12% of 5ml is .6ml. (if 100% ethanol is used to mix it) Only a small fraction of the total volume.
Vanilla extract (the original one is 35% alcohol) by comparison.
Much of it remains in the food prepared with it.
Most wines are 9-12% alcohol. So this vitamin C product would be similar to a teaspoonful of wine.
The lecithin and phospholipids(they are a family of similar compounds that make membranes) are the emulsifiers providing the membranes to encapsulate the Vit C.
This is vastly different from a "proprietary mix of herbs or whatever"..and I think you know that very well so you really don't need to "rib me".
