Buffered Vitamin C can be created at home, dissolve regular ascorbic acid in water and later add to it 1/4 of the amount baking soda. The water will fizz and after 10 second you will have sodium ascorbate.

I don't know my brother, if most people know how to appreciate your accumulated knowledge and how you lay things out to the very detail that many health teachers don't even know. Felix thank you for your generous hard work. You are a big blessing.

I saw a study they did on Vit C . They had an orange, orange juice and a Vit C supplement. They measured the release of the Vit C over a 24 hour period. All forms put the levels up immediately but the levels of the juice and supplement then went straight down. The orange levels went up, plateaued for about 8 hours and then went down. The orange, with the fibre, released the Vit C at a constant rate over that time. Whole foods win every time

How about just eat an orange or squeeze a lemon into your water. Dont forget apple cider vinegar for added benefits. Capers and vinegar foods like pickles or sauerkraut help the pancreas. For thousands of years before refridgeration we preserved and ate fermented foods. Kefir, kimchi....

I appreciate that you find a use for all forms of vitamin C, and are not dogmatic about things.

Yes, very helpful video
I used to take ascorbic acid and liposomal but now I am taking whole food

[justinw]

I'm a big fan of kiwis, which have a pretty good amount of C. Also lots of potassium and other nutrients.

[karinschultz]

Great info as always. The one question I have about anything labeled "from whole food souces" is "What about pesticide residues, are these eliminated during the manufacturing process?" To me "from whole food souces" is a misnomer if "whole" includes pesticide /herbicide residues. I buy organic whenever I can as there is a taste difference. I suspect that there's also a difference in any vitamin derived ftom non-organic produce as well.

Something to be aware of is (if I’m not mistaken) glucose and vit c compete for absorption. So maybe take vit c on an empty stomach, while eating fats, proteins or on the lower carb spectrum.
PS- Sauerkraut is a very good source of food grade vit c as well.
Personally I take organic camu camu.

The real issue is, the synthetic C needs to be the L-ascorbic acid {natural} form, not the D-ascorbic acid {synthetic} form, which is cheap and what most companies use, usually a blend of D and L form. There are plenty of scientific studies showing the cells need to be replete in ascorbate, which will not happen with so called whole food vitamin C. Copper and ceruloplasmin are not depleted until very high doses of ascorbic acid are used, nobody mentions that, and if you have studies to prove otherwise, share them, I need more than your opinion. Using a good fully buffered, pharmaceutical-grade {or better} L-ascorbate vitamin C product that has been tested for contaminants, is absolutely a healthy supplement to include in your regimen. Mega dosing is not required. And remember, if you are eating a good diet, you are getting some whole food C already, and all you need to do is add to it with a proper C supplement.

[darylw]

The error in this is thinking is that ascorbic acid is vitamin C. That is not the case. Ascorbic acid is part of the vitamin C complex in foods. Just because the government allows one to name ascorbic acid as vitamin C does not make it a fact. Ascorbic acid makes up about 1% of the vitamin C complex in our foods. If one gets scurvy, which is a vitamin C deficiency, you will not fix it with ascorbic acid isolates. You need the complete vitamin C complex to fix it.

I drink 1/2 of a lemon squeezed in a glass of water every day.

[mrhcopeland]

The most important is IV vitamin C 25k - 75K mg. Remarkable effect on sepsis, MRSA, Covid, and most bacterial, viral and fungal conditions and...cancer.

[VudrokWolf]

I don't take Vitamin C, but I eat enough fruits and vegetables that has vitamin c on them, so to me this has been the best way to get my vitamins, blood work shows all in check! :)

[supramby]

There is no way this needed to be a 17 minute video. I couldn’t take it

[doreenbibby]

Thank you for totally explaining all the vitamin C’s the pros and cons. I now understand what I’m looking at and what I’m buying when looking for vitamin C.

Linus Pauling made a convincing argument when he appeared on the Phil Donahue show (yeah, I'm old). Briefly, he said we lost the ability to produce it ourselves when we were eating a lot more fruit, but that other mammals which are similar in weight, like a goat, produce fifteen grams per day. He said if we consume that much it would be converted into other things we can use. He also warned that abrupt cessation would cause one to catch a cold or be more likely to get sick so we should taper off.
I followed his advice for a couple of years back in the 80's with no ill effects, "that I know of." I did catch a cold when I quit without tapering off, and did not catch any colds while using it (I don't think that proved anything).

I have always wondered if his claims were sufficiently researched, proven or debunked. However, I never looked into it.

For the last twelve years I've just tried to eat from each of the color categories of vegetables to get a variety of phyto-nutrients, consume at least half a cup of beans or tofu for protein and supplement sometimes with calcium citrate, K and D. I don't think I eat especially healthy as I'm eating sugar, ice cream and alcohol in moderate amounts.

[autohog]

Amazing! This is by far the most thorough comparison of VitC I have discovered.

[melikestuff]

Kind of a click bait title. Good information but ultimately what's the best vitamin C falls under "it depends". I find that the channel loses credibility when it has deceptive titles.
