hi @coolbowser.
What is your suggestion of the best way to get vitamin C in our bodies and how often should we do this?
I want to get started before groceries are bought today!

Hi crypto Connie! To start, unfortunately you can't just run to your grocery and get some. Most, and I'm talking over 90% of all vitamin C, is made from GMO corn. You want to stay away from that. A lot of it is also made in China. You want to stay away from that. Your best bet is to go to a health food store if you're wanting to start taking it today. But, again, even at a health food store you need to be careful what you buy. All vitamin C is NOT created equal.
You want a non GMO, pure ascorbic acid or sodium ascorbate with little to no fillers. By fillers I mean preservatives or additives. Stay away from calcium ascorbate or other salt ascorbates.
I'll be doing more posts here soon on what I take and my personal protocol soon. One brand I like is Solgar, which you should be able to find in most health food stores. They make several sizes, but I buy a 1000mg capsule, which is 1 gram. I would take these through-out the day. I take personally 10 to 20 grams a day, especially during cold and flu season. Haven't had as much as the sniffles in years since I've been doing this.
Hope this helps. There is also a wealth of info at www.vitamincfoundation.org.
I started taking vitamin C several times during the day, rather than in one lump sum. The reason for this is because the liver can only process so much at a time, and good vitamin C is too expensive to simply eliminate.
If you space it out over the course of the day, would that not mean that it is not high dose that you are taking?
If you space out the doses the liver will metabolize as much as it can and you will reach a steady state concentration that is not particularly high
Just a thought - I don’t know anything about this, was just passing by
High dose is grams of vitamin c. The RDA of vitamin c is less than 100 mg. So even 1 gram could be considered high dose. If I’m taking grams at a time that would be considered high dose. I personally take on average about 10 grams a day throughout the day. Thanks for the comment.
