I have a question about this. It is my understanding that liposomal encapsulation enables the encapsulated material to bypass processing by the digestive system and enter the blood stream directly. I can see how that might be great for some items like ascorbic acid (Vit C) that are in the pure form that cells can use immediately. But is it a good thing for any and all supplements? Don't we need a little discrimination here?

I guess at this point it could be said Brooks has created a monster. :) After my first several batches of Vit C which continued to separate I decided to try a different Vit C powder. I came to realize the C I bought at the health food store had buffers so I ordered a better C without any additives. While I waited for my C to arrive I decided to try making liposomal d-ribose. It turned out perfect!...nice creamy color with absolutely no separation. ah ha...I then felt sure when my vit C arrived it would turn out exactly as it was supposed to. My C came today, I made it and it turned out perfect! So far I have also made liposomal L-Lysine and liposomal Alpha Lipoic Acid which also turned out perfect! B-Complex and Marine Kelp is next on my list. For some reason I cannot take iodine so I am hoping liposomal kelp will work for me. Something else I did differently was to stop blending my lecithin for as long as I had before...maybe only 10 seconds now. I believe these small adjustments make a difference. I also process my mixtures for 8 min [4 cycles in the UC] instead of the 6. Did I mention turmeric? ha ha Best regards... Sandy in Texas Live and let live...
