 What do you think of Whole Food Complex Vitamin C?Quote: Hi Owen, My family and I are interested in taking Dr Paulings recipe of vitamin c and Lysine together. My question is, is it alright to take a different form of vitamin c than ascorbic acid or sodium ascorbate? The one we would like to take is whole food complex vitamin c by Nature\'s way. It is pure vitamin c taken from organic acerola fruit, goji fruit, kiwi fruit and amla fruit. Thanks so much for your help, Sarah and family in Oregon Well, my answer would only be a guess. And that is the point. We know that regular vitamin C and lysine work. It is unknown how much vitamin C is in the "whole food complex" product, so you would be taking somewhat of a risk. However, if no one in your family has overt disease, then I don't see a real problem other than perhaps expense. The preventive dosage of vitamin C is probably between 3000 to 6000 mg of vitamin C daily. (Although I once wrote that 10,000 mg of vitamin probably protects 99% of the population.) You might figure out how much of that product you would need to get this much vitamin C. _________________ Owen R. Fonorow, Orthomolecular Naturopath |

Re: What do you think of Whole Food Complex Vitamin C? Geez!!! 4 caps=500mg of V-C
So to get just 3000mg you'd have to take 24 Caps. A $17 bottle would last 5 days. Per person With all the other stuff in there caps it would probably turn into a DYNAMITE Laxitive.  Just go get some powder Ascorbic, powder L-Lysine and some stevia. Total cost @ $25 would last about a month per person. Easy way just order it from the foundation store!!  http://www.iherb.com/Nature-s-Way-Alive ... 15775?at=0 _________________ To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism.

Owen, I must say I loved the way you answered. Rather than explicitly saying that the whole foods supplements are a ridiculous way of getting a vitamin C supply, you told him to make his own calculation. Excellent.  _________________ Dolev |
