Confused about Vitamin C?

The Vitamin C Foundation only markets the real thing. Don't be fooled by high-priced products claiming to be "natural" or "complex" vitamin C. There is no scientific basis what-so-ever for the claim that a "natural vitamin C complex" exists.

Our research has shown that almost all so-called "natural" products contain ordinary vitamin C (as ascorbic acid) with a "natural complex" filler added.

A few products offer vitamin C that has been extracted from fruit. The prices for such "natural" products can be an astounding 1000 times greater than the cost of ordinary vitamin C. Vitamin C is the most volatile of all the vitamins, so consumers have no way of knowing how much vitamin C survived the extraction process.

We say: If you want vitamin C from fruit - eat an orange or two, you'll likely get more vitamin C than a "natural complex" product.

Nobelist and Vitamin C Expert Linus Pauling Was Unequivocal

Not all forms of vitamin C are created equal. The form of vitamin C taken by the late 2-time Nobelist Linus Pauling was "ascorbic acid ." Pauling took his ascorbic acid in water and he added some bicarbonate (baking) soda to make a delicious effervescent drink.

Ascorbic acid (hydrogen ascorbate) is the form made in the livers (or kidneys) of most animals. This form is highly reactive and it is biologically active. According to Robert Cathcart, MD, the world's leading vitamin C expert, twice as much of any other form of the vitamin is required to achieve therapeutic results when taken by mouth. [*]

"I noticed that it was not entirely clear that the dramatic effects are always with ascorbic acid orally and sodium ascorbate intravenously. I have not been able to achieve the ascorbate effect with mineral ascorbates orally. Mineral ascorbates are fine forms of vitamin C but when you are really sick, the mitochondria are failing in their refueling of the free radical scavengers with electrons. The ascorbic acid carries 2 extra electrons per molecule where the mineral ascorbates seem to carry only one (plus per molecule the mineral ascorbates are heavier due to the mineral weighing more than the hydrogen the mineral replaces). So the mineral ascorbates are not potent enough to accomplish the ascorbate effect. There may be other reasons that we do not appreciate additionally. " - Robert Cathcart, MD.

Make the Right Choice

The Foundation approves but does not actually sell vitamin C. Intelisoft Multimedia, Inc. is the company that actually markets our approved products. However, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Vitamin C Foundation approved ultra-fine vitamin C are used to fund Foundation research and activities.

Vitamin C Foundation approved vitamin C may not be right for everyone. Excellent sources sell ordinary vitamin C for less than we do, e.g. vitaminCstore.com. If you are a perfectionist, want to help the Foundation, and are willing to pay a little extra for a product that has been fully analyzed, free of impurities, including 100% free of corn, certified as such, and GMO-free, then we can now offer you the vitamin C product that you are looking for.

Note on so-called 'Natural' Vitamin C

"There is no form of Vitamin C more "natural" than the molecule that virtually all species manufacture in their livers or kidneys - L-ascorbic acid. This molecule in chemical notation is C6H8O6, and your body can't tell the difference between these molecules. " - Owen Fonorow

There are companies that market "natural" C-complexes to hide the fact that their vitamin C is less pure.

Unlike Vitamin E, the only difference between brands of vitamin C are impurities introduced during the manufacturing process.

Study the label of so-called 'natural' products. If the product has more than 200 mg of vitamin C, we will bet it contains regular (manufactured) vitamin C as ascorbic acid. If it contains less, remember you can get the same amount of vitamin C by eating a few oranges.

Powder versus Capsules

Pure vitamin C powder is the only form of the vitamin we supply. Linus Pauling added bicarbonate of soda to make an effervescent drink. See: How to Live Longer and Feel Better (Pauling, 1986).

For those that find ascorbic acid powder hard to swallow, it is easy an inexpensive to make your own capsules. Check out your local health food store for generic capsules and the do-it-yourself capsule making kits.

Note: Our vitamin C powders are ascorbic acid and they are intended for oral use. Only sodium-ascorbate should be used IV (for intravenous infusion.)

The OSU Press has released the 20th anniversary edition of the landmark "How To Live Longer and Feel Better"...

"I conclude from this study that the prophylactic intake of ascorbic acid, the dose taken regularly to preserve good health and provide protection against disease, almost certainly should be more than 250 mg per day for most people.

"Other considerations led me to suggest the range 250 mg to 4000 mg, or even 10,000 mg for the recommended daily intake for most people." Page 133 HOW TO LIVE LONGER AND FEEL BETTER (Linus Pauling, 1986, Paperback)

Dr. Thomas Levy's new book STOP AMERICA'S #1 KILLER is available.

Dr. Levy is medical doctor and a cardiolgist by training. Some time ago, Dr. Levy analyzed all 27 known cardiovascular disease risk factors. Levy discovered that they all can be reduced to a single factor - low vitamin C.

Just released, the new Levy book surveys the massive scientific evidence connecting dietary vitamin C deficiency with the cause of the circulartory condition commonly called heart disease. The disease condition is characterized by atherosclerotic plaque build-ups in arteries leading to angina, heart attack and stroke.
