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).

As a hay fever sufferer, I sometimes put the sodium ascorbate solution in a spray bottle and spray into my nostrils (vitamin C is an anti-histamine). I doubt spraying an acid into my nostrils will be comfortable, so I have never tried using ascorbic acid in this role.

Vitamin C high dosage main role in the body would be tissue regeneration. It is involved in tendon, bone and skin synthesis. So I would argue that higher dosage does have an important benefit.

At first, I took 500 mg per day of vitamin c but then I saw a yt video about a study made with vitamin c, they took between 2000 and 3000 mg 4 times per day because apparently, the good stuff peaks after 2½ hours in your body (something noone has ever told me) so now I'm eating 2000 mg with every meal so I'm eating between 6000 and 8000 mg per day, and I definitely now see a difference on my skin, it's become more glowing/brown ish making me look more healthy for sure.

[@r.r.8907]

High dosage does but the point is where and how it is sourced. The main argument in the video is that synthetic vitamin C through the human manufacturing process is sufficiently less dense and can have trace toxins due to the extraction from corn. Corn is one of the most heavily polluted crops out there and just as food in general loses its nutritional value during processing so can the vitamins not derived from Whole Foods. You may indeed be fine and want a higher dosage but that doesn’t mean your body will absorb it, use it, and excrete it the same way it does with natural/organic (I know there’s a difference but this context should be simple) plants, vegetables, and fruits

[@hardcoretrance3435]

Thank you for this clarification. I did not know this.

[@lazybrabbit7954]

From Dr Mercola. Thank you for reaching out to us regarding our Vitamin C product. Vitamin C is commonly found in citrus fruits. Dr. Mercola encourages obtaining these essential vitamins from foods. In the circumstances that one is unable to meet the daily requirements with food alone, a supplement can be used. To obtain 1,000 mg from fruit would require a large amount of raw material and would be extremely expensive, especially to make it into a liposomal product. These reasons would make it an impractical product for most consumers to purchase and use. Our vitamin C is pure ascorbic acid, the only form that exists naturally. It is not a bound with other materials. The ascorbic acid in the Vitamin C is sourced non-GMO corn (from China) and synthesized from glucose via a fermentation process. All of our supplement products are manufactured within the USA. **** MY question: Is this still a good source, is it synthetic?

[@ab935]

If you get a consumer lab membership you will find some of mercola's supplements don't contain what is claimed on the label. I don't know if he fixed this or not, as I have not been a member for a few years. BTW, too much fruit is not good for you either. There are other forms of ascorbate such as sodium.

[@healthyketoexperiment7964]

Very sorry to read that. I appreciate Dr Mercola for his work but I have never experienced improvements from synthetic c, being already healthy. Ascorbic acid is only helpful to acidify the stomach if it’s missing acid. Which I’m very careful nowadays not let happen. So ascorbic acid has not helped me. Only homemade sauerkraut did.

Glucose turns into vitamin C via enzymes in most animals with the exception of a very few. Humans had that capability as cavemen but lost one of the enzymes. That enzyme loss was likely adaptive because of the food situation back then and lack of storage processes. So man needs to supplement with vit C. Not sure why Berg insinuates that glucose turning into vit c via chemical processes is such a concern. ALL vitamin C made by animals starts as glucose. And there is an excellent source of Non GMO non Chinese Vit C from Ireland I believe. It can be found at the Vit C Foundation.

[@nobodynothing2594]

Bonne Naturel Agree 💯. We humans are just 2 steps short of making our own VitC. Whether ascorbic acid is derived from GMO or non GMO is of no consequence as the genetic material doesn’t get transferred to a pure molecule. Dr. Thomas Lévy & Andrew Saul & many more have cleared that several times.

Very conflicting data on Ascorbic Acid... And how does the "Linus Pauling heart protocol" work, if Ascorbic Acid has little to no benefit? Because it does work, and there are myriads other health protocols with high dose Ascorbic Acid...up to 100gr a day (intravenous) and more...that also work.

[@PhilLesh69]

I have a three pound bag of citric acid crystals, a pound and a half of ascorbic acid crystals, and I keep a bottle or two of minute maid frozen lemon juice in my freezer. It's like having instant lemons that store indefinitely. Anytime I buy more than a few lemons I wind up throwing the fuzzy ones away before I can use them all up. Plus, citric acid is like white vinegar. Once you have a lot of it on hand you discover all kinds of household uses. I drop a couple tablespoons in the dishwasher every once in a while to get rid of mineral and gunk deposits in the filter, for example. It's also good for coffee stains in coffee pots, or for descaling the coffee maker.

[@tom4542]

really good information. I noticed on your label erythritol. I really like some of your products. Please know some of us with really bad stomach issues have problems with things like Erythritol. I have to avoid most Polyols or sugar alcohols like the plague. Additives like that make or break a product for me unfortunately. For a sweetener, I found monk fruit with no Erythritol is best , 2nd is stevia. I really don't know why companies insist on additives that irritate the stomach. Especially the ones marketed for people with serious health and digestive issues. So many medicines and supplements do this. And it just makes the issues worse. I eventually have to just throw away and stop trying most supplements like this. It's difficult to find good ones with no extra additives or the correct ones. Again though, I appreaciate all that you do and your products. I'm just throwing this out there because i never see it brought up. Even a little erythrirol or Mannitol, Maltitol is very bad. Oddly i can get away with a small amount of sucralose though, I mostly avoid it however. Everything has to be sweetened beyond natural taste now days, I don't get it.

Is calcium ascorbate a type of vitamin C? From Citrus bioflavonoids from lemon peels?

[@landontheword]

I used to get pnemonia every year and was put on antibiotics; eventually very high doses. Then, a new doctor refused to give me antibiotics saying they would not work when I got older if I kept taking these doses. He put me on vitamin C only. I did this evey year for about 5 years and then, I no longer got pnemonia. It just went away. The doses was crazy...and will sound crazy...but I had a stubborn strain and needed mega doses: 1,000ml every 15 minutes...all day long. Extreme...but that was what I needed - and it worked! Vitamin C is water soluable so if there is too much in your system, it leaves your body:)

Your videos have definitely made my life better man. It's unfortunate that we can't trust anyone in the medical field. It's good We live in a day & age that when we have information that helps everyone we can share it to a degree. I always liked sauerkraut as a kid and it really helps me more than anything especially with my abdominal pains & overall quality of life. I can't get any quality medical attention anyplace in Massachusetts. I get accused of being a glutton and or looking for pain meds when I'm just scared about what's happening to me and your videos have helped a great deal! My medical is state-issued I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the treatment I'm getting or not.

[@kikki2012]

Dr. Berg, regarding the research you refer to about the minimal effects of synthetic vitamin C, do you know the doses that were used? I know that the suggested daily intake is very low, so if they used let's say 50 or 100 mg of synthetic ascorbic acid, it would not do much anyway. I'm curious if 1 g would have given different results. (I certainly would prefer a natural version, but it is currently beyond my budget.)

[@TheChefLady4JC]

What about Vitamin C in the form of Sodium Ascorbate? Dr. Suzanne Humphries highly recommends this form over Ascorbic Acid.

[@nosretep1960]

Depending on the process, they get a % of l-ascorbic acid, which is the only FORM biologically active in humans. Other FORMs do work as preservatives. Ascorbates are minerals bound to the ascorbic acid. There's excellent documentaries on KZbin.
