesn’t have the G6PD enzyme. G6PD helps the body to function normally and very high doses of vitamin C infusions or very high doses of liposomal vitamin C pose a possibility of causing hemolytic anemia. A G6PD deficiency is an extremely rare situation, but should be tested before taking a high dose of IV vitamin C or Liposomal Vitamin C if any symptoms of G6PD deficiency are present.
2. Other contraindications would include allergens to the liposomal compounds, such as sunflower lecithin, and/or allergies either to Sugar Cane, Molasses, Treacle, or to Ethanol as this product contains Cane Ethanol. Individuals who are pregnant, young children, and/or taking blood thinning medications [whether over the counter or prescription medications] should use smaller dosages based on body weight and physician recommendations. The usage information above is based on a full grown adult of between 115 lbs to 215lbs. Those who exceed that weight may consider increasing their application rate or dosage per application, though exceeding 30mL 3 times a day is usually not necessary regardless of the weight of an individual with the exception those addressing various cancers. I am obligated to inform you that you must discuss vitamin C therapy with a trusted medical provider before beginning a Vitamin C protocol.
