Lisdexamfetamine is enzymatically cleaved by red blood cells into L-lysine and dextroamphetamine. prodrug that yields pure dextroamphetamine with no levoamphetamine component.

Vitamin C and acidifying agents reduce absorption by ionizing amphetamine in the gut; worth noting for timing relative to supplementation.
Vitamin C reduces absorption, separate timing. Pure dextroamphetamine, none of the levo garbage.
