Today, let’s talk about vitamin C. I want to increase your awareness of the type of vitamin C you might be taking and the type you should be taking.

According to recent editions of the dictionary, ascorbic acid is the same thing as vitamin C. But, is the type of ascorbic acid in most vitamin supplements actually similar to vitamin C found in nature?

In my opinion, no. Ascorbic acid (synthetic vitamin C) is made from glucose and other chemicals. Personally, I would only take ascorbic acid for a short-term detox cleanse, not on a long-term basis.

The best type of vitamin C to get is vitamin C from food or food-based vitamins.

Foods that have the most vitamin C:
• Leafy greens
• Berries
• Lemons
• Organ meats
• Bell peppers
• Sauerkraut

Things you need to know about vitamin C:
1. There is little to no benefit from taking high doses of ascorbic acid.

2. Most vitamin C sold is fake and made from sugar.

3. Vitamin C is not absorbed well if you consume sugar at the same time.

4. A mega-dose of ascorbic acid may cause oxidation, diarrhea, and bloating.

After living with stomach cramps and gut issues for decades, I’ve finally been able to identify all the ingredients that had been doing a number on me. No more! Since I’ve gone organic, grass fed, non-gmo, pasture raised and non synthetic supplements and or vitamins, I feel much better! Thanks for all you do for us!

Vit C IV by patient weight is something my neurologist did as part of her surgical procedure because it noticeably super charged faster healing, obliterated swelling, and she had ZERO post op infections for 35 years! I wish all surgeons did this but pharma suppression therapy is all they know or care to know.... so sad.

Just the mention of vitamin c from China makes me want a natural source.

Vitamin C is actually the ascorbate ion. Ascorbic acid is the ascorbate ion paired with a hydrogen ion, so ascorbic acid is only one of a number of forms of vitamin C. Other common forms include sodium ascorbate, calcium ascorbate, etc. My preferred form is sodium ascorbate crystals I get from Bronson. At the onset of a cold/flu, I take very large doses of sodium ascorbate (usually 25-35 grams on the first day divided into hourly doses, approximately the dosage recommended by Linus Pauling in his book "How to Live Longer and Feel Better") and the cold/flu disappears rapidly. Also in treatment for cancer, the vitamin C used in IV is sodium ascorbate, not ascorbate acid (Cameron and Pauling, 1979, Cancer and Vitamin C).

With every one of Dr Berg's videos I am astounded how much we are misled by meds and otc supplements. WOW there is a lot to be learned.
The sad thing is... it's so hard to find everything organic and also expensive.

I’ve taken synthetic vit c for decades but also try to eat a lot of fruits and veggies. So far I’m still here and feeling good

The Truth Dr. Berg brings out is why he is so successful in assisting the public find their way to a healthier life and why he is loved world wide.
This video is perfect example.
Thanks, Dr. Berg team you did it again

I have vitamin C from my own rosehip and quince seeds. Seeds from 70 years ago, not genetically modified, is a tradition in my family.

My genuine gratitude, respect and joy to/for experts like you. My surgeon and endocrinologist saved my life 4 years ago, when a pure stroke of luck lead me into his hands. Successfully removed the tumor. Since then, meticulously monitoring me and educating me every step of the way as to the numerous misconceptions and negligence of others (cannot call them genuine experts) that eventually contributed to tumor growth till I found him. Another stroke of luck is that my mother, when retired, decided to go back to our late grandparents land and live there, in peace, fresh air, spring water and garden plants (all sorts of fruits, vegetables, no artificial 'boosters'). Since than, not a single piece of market product has been brought into our home. Thank you, him and a select few people genuinely devoted to a healthy life. Tumor free. And healthy! Thank you! 🙏♥️

Thank you for taking the time and bring awareness to what the massive corporations are all about. Thank you, Dr. Berg, for helping our health.

Just came back to review this and Thank you again... This information changed my health dramatically... Managed to avoid going to the dentist and having most of my teeth drilled and filled, and eventually removed. No more loose teeth and bleeding gums... I eat lots of peppers and sauerkraut (raw) and also blend half an organic lemon, blueberry, and Dr Berg's veggie green powder every day both for vitamin c and trace minerals as well as cleansing liver. Lemon is with peel on of course. :)

Dr. Oz really made a mistake by not having you on his show. You are a treasure on this earth.

[chrislanciani]

I wish I could figure out what vitamin C to take ?!!?!

[BerserkersBattle-]

Dr. Berg you're a wealth of information when it comes to health care. Im always sending my mom your videos and she sends me videos from you also. Thank you for being a top notch healthcare provider, Doctor.

[arseniaventura]

Dr. Berg, please, can you make a video on how to detox from plastic, since this generation is polluted with plastic, from the foods we eat to the environment we live in. Thank you Dr. Berg.

[tasleempatel]

Thank you for suggesting food to get vitamin C requirements in the body. Most doctors just suggest taking medicine. I love how you explain the material notes and diagrams, and break them down into chunks.
