I mean questions like: Is it good to take vit B with vit E at the same time? Is it good to take this and that together?
The best thing is to take Mineral Foo with Mineral Bar at the same time.
thank you

I have stopped assuming that merely because it occurs in plants in nature, it is optimal for animal, much less human consumption. It certainly might be, but the forces of nature would "naturally" work in the opposite direction - as a defense mechanism to protect the plants. (What benefits do plants gain from being eaten, unless the seeds drop out the bottom end well nourished.. )
This is why I believe that there are so many drugs derived from plants. There are so many plant poisons, and pharmaceutical companies concentrate on plant poisons (e.g. lovastatin, See: http://www.newswithviews.com/Ellison/shane16.htm ) as the basis for their new drugs.
In regards to vitamin C, if the whole foods (or natural C complex) crowd are correct, then very small amounts of "natural" vitamin C from foods would not only protect from scurvy, but from colds, cancer and heart disease. Every vegetarian on a low junk food diet would need almost no extra vitamin C.
Back to bioavailability, do a Google/Medline search on Vinson. He is the scientist who showed that Aloe in conjunction with vitamin C can vastly improve its bioavailability. Otherwise, we have found almost no other science that you can improve vitamin C bioavailability (outside of liposomes), other than Lewin's comment that vitamin C should be taken with protein (amino acids).

I think there has to be an element of logic and not just total reliance on scientific evidence, which often ends up being 180 degrees wrong a few years later.
Why are there virtually no side effects inmost herbs compared to the drugs witht he same chemical? Because they are balanced with the necessary nutrients, enzymes and buffers to utilize these chemicals. It's not worth arguing about, you either believe in the power of nature or you don't.
